Kevin Gates Affiliates Raided by Feds, Caught with Kilograms of Cocaine

This indictment, which contains chilling allegations of a murder plot and other violence, is aimed squarely at the heart of a violent drug trafficking organization allegedly responsible for spreading significant amounts of crack cocaine, powder cocaine, MDMA, and other illegal drugs throughout our district. Every community and every person deserves peace, security, and freedom from the tyranny of violent drug traffickers. This indictment seeks to advance that goal. The combined federal, state, and local effort, which resulted in the indictment, reflects once again the unified front against crime in this district. I greatly appreciate the tremendous dedication and hard work by the agents and prosecutors working on this important matter.” – Walt Green, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Louisiana
