D.C. drug bust nabs 12 alleged members of Kennedy Street Crew

June 28, 2023

 

D.C. and federal law enforcement have arrested 12 alleged gang members of the Kennedy Street Crew in a drug trafficking crackdown.

 

The Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia said Tuesday the gang members were charged with distributing fentanyl, marijuana and a cocaine-like substance. Some of the defendants also were charged with money laundering, gun violations and assault with a dangerous weapon.

 

“The Kennedy Street Crew operated over an 11-block stretch, trafficking in large amounts of drugs and firearms and possessing numerous firearms in furtherance of its operations,” U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves said in a press release. “Criminal organizations like this are a magnet for violence.”

 

Federal prosecutors said the Kennedy Street Crew, or KDY, ran open-air drug markets in and around the 100-1200 blocks of Kennedy Street NW.

 

The gang is accused of distributing the drugs along that strip and using illegal firearms to defend its turf through violence and intimidation. The gang members are also accused of conspiring to set up shell corporations to launder their drug money.
