Five Members and Associates of the Family Mob Street Gang Federally Charged

Wednesday, February 25, 2026

For Immediate Release

U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS – Three indictments and two criminal complaints were unsealed today in the District of Minnesota charging members and associates of the Family Mob street gang with drug trafficking charges. Agents and officers, including multiple S.W.A.T. Teams, executed several arrest and search warrants this morning targeting the gang and its members.

“The Family Mob Gang is a ruthless criminal organization that uses violence to traffic poisonous narcotics, including fentanyl. No more,” said U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen. “As alleged, these defendants dumped countless doses of fentanyl into our community. My office is proud to work with our local, state, and federal partners to pursue justice against violent criminals and those who profit from distributing dangerous narcotics.”

“The distribution of illegal narcotics in our communities is unacceptable, as is the associated violent crime that too often affects innocent residents,” said Richard Evanchec, the Interim Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Minneapolis Field Office. “This case should send a message to other violent gangs that we’ll continue work with our partners at all levels of government to bring to justice those responsible for instilling fear into our communities and polluting them with illegal narcotics.”

“These investigations underscore the critical importance of strong collaboration with local, state, and federal agencies on serious criminal matters that impact our most vulnerable people,” said Dawanna Witt, Sheriff of Hennepin County. “The investigative work and incredible results from HCSO’s WMDTF along with the FBI, DEA, and MPD is making a real impact on the drug trade in Hennepin County. I will continue to prioritize aggressively pursuing violent criminals who threaten the safety of those in our community.”

“I’m incredibly proud of the members of the MPD who worked this, and who consistently go above expectations in their dedication to keeping our community safe,” said Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara. “And I’m grateful for our federal and county partners whose hard work and dedication made today possible.”

“The Family Mob Gang ruled by intimidation and violence, and wrongly assumed they could operate with impunity,” Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Omaha Field Division Special Agent in Charge Dustin Gillespie said. “Today, the combined efforts of federal, state and local law enforcement imparted a significant blow to the drug trafficking efforts of a gang that has spread poison through a beloved Minneapolis community. Our job at the DEA is to remove the criminal threats from our neighborhoods, dismantle the drug distribution networks and save American lives. This is a plan we put into action every single day and we are relentless.”

According to the allegations in indictment, complaint, and unsealed records, the defendants were members or associates of the Family Mob gang, which is based in south Minneapolis and originated in approximately the late 1990’s to early 2000’s. The Family Mob conspires to distribute fentanyl, crack cocaine, methamphetamine, and other controlled substances. In the past year, the area in the Family Mob’s territory has seen a large presence of open-air drug trafficking, weapons violations, shootings, and homicides.

The charged defendants are alleged to have collectively possessed with intent to distribute over seven kilos of fentanyl since July 2025 to the present. The group is alleged to have dealt fentanyl in a de-facto open air drug market in the area of Lake Street and Park Avenue in South Minneapolis, using force to push other drug dealers out of the area.

If convicted, the defendants face a range of penalties, including up to life in prison drug trafficking. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after the consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

FBI, DEA, the Minneapolis Police Department, and Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Raphael B. Coburn and William C. Mattessich for the District of Minnesota are prosecuting the case.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

On June 18, 2025, HCSO detectives entered a Richfield apartment to execute a narcotics search warrant.Inside the apartment, detectives discovered Mark Anthony Davis (aka Silk Lamond Davis), a woman,and a six-year-old child.

Additionally, detectives uncovered evidence including a backpack filled with suspected fentanyl and cocaine, a black bag stuffed with more cocaine, two iPhones, and a shoebox with about $23,000 in cash, alongside a black case with another $3,000. In total, detectives recovered 2 kilos of cocaine and 1 kilo of fentanyl, with a combined street value of roughly $70,000, signaling the intent to sell.

Davis confessed to living with his wife and son in the apartment, claiming sole responsibility for the drugs and cash. He was arrested and now faces two counts of 1st degree aggravated controlled substance. We’re grateful to our West Metro Drug Task Force detectives for their investigative work on this case and their efforts to get dangerous and deadly narcotics out of homes (especially those with small children), and off the streets completely.

Wasn't the place that St George of Fentynyl and Chauvin worked at together, on Lake Street?

The

Family Mob is a long-standing street gang that has been active in South Minneapolis for over two decades, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota.

Key Historical Developments:

Origins: The gang originated in the late 1990s to early 2000s. Unlike some national gangs, it is primarily based in south Minneapolis and has maintained a presence there for approximately 25 to 30 years.

Territorial Control: The group established deep roots along the Lake Street corridor, particularly near the intersections of Lake Street and Park Avenue and Lake Street and Chicago Avenue. They are notorious for controlling a stretch known as "The Wall," where they reportedly operated a sophisticated, 24/7 "de facto open-air drug market".

Tactics and Violence: Historically, the gang has used violence and intimidation to push out rival drug dealers and maintain control over its territory. This culminated in a significant surge of violence in recent years, including shootings and homicides.

September 2025 Violence: A major turning point occurred on September 15, 2025, when two mass shootings happened within a 12-hour span along the East Lake Street corridor. These incidents left 10 people injured and two dead, prompting the intensive federal investigation that led to recent arrests.

Drug Trafficking Evolution: While traditionally involved in distributing crack cocaine and methamphetamine, the gang transitioned heavily into fentanyl trafficking. Authorities allege they recently distributed enough fentanyl for over 3.5 million lethal doses in a seven-month period.

The recent multi-agency operation, involving the FBI, DEA, and Minneapolis Police, was described by officials as one of the largest law enforcement actions in the city's history aimed at dismantling this specific group

how close is the terf of the family mob to the locations for the renee good incident, the alex pretty incident, and george floyd incident

The territory of the

Family Mob gang is closely situatedto several of south Minneapolis's most significant recent incident sites, all within a small geographic radius of roughly one to two miles.

Geographic Proximity Overview

The gang’s primary "turf" is centered along the East Lake Street corridor

, specifically the intersection of Lake Street and Park Avenue

.

George Floyd Incident (May 2020):

Location: 38th Street

and Chicago Avenue South

(George Floyd Square

).

Distance: Approximately 1.2 milessouth of the Family Mob’s central hub at Lake and Park

.

Renee Good Incident (January 7, 2026):

Location: 34th Street

and Portland Avenue South

.

Distance: Approximately 0.5 miles (8 blocks)south of the gang's Lake and Park

territory. This site is also only about six blocks north of where George Floyd was killed.

Alex Pretti Incident (January 24, 2026):

Location: 26th Street

and Nicollet Avenue South

(the "Eat Street" corridor

).

Distance: Approximately 1.1 miles west of the gang's Lake and Park

territory.

Contextual Connections

While the incidents involving Renee Good and Alex Pretti were related to federal immigration enforcement operations (Operation Metro Surge) rather than gang activity, the geographic overlap has heightened community tensions.

The Minneapolis Police Department recently noted that a surge in violence in September 2025 along this same East Lake Street corridor—including two mass shootings—eventually led to the joint federal-local investigation that dismantled the Family Mob in early 2026.
