A federal grand jury indicted 12 members of the Western Hills Bloods on charges of committing violent crimes in aid of racketeering, including murder and assault with a dangerous weapon, and six counts of drug trafficking, according to a 20-page indictment unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court in 蜜柚直播.

The suspected gang members are accused of selling cocaine, heroin and marijuana out of houses in an area known locally as 鈥淭he Vistas鈥� from 2012 to 2015, according to the indictment.

They used acts of violence to raise their stature within the gang and intimidated witnesses who could testify against them, according to the indictment. Federal prosecutors said the gang members posted threats of violence on YouTube and Facebook to raise the gang鈥檚 profile.

The indictment lists David Kapone Williams, aka 鈥淵oung Flawless鈥�; Michael Anthony Williams, aka 鈥淕angsta Mike鈥�; Megan Ashlie Borges, aka 鈥淪tunna鈥�; Cliffton Martinez, aka 鈥淐K鈥�; and Jermaine Maxwell, aka 鈥淜aps.鈥� The names of seven other defendants were redacted from the indictment documents.

The gang鈥檚 activities were concentrated in an area bordered by East 36th Street to the north, East Ajo Way to the south, South Kino Parkway to the west, and South Country Club Road to the east, according to the indictment.

The indicted gang members are accused of possessing with the intent to distribute 11 pounds of cocaine. The indictment also lists seven alleged drug-trafficking incidents from 2012 to 2015 involving cocaine, smaller amounts of heroin, and several pounds of marijuana.

As part of the criminal enterprise, gang members rented houses in 鈥淭he Vistas鈥� neighborhood under the names of their girlfriends and associates, which allowed the gang members to remain unconnected to the houses if they were raided by law enforcement.

The houses were used as 鈥渟hops鈥� or 鈥渃rack houses鈥� to sell drugs. Gang members took turns running the houses, which were sparsely furnished and used surveillance cameras to protect against law enforcement and other gangs.

Six people are accused of killing a man in May 2015: David Kapone Williams, then 25; Borges, 21; Michael Anthony Williams, 21; and three unnamed people.

David Kapone Williams also is accused of assaulting a rival gang member with a dangerous weapon in October 2015, according to the indictment.

The indictment included few details about the slaying, but the details match the fatal shooting of a 29-year-old man at a hotel near the 蜜柚直播 International Airport.

蜜柚直播 police responded to reports of gunfire at La Quinta Inn and Suites, 7001 S. 蜜柚直播 Blvd., around 12:30 a.m. May 16, 2015. Officers found a man, identified as Floyd Davis, in the parking lot with gunshot wounds, according to a 蜜柚直播 Police Department news release at the time.

Detectives with the gang unit determined he was shot when he and a friend got out of their vehicle and began walking to the hotel.
