Authorities announce charges against 18 people in 'organized crime network' connected to Cleveland gang

‘The Fully Blooded Felons resorted to the worst kinds of violent acts, including murder, kidnapping, assault and robbery.’

In Cleveland, U.S. Attorney Rebecca Lutzko, alongside federal and local partners, revealed a new indictment on Wednesday. The indictment includes charges against 18 individuals associated with the Fully Blooded Felons gang in Cleveland.

“The defendants charged are alleged to have committed numerous federal crimes, including Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) conspiracy, murder in aid of racketeering, kidnapping in aid of racketeering, assault in aid of racketeering, firearms violations, conspiracy and drug trafficking,” according to a press release from Lutzko’s office. “The investigation that led to this second superseding indictment took place throughout the last two years, with the initial indictment issued on Dec. 20, 2023, followed by a superseding indictment on April 4, 2024.”

INVESTIGATION DETAILS

“The superseding indictment alleges that these 18 defendants were leaders, members, or associates of the Fully Blooded Felons, a violent gang that — for more than a decade — made money and controlled territory in Northern Ohio through murder, arson, robbery, drug trafficking, and firearms possession,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “Violence and other gang activities make communities less safe for all of their residents.”

Through a series of coordinated arrests, authorities said they confiscated 15 illegally possessed firearms, cocaine, methamphetamine and more than 400 grams of fentanyl.

“The FBF’s framework was allegedly created by its highest-ranking member, Raven Mullins, who held the self-proclaimed position of ‘Godfather,'” according to a press release. “The gang structure included a ‘Commission’ made up of a member subgroup known as ‘Commissioners.’ Together, they maintained the enterprise’s organization through physical discipline and by determining which illicit means they would pursue to generate income. To accomplish their goal of promoting and enhancing their criminal enterprise and its members’ and associates’ activities, and preserving and protecting their territories, FBF members and associates conspired to commit and did commit a murder, assaults, robberies and drug trafficking.”

Authorities said investigators had discovered that gang members occupied two separate units at a local apartment complex, using “stash houses” for drug trafficking.

“According to the second superseding indictment, on Sept. 12, 2023, Raven Mullins, Henry Burchett and James Clemons, along with another unidentified individual, shot and killed a victim on the westside of Cleveland,” according to the press release. “After killing the victim, the defendants fled the scene in a stolen vehicle that was later set on fire.”
