Alleged gang members charged in racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking

SAN DIEGO - Two dozen alleged North Park gang members and their associates were charged in an indictment unsealed Wednesday as members of a racketeering conspiracy linked to the trafficking of women and girls as young as 15, a murder nearly 20 years ago and robbery and drug offenses.

U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy said a combination of two gangs, dubbed "BMS" by law enforcement, earned money by trafficking 60 girls and women from ages 15 to 25 for prostitution in 46 cities in 23 states, including Alaska and Hawaii.

"Over the last several years, the defendants in this enterprise had really expanded enterprise activities, like a profit-driven, fast-expanding corporation," Duffy said. "The kind of sex trafficking described in the indictment is nothing less than modern-day slavery. Unfortunately, this is something we're beginning to see more and more with gangs, moving away from some of the traditional gang behavior into this type of business."

Early Wednesday, police and FBI agents arrested 14 of the suspects in San Diego, two in Arizona and one in New Jersey. Four of the defendants were already in custody on other charges, according to Duffy.

Named in the indictment are San Diego residents Aaron Dwayne Pittman, 31; Alvin Bernard Mitchell, 36; Robert Banks III, 33; Hakeem Tayari Dunn, 33; Marcus Anthony Stevenson, 29; Labarron Carnell Coker, 32; Malik Hassan Kelly, 32; Harold Randolph Martin, 32; Anthony Dwayne Edmond, 28; Tony Brown, 32; Jakari Deandrez Blake, 23; Jonathan Devon Price, 23; Bradley West Reynolds, 24; Akili Lynn Cobb, 26; Christopher Michael Wall, 28; Everett Burdette Williams, 25; Marcus John Anthony Griffin, 26; Edward Reynolds, 27; Nicole Lee Rice, 25; Yasenia Armentaro, 22; and Nadine Davis, 23.

Firearms, drugs, luxury cars, televisions, cash, "pimp paraphernalia" and Air Jordan shoes were also seized in connection with the arrests, authorities said.

Ronald Ruason Hollingsworth, Dante Levell Grant and Ronald Ledon Jackson remain at large.

Duffy alleged the defendants were involved in various aspects of the enterprise; some transported the prostitutes, used violence to maintain their loyalty, handled money or booked hotel rooms.

Assistant San Diego police Chief Cesar Solis said the investigation that led to the charges began following a routine vice arrest.

The defendants allegedly recruited prostitutes from El Cajon Boulevard and other areas, or lured them in through social media websites. They were violently forced into the business or were coerced with promises of a glamorous lifestyle, Duffy said.

The girls and women were often tattooed with gang monikers, pimps' names or bar codes, authorities said.

The indictment also outlined overt acts, including the 1995 killing of a delivery driver, in which one of the defendants was suspected; drug dealing; and robbery.

Duffy said racketeering conspiracy charges-- a statute typically used in prosecuting organized crime syndicates, would allow for the most severe penalties.

She said 49 women and 11 teenage girls were provided with various types of assistance.

The local defendants are scheduled to make their first court appearance Thursday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Major.

The BMS organization was engaged in a variety of illegal activities, including but not limited to the prostitution of minor and adult females, murder, attempted murder, robbery, and narcotics trafficking. At all relevant times, the BMS operated in the Southern D istrict of California and elsewhere. The organization and the individuals who associate with it for criminal purposes constituted an "enterprise," as defined by T itle 18, United States Code, Section 1961(4) (hereinafter the "Enterprise"), that is, a group of individuals associated in fact. The Enterprise constituted an ongoing organization whose members functioned as a continuing unit for the common purpose of achieving the objectives of the Enterprise. The Enterprise was engaged in, and its activities affected, interstate and
foreign commerce.

Indictment
The BMS is prim arily comprised of A frican American gang members from two San Diego gang sets. Primary membership of the BMS comes from members of the "Black MOB" criminal street gang. Unlike traditional street gangs, this group does not claim "Crip" or "Blood" associations and tends to get along with members of both factions. Members of Black MOB make references to the term "the Blackness" and 20 address one another as "Black." Secondary membership of BMS comes from the "Skanless" criminal street gang. Members of Skanless tend to be older members or "big homies" within the Enterprise. Like Black MOB, Skanless does not claim "Crip" or "Blood" associations and tends to get along with members of both factions.
Many of the members and associates of the BMS are allied with members and associates of several other criminal street gangs including but not lim ited to the Neighborhood Crips (NHC) , 5/ 9 Brims,Lincoln Park, East San Diego (E.S.D.), West Coast Crips (W.C.C.) and 2 Garden Boy Crips (G.B.C.). The BMS is comprised of several groups or cliques such as the "Nutty Boys," "No FAB," and "Young Pimpin' Fuck a 4 Bitch" aka "YP FAB." Members of the BMS, including its groups, come 5 together for one common goal, which is to make money through criminal 6 acts and to raise their status within the Enterprise.

There are several generations within the BMS, which provides a form of hierarchy where older generations teach and advise the younger generations. In all, BMS acts as a "family" where all memberswork together committing various criminal acts to make money and further support the Enterprise, which is sometimes referred to as "mobbin." Members of the BMS confer with each other on how best to conduct their criminal activities and assist each other with their criminal activity.
Black MOB activities began in San Diego in or about the 16 early 1990s, which led to the gang's number being "190." In 1995, several members of Black MOB perpetrated the homicide of a pizza delivery man, which noted one of the first major offenses perpetrated by members of Black MOB. Skanless also formed in or about the early 1990s. Skanless's gang number is "75."

The BMS claims the area of "North Park" San Diego. The 23 boundaries of this area include approximately Interstate 8 to the 24 North, Interstate 805 to the East, Highway 163 to the West, and Upas 25 Street to the South. The BMS claims the North Park water tower 26 located at 4200 Idaho Street as a symbol of their gang territory. The BMS primarily congregates at the North Park Recreation Center located at 4100 Idaho Street but is also known to congregate at Morley Field and Montclair Park in San Diego.

Members of the Enterprise, acting as pimps, transported their female prostitutes across state lines, to states including, but not limited to: Alaska, Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii, Colorado, Texas, New Jersey, New York, Washington D.C., Idaho, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Utah, Washington, Florida, Virginia, and Kansas.
