TWIN CITIES MN: Three indictments and two criminal complaints were unsealed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Minnesota charging members and associates of the so-called “Family Mob” street gang with federal drug trafficking offenses, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota.
Federal, state and local agents — including multiple SWAT teams — executed several arrest and search warrants Thursday morning targeting the group and its alleged members.
U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen said in a statement that the defendants are accused of flooding the community with fentanyl and other narcotics.
“The Family Mob Gang is a ruthless criminal organization that uses violence to traffic poisonous narcotics, including fentanyl. No more,” Rosen said. “As alleged, these defendants dumped countless doses of fentanyl into our community.”
According to court documents, members and associates of the Family Mob — a gang based in south Minneapolis that allegedly originated in the late 1990s or early 2000s — conspired to distribute fentanyl, crack cocaine, methamphetamine and other controlled substances. Investigators allege the group operated what authorities described as a de facto open-air drug market near Lake Street and Park Avenue, using force to push rival dealers out of the area.
Prosecutors allege the defendants collectively possessed with intent to distribute more than seven kilograms of fentanyl from July 2025 to the present. Law enforcement officials say the area identified as the gang’s territory has seen high levels of open-air drug sales, weapons violations, shootings and homicides in the past year.
The following individuals are charged federally:
Silk Lamond Davis, 48, of Minneapolis, also known as “Good” or “Do Good,” charged by indictment with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and cocaine.
Alexisus Jarmon Mosby, 44, of Bloomington, also known as “Snake,” charged by indictment with distribution of fentanyl.
Kiron Jamoll Williams, 43, of Minneapolis, charged by indictment with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.
Rashshon Jamahl Taggett, 44, of Minneapolis, also known as “Dread” or “Lay Low,” charged by complaint with conspiracy to distribute fentanyl.
Lakendrick Darnell Gilliam, 38, of St. Paul, also known as “Bay Bay,” charged by complaint with conspiracy to distribute fentanyl.
If convicted, the defendants face significant penalties under federal law, including up to life in prison. Any sentence will be determined by a federal district court judge after consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
Richard Evanchec, Interim Special Agent in Charge of the Minneapolis Field Office of the FBI, said law enforcement agencies will continue targeting violent gangs.
“This case should send a message to other violent gangs that we’ll continue to 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,” Evanchec said.
Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara, and DEA Omaha Field Division Special Agent in Charge Dustin Gillespie also credited interagency cooperation for the operation.
The case is being investigated by the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Minneapolis Police Department and the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Raphael B. Coburn and William C. Mattessich are prosecuting the case.
An indictment and criminal complaint are allegations only. All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
