The Enterprise

At all times relevant to this Indictment:

1. "Band Crew," also known as "22 Band Crew" and "BC," was a street gang whose base of operation was primarily in northwest Detroit, Eastern District of Michigan, specifically the area in and around Seven Mile Road, with Southfield Freeway to the west, West McNichols Road to the south, Eight Mile Road to the north, and Greenfield Road to the east. Band Crew members claimed this area as their territory. Band Crew members wrote gang-related graffiti on buildings in their territory, including markings such as "#22 BandCrew," "BAND CREW," "22 BAND CREW," "YNCMH," and "PBF."

2. Band Crew was an association of existing smaller gangs that principally included members of Constantly Making Hundreds (CMH, formerly Cash Money Hoes), Young N Crispy (YNC), Pushit (or Pusha) Boy Family (PBF), and Family Over Everything Love is Forever (FOE Life). As an association of smaller gangs, Band Crew did not have a formal hierarchical structure apart from having leaders of each subgroup who were known as "CEOs" and "Co-CEOs." Band Crew members and associates also continued to identify themselves as members of these smaller gangs, including CMH, YNC, PBF, and FOE Life.

3. Band Crew members signified their affiliation with the gang through the use of tattoos, clothing, hand signs, statements made on social media, statements made to unaffiliated individuals, statements made to law enforcement, and photographing themselves with other Band Crew members and associates.

4. Band Crew members and associates used social networking websites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Keek, and YouTube to post photographs, videos, and statements that identified and highlighted the existence of the gang, a member's affiliation with the gang, and gang-related accomplishments.

5. Band Crew members and associates also communicated via cellular telephones and other mobile devices, using these instruments to plan their criminal activities, update each other about gang activity, boast about the gang, promote the gang, and disrespect rival gangs.

6. Band Crew often clashed with other gangs including, but not limited to: Related Through Money (RTM), Too Much Cash Never End (TMCNE), All Star Ball Hard (ASBH), True Savage Niggas (TSN), and The Take Over (TTO). Band Crew members and associates worked together against rival gangs to defend their territory, to promote and maintain the status and reputation of Band Crew, and to retaliate with acts and threats of violence for perceived wrongs.

7. Band Crew, including its leadership, membership, and associates, constituted an enterprise, as defined in Title 18, United States Code, Section 1961(4), that is, a group of individuals associated in fact, the activities of which affected interstate and foreign commerce. The enterprise constituted an ongoing organization whose members functioned as a continuing unit for a common purpose of achieving the objectives of the enterprise.
