12 Members of Minneapolis Gang Allegedly Involved in "Open-Air Drug Market" Charged
- On Wednesday, February 25, 2026, FBI Minneapolis and partners executed 14 search warrants and charged 12 suspects, with all expected in custody by day's end.
- The Family Mob gang, based in south Minneapolis, has long been accused of running a de-facto open-air drug market on Lake Street and Park Avenue and linked to shootings, including two mass shootings last year.
- Authorities reported major seizures, including 6.5 kg of fentanyl, 14 firearms, and nearly $100,000 in cash, with over 7 kg of fentanyl distributed in the last seven months.
- Rafael Mattei said the arrests aim to disrupt the Family Mob gang's control of the open‑air drug market and reduce violence.
- Despite recent departures, the U.S. Attorney's Office said it will prosecute these cases, as the investigation expanded and culminated in the coordinated operation, with Rosen confident in staffing.
