The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio has unsealed a second superseding indictment against 18 individuals linked to the Fully Blooded Felons (FBF), a Cleveland-based street gang. These defendants face charges including RICO conspiracy, murder, kidnapping, assault in aid of racketeering, firearms violations, and drug trafficking.
Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri commented on the indictment: “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.” She added that addressing violent crime remains one of the Criminal Division’s top priorities.
U.S. Attorney Rebecca Lutzko for the Northern District of Ohio emphasized efforts to reclaim community safety: “As the indictment alleges, the Fully Blooded Felons styled themselves after a Mafia crime family... The USAO will aggressively continue to pursue—through RICO prosecutions and other federal charges—violent criminals who seek to secure territory.”
FBI Cleveland Special Agent in Charge Greg Nelsen noted: “For several years, these individuals committed homicide [and] armed robberies... The Fully Blooded Felons... has been identified as Cleveland’s most significant gang threat.”
The investigation revealed FBF's hierarchical structure and rules enforced by Raven Mullins, known as "Godfather," who is charged with multiple crimes including murder in aid of racketeering. The gang's operations allegedly included drug trafficking from stash-houses where law enforcement seized fentanyl and firearms.
If convicted, sentences will be determined by various factors but will not exceed statutory maximums. This prosecution is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force initiative aimed at dismantling major criminal organizations threatening public safety.
The case was investigated by FBI Cleveland Division with support from local agencies and is prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Paul E. Hanna and Robert F. Corts along with Justice Department Trial Attorneys Brian W. Lynch and Alyssa Levey-Weinstein.
