In the first indictment in the state that alleges the presence of  a nationally recognized street gang, a 25-count indictment was unsealed, alleging 12 defendants of a local gang “engaged in drug trafficking, firearms possession, and Money Laundering,” the Justice Department reported. That local Fairview gang, “Fairview MOB,” is alleged to be affiliated with the Campanella Piru Park Bloods in Compton, California.

The following suspects were named in the 25-count indictment:

Isaiah Holloway a/k/a “Z,” 26, from Anchorage, Alaska; Lamont Moore, a/k/a “Moose,” 36, and Dearon Walton a/k/a “Mitch,” 25, both originally from Los Angeles; Ishmael Holloway a/k/a “Ish,” 23; Dorian Topps a/k/a “Fairview Money,” 22; Michael Reynold a/k/a “Boogie,” 23; Felton Reynold Jr. a/k/a “Fairview Jun,” 27; Christopher Meeks a/k/a “Thugga,” 22; Malia Green, 21; Delano Williams a/k/a “D,” 25; and Karl Maddox, Jr. a/k/a “P,” 25, all from Anchorage, Alaska.

According to the indictment, the Fairview MOB members received controlled substances that included heroin, crack, and cocaine from the Los Angeles, which they would then distribute in Anchorage and elsewhere in Alaska.

The Justice Department stated that “several of the members of the gang have been charged in Alaska State court with crimes including murders, assaults, and firearms possession and use.” They continued, saying, ” State and federal authorities have been coordinating their investigations of the defendants since January, when there were several shootings and murders in Anchorage.”[xyz-ihs snippet=”adsense-body-ad”]

The indictment reveals that the conspiracy goes back to at least 2012. It was then that “several conspirators were stopped by police and found to be in possession of firearms. The indictment alleges that various gang members were involved in 18 separate drug sales as well as numerous instances of illegal firearms possession and use. In one incident, alleged to have occurred on May 18, 2015, the indictment states that Isaiah Holloway and Lamont Moore possessed a firearm, which Moore used to shoot a rival gang member because the victim was in “Bloods” territory in the Fairview  neighborhood of Anchorage,” the Justice Department related.

The Anchorage Police Department responded to the uptick in violence and focused extra resources to open investigations that were later continued by the FBI Safe Streets Task Force that is made up of various agencies including the Coast Guard Investigative Services agents, the Internal Revenue, the Postal Service, and ATF. 

On Wednesday, the FBI task force, with its various agencies, along with the DEA Alaska State Troopers, and the U.S. Marshal’s Service, served several arrest and search warrants on six locations, seizing large amounts of cash, guns, drugs, and evidence of gang membership.

Ten of the 12 suspects were arrested and are currently in custody. The remaining two, Delano Williams, a/k/a “D,” of Anchorage, and Dearon Walton, a/k/a
“Mitch,” of Los Angeles have yet to be arrested.
