SEASON ONE CASE FILE YSL/30 DEEP GANG

VS. INGLEWOOD FAMILY BLOODS

In season One, we investigate an operation conducted by the Atlanta Gang Unit, United States Marshalls, the ATF, and DEA. In January of 2015, a gang war broke out between two rival gangs, the YSL /30 Deep Gang vs. The Family Bloods (IF Gang/92). This war started as a war inside the Hip-Hop music business between Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, and Baby from Cash Money. It wasn’t regulated to just music as it spilled over into the streets and murder.

Mr. Kenneth “Woody Copeland and Mr. Kelvin “Shell Kell Watts were the main gang members fueling the beef with shooting incidents at nightclubs inside the Atlanta Metro Area. At this time, the APD and Tyrone Dennis started to investigate the case after a high-profile shooting at Club Crucial.

In January of 2015, Donovan “Peanut” Thomas was shot and killed in a drive by shooting. At the time, Peanut was one of the highest-ranking Blood Gang members inside Atlanta and a leader of the Inglewood Family Bloods (IF/92 Set.) This death set off a gang war inside Atlanta. With Peanut’s death, rumors on the street were that another artist and his crew could be responsible, and that was Jeffrey Williams or Hip-Hop superstar Young Thug. The APD Gang Unit started a far-reaching homicide and gang investigation into the Inglewood Family Bloods and their rivals YSL/30 Deep. After the homicide, APD also had to investigate 8 different drive-by shootings, as the Inglewood Family Bloods started to target Young Thug and his YSL/30 Deep crew. The violent back and forth caused major headlines in the news.

As APD started the case, three more murders transpired between the Inglewood Family Bloods and YSL. This case went from one homicide to four and close to ten drive-by shootings.

The end result is that APD Gang Unit and Tyrone Dennis spent close to 4 years on this case that got to the heart of Atlanta’s largest Blood set. It is a case that goes to the core of how the Atlanta streets work related to the trafficking of drugs, guns, and the currency of having a young Hip-Hop star affiliated with your crew. It is a story that takes you behind the curtains of Atlanta’s hottest nightclubs, strip clubs, dangerous neighborhoods, and it defines for the first time the legendary street figures that control not only swaths of territory but the power that comes with money and a feared reputation.

Season One is based on Operation Planters, a case file and name given by the APD Gang Unit, ATF, and US Marshalls. It is an operation that included close to 50 Gang members and their affiliates and reams of intelligence files collected from social media and career criminal informants. Season 1 will also show the massive amount of gang intelligence gathered on firearms, social media connections, and the Atlanta gang hierarchy.
