WASHTON, D.C. – Thirty-five members and associates of the Nine Trey Gangsters set of the United Blood Nation (UBN) street gang, including a “Godfather” as well as other high-ranking leaders of the organization, have pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy and related charges in North Carolina, including drug trafficking, wire fraud, firearm possession, and the use of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence and drug trafficking.
Omari Rosero, a 41-year-old resident of Elmira, New York, pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy. According to the factual basis of Rosero’s plea agreement, the Nine Trey Gangsters’ leadership proceeds in rank, from lowest to highest, from “Scrap,” “1-Star General” through “5-Star General,” “Low,” “High,” and, “Godfather.” During his plea, Omari Rosero admitted to holding the leadership rank of “High,” and to serving as an acting “Godfather” of the entire UBN gang.
Rosero conducted gang business and participated in the distribution of gang dues while incarcerated in the New York State Department of Corrections. Porsha Talina Rosero, a 35-year-old resident of Syracuse, New York, pleaded guilty today to racketeering conspiracy. Rosero, who has a tattoo of “Mrs. Uno B” on her chest, referring to Omari Rosero, maintained a Facebook account through which private messages were sent from Omari Rosero to other Bloods leaders.
The pleas announced today are part of an extensive investigation by a broad array of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies—including the Criminal Division’s Organized Crime and Gang Section—whose goal has been to disrupt and dismantle the Nine Trey Gangsters, a dangerous set of the United Blood Nation street gang.
“The assaults, the robberies, the drug deals, each and every crime committed by these ruthless gang members was a blow to the safety of our communities,” said Special Agent in Charge John Strong of the FBI Charlotte, North Carolina Field Division. “The guilty pleas by these suspects are the next step in securing justice for every innocent person who was impacted by the violent actions of this gang’s members.”
The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of North Carolina and the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, Organized Crime and Gang Section. The investigation was led by the FBI Charlotte, North Carolina Field Division.
