NOPD's gang taskforce Unit have been tracking the gang since the early 2000's. In December 2004 former Capt. Louis Dabdoub was shot by a local member patrolling a two block radius around DeGaulle Manor. The shooting serged a full investigation on the gang and the apartments in which they solicited drugs out of. NOPD also tied the gang to a string of murders that happened in 2003 and a dozen of taxi cab robberies and murders on Sandra Drive between 1998 and 2013.
