Sheriff: Nearly a dozen gang members tied to multiple shootings arrested in Baton Rouge drug bust, 1 at-large
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Nearly one dozen people allegedly tied to a gang in Baton Rouge have been arrested after a multi-agency investigation that spanned two months. The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office (EBRSO) says during April and May 2025, its Gang Intelligence and Enforcement Unit started an extensive investigation into a criminal street gang known as the 'Vultures.' According to EBRSO, members of the 'Vultures' are suspected of being responsible for numerous shootings in and around the Baton Rouge area. Coroner identifies man killed in Baton Rouge shooting Agents identified several members and several associates of the group, collecting hundreds of hours of surveillance on the gang. Authorities then determined that the gang was involved in a large-scale marijuana distribution operation. While under investigation, members of the gang were involved in a police chase in Texas. During the chase, the sheriff's office says the gang members threw a pistol that had a machine gun conversion device, called a 'switch,' out of the window. Other gang members were able to retrieve the gun but were stopped and arrested once they arrived back in Baton Rouge. Four members were arrested in connection with the incident and later released on bond. Deputies identified 11 residences that the gang used to facilitate their marijuana trafficking operation. Agents secured search warrants for the locations, as well as several banks used by the gang to hide their money. On June 2, 2025, with help from multiple divisions and agencies, agents executed warrants at the following locations: 3rd Street Hammond Manor Drive Apartment Court Joor Road 68th Avenue Stoneview Avenue 73rd Avenue (P&P Compliance Check) Pasadena Drive (P&P Compliance Check) Grand Settlement Boulevard Lockhaven Avenue La Margie Avenue In addition, Louisiana Probation and Parole performed compliance checks at two gang member residences.
