Episode Details

San Diego authorities shattered the “Imperial Avenue Crack Market,” arresting 30 alleged gang members linked to a high-volume cocaine operation moving $550K worth of drugs weekly. The crew, tied to the West Coast Crips, allegedly fueled violence—including a January shooting that wounded two—and supplied dealers across neighborhoods like Logan Heights and downtown. With help from the FBI, cops seized 11 pounds of cocaine, $14K in cash, and two guns during raids. Among those arrested: a father, son, and uncle, plus Rynell Baker—a convicted murderer from 1994. All pleaded not guilty. Surveillance and wiretaps fueled the investigation, which locals hope marks a turning point—even as drug activity shifts to new spots.
