NORFOLK, Va. (WVEC) -- Four men from Hampton Roads have been indicted for five murders, and four attempted murders that all occurred in December 2015.
The indicted men include:
- 38-year-old Antonio Simmons, also known as "Murdock" of Norfolk
- 25-year-old Anthony D. Foye, also known as "Bull" or "Ace" of Portsmouth
- 24-year-old Nathaniel T. Mitchell, also known as "Savage" of Portsmouth
- 28-year-old Alvaughn Davis, also known as "LB" of Portsmouth
All four have been charged in a 33-count indictment. The charges include racketeering, murder, attempted murder, assault, and distribution of narcotics, as well as others.
The four men were allegedly members of the Nine Trey Gangsters (NTG), according to the indictment. NTG is a gang affiliated with the United Blood Nation.
The string of murders and shooting all stemmed, partially, from a conflict between two local sets of the NTG, one of the sets was led by Simmons, and also included Foye, Mitchell, and Davis.
The indictment alleges that Foye and Mitchell were responsible for all ten shootings that occurred. It also alleges that Simmons participated in the planning of at least three of the shootings, and that Davis assisted Foye and Mitchell in a number of the shootings by acting as driver and helping dispose of at least one body.
When Foye and Mitchell were arrested, after an armed robbery of a Portsmouth Shell gas station, the shootings stopped. Evidence found during that robbery connected they men to the other crimes.
