First and Kennedy Street Crew (S03E03): In the early ‘90s, Washington, D.C. police were losing the battle against street gangs who enforced their territories with lethal violence. The homicide rate in the nation’s capital climbed to the highest in the country. Local police turned to the FBI for help, but agents soon found themselves in the direct line of fire. In the fall of 1994, a gang member walked into police headquarters, killed two FBI agents and one detective, then turned the gun on himself. Authorities vowed to bring the entire gang to justice, but discovered that the leader had fled to Africa. Agents were uncertain if they could find the fugitive and bring him in.

The Killing Zone (S06E05): In 1991, the Safe Streets Task Force, a joint FBI / Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department organization, begins conducting an investigation into the violent activities of a local gang called the “K Street Crew.” Gang members are suspected of involvement in several area homicides. The FBI approaches several witnesses, hoping to convince them to testify against the gang members. Seven potential witnesses are murdered during the course of the investigation. In 1996, a witness who returns to the neighborhood to attend a party is killed just a week before she is to testify against the gang. The FBI must work diligently in order to build a homicide case against a gang that not only has the community so fearful that they remain silent, but also tracks down anyone who does help authorities and has them killed.

Forced Entry (S06E17): In 1994, a rash of home invasion robberies take place in the metropolitan Detroit area. The thieves turn out to be part of a local gang dubbed the “Home Invaders.” Their crimes extend to insurance fraud, theft, and illegal lottery schemes. The Violent Crimes Task Force (VCTF) opens an investigation, and with the cooperation of a gang member who was apprehended at the scene of a crime, they are able to obtain the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of 16 gang members. Information obtained through surveillances leads to a stakeout, resulting in captures and arrests. In December 1995, the FBI is able to indict 21 members of the Home Invaders gang through information from wiretaps, evidence seized from search warrants, DNA evidence and testimony of cooperating gang members. The VCTF successfully brings down the entire Home Invaders gang, and, as a result, clears over 200 violent crimes, including murder and rape in the Detroit area.
