30 Boyz- Neighborhood Rap to Murder

Thursday May 29, 2025 3:00pm - 4:30pm EDT

This workshop is an in-depth case study of the 30 Boyz Gang. This neighborhood-based street gang started its own rap label, which ultimately contributed to multiple shootings and murders. Attendees will hear about the alliances of the 30 Boyz Street Gang, its use of social media, and how the activities of their rap label resulted in several homicides. Lessons learned in building a successful prosecution, utilization of jail calls, and joint jurisdiction investigations will be discussed.
