The five men and Bloodbath, whose real name is Alexandra Elizabeth Nicks, are allegedly members of the 100% Third Ward Gang that operates in the Third Ward area of Houston, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas said in a news release.
A federal grand jury in Houston returned the indictment Thursday accusing the alleged gang members of being connected to the murder of Sam Johnson on Oct. 16, 2017, court records state. The fatal shooting occurred on London Street in the Third Ward. Watson, Christopher, Erskin and Harris allegedly opened fire on someone they believed to be a member of the rival gang, Young Scott Block.
On the Oct. 15 recorded jail call, Nicks allegedly told a 103 Gang member about her upcoming record deal and that she will pay the"youngins" to shoot, court documents state. “Gang violence impacts nearly every aspect of our communities, from the safety of our streets to the quality of life in our neighborhoods,” Assistant Director Luis M. Quesada of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division said in the release.
