In what reads like a declaration of war against the Native Mob, several Duluth buildings -- including a church shed -- were tagged with gang signs this weekend, most prominently the symbol of the Gangster Disciples.

Among the tags: "War on Native Mob," "Shoot 2 Kill," and "Gangster Diciple [sic] Here to Stay."

Jeremee Kraskey was going to talk to the feds. He had already given them information.
That, at least, was the belief of his fellow Native Mob gang members on February 26, 2011 -- the day Kraskey was shut up for good, according to new charges leveled in the federal case against the Native American gang.
In addition to his six original charges, Shawn Michael Martinez, a.k.a. "Tinez," now faces four more in relation to the death of Kraskey, who the feds say never actually gave anything to law enforcement. Martinez is one of the few alleged gang members named in the indictment who hasn't taken a plea deal in recent months.
After Martinez shot and killed Kraskey, several of the gang members held an "emergency meeting" to discuss his death, according to the superseding indictment, filed last week. Other than Martinez, Wakinyon McArthur and Christopher Lee Wuori were also present.

Eight more alleged Native Mob gang members named in a federal indictment have pleaded guilty to considerably lesser charges, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. 
Six of the original 24 remain.
The feds unsealed the indictment in January, the product of a federally orchestrated, statewide crackdown on the violent Native American gang. The indictment included 24 defendants, with charges ranging from drug dealing to attempted murder.
As of today, 17 have taken plea deals, all but one admitting to a single count of RICO conspiracy, a charge that allows for extended penalties for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.

| Twenty-four alleged members of the Native Mob were named in an indictment unsealed earlier this year. |
William Dallas Chaboyea, a 35-year-old Bloomington man, pleaded guilty Monday to the 1996 murder of a Native Gangster Disciple.
William Chaboyea shot a member of the Native Gangster Disciples more than 15 years ago.
Chaboyea was part of the Native Mob, a rival gang with a reputation for carrying big guns and not hesitating to use them. This is the exact scenario that played out in a Minneapolis alley more than 15 years ago, prosecutors say, and Chaboyea will likely face a 20-year sentence for the intentional second-degree murder charge.
