Smokecamp Chino, a member of Chief Keef’s Detroit camp, is facing serious charges after he was indicted on RICO charges this week. Chino, a member of the Smokecamp gang, is one of 13 people charged in the federal indictment, Fox 2 Detroit reports.
Chino, whose real name is Jerray Key, and his crew were charged with many criminal charges that include running a violent drug trafficking ring that sold c——, crack c——, h—–, ecstasy, weed and prescription pills, according to racketeering indictment unsealed Wednesday.
Police say the Smokecamp Gang operates in the area of Albion St. and Seven Mile on the City’s East Side, WXYZ Detroit reports. The crew calls this area “ABlock.”
The crew is also accused of traveling and selling narcotics in Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio, ClickOnDetroit.com reports.

The charges were reportedly made possible under the Detroit One Initiative, which is a collaborative effort between law enforcement and the community.
