LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Ten members of a dangerous gang in Louisville are headed to prison for their roles in a large drug ring.
Prosecutors have called the members of the "Everybody Shine Together" gang some of the city's most hardened criminals. On Friday, the feds announced Eric Mosley will spend 20 years in prison. He was one of the 10 arrested in 2021 for drug distribution and possession charges.Â
The punishment from the other nine varies from between six months and 15 years in prison.Â
EST, as the gang is often called, was also tied to two shootings earlier this year. Devontae Beach, the manager for a local rapper named EST Gee, was killed after a concert at the KFC Yum! Center.Â
A month later, Michael Bachelor Jr. died in a shooting that created chaos on Baxter Avenue in the Highlands. He was also a rapper, known as EST Lu Mike.
