number 3284510815A5 seized from Desmond Crawford on November 25 2015 currently in the custody and control of the FBI Target Telephone 2 I 5 Basis of Probable Cause The basis of my belief that probable cause exists justifying this search warrant is as follows The Columbia Point Dawgs 6 The Boston Police Department BPD Special Investigations Unit and the Federal Bureau of Investigation initiated an investigation in October 2012 concerning the criminal enterprise known as the Columbia Point Street Gang or the Columbia Point Dawgs CPD The CPD was established in the late 1980's and their original members resided primarily in the former Columbia Point section of Dorchester Massachusetts However over the years the gang expanded its reach and operations to various other areas throughout Boston and Massachusetts Members and associates of the CPD were responsible for violent crimes drug trafficking and prostitution The investigation began after a cooperating witness identified Tony BERRY and Demetrius and Yancey WILLIAMS as large scale distributors of drugs in the Boston Metropolitan area Additionally a cooperating witness working with the FBI CW- 1 1 reported that the BERRY and WILLIAMS brothers constituted the leadership of the current 1 CW-1 began cooperating with law enforcement in November 20 I 2 and was closed for cause in September 2013 CW-1 has admitted to being complicit in a scheme to steal official agency funds from the government in connection with a controlled gun purchase The attempted purchase took place on July 25 20 I 3 and CW- I made these admissions shortly thereafter in August 2013 CW-I was closed as a source and ceased cooperation as a result CW-I was 2 Case 1 16-mj-02006-MBB Document 4-1 Filed 02 01 16 Page 3 of 14 CPD Further investigation revealed that Tony BERRY's brother Willie BERRY was also a leader within this criminal enterprise 7 Over the course of our investigation we obtained heroin cocaine and cocaine base from several members and leaders of CPD through controlled purchases with cooperating witnesses For example on multiple occasions in early 2013 Demetrius WILLIAMS sold cocaine base and cocaine in controlled purchases Similarly in 20I3 and 20I4 David JONES a CPD member was involved several controlled purchases of cocaine base and heroin Kareem BERRY a CPD member and brother to Willie and Tony BERRY was involved in several controlled purchases of heroin In addition during the course of our investigation we intercepted telephone calls per court order in which numerous members of the CPD conspired to distribute and distributed heroin cocaine and cocaine base Both Willie BERRY and Demetrius WILLIAMS were intercepted trafficking significant amounts of controlled substances including heroin and cocaine We also seized numerous loaded firearms from members associates of the CPD In June 2015 48 leaders members and associates of the CPD were charged in five separate indictments in this District for trafficking controlled substances overheard over court-authorized wiretap communications engaged in drug conversation with D Williams CW- I has a criminal history that includes arrests but no convictions for operating a motor vehicle negligently leaving a scene of an accident use of vehicle without authority assault with a dangerous weapon abuse prevention act intimidation trafficking a controlled substance possession to distribute a class D controlled substance trespassing and firearm identification card violation CW- I has arrests and convictions for conspiracy to violate the controlled substances act possession to distribute a class B controlled substance and assault with a dangerous weapon The information that CW-1 provided was corroborated by the controlled drug purchases conducted by CW-I prior to July 2013 Additionally CW-1 's information has been corroborated by other confidential informants and the investigation generally I consider the information provided by CW- I to be reliable CW-1 has received consideration in the form of financial assistance in connection with his her cooperation in this case I have not found that CW-1 's recent interceptions discredit any of the intelligence given to investigators or the controlled buys that were conducted as most of them were both audio and video recorded 3 Case 1 16-mj-02006-MBB Document 4-1 Filed 02 01 16 Page 4 of 14 including heroin cocaine cocaine base and oxycodone and firearm offenses The individuals charged include Willie BERRY Tony BERRY 2 and Demetrius WILLIAMS 8 3 In addition to drug trafficking members and associates of the CPD have engaged in various acts of violence including shootings as a means of 1 establishing and controlling areas where the gang can distribute controlled substances by intimidating eliminating rival gangs and or drug trafficking organizations and 2 intimidating potential witnesses to the gang's ilJegal activities including its drug trafficking and violent crimes Members and associates of the gang are expected to engage in violence to support the CPD and can increase their position in the CPD by committing violence on behalf of the gang In this regard members associates of the CPD have assaulted and or shot rival gang members associates on numerous occasions since the inception of the gang in August 2014 through January 2015 The gang's reliance on violence to intimidate rivals and potential witnesses has been publicly confirmed by gang members and gang leaders in videos which have been publicly posted on the internet I have reviewed a number of these videos In these videos CPD members and leaders such as Tony BERRY Vandell WOODS the half-brother of Tony and Willie BERRY 4 and Antonio CHATMAN have openly touted the gang's use of violence particularly shootings have openly referenced at least one shooting allegedly committed by CPD members associates and have sought to intimidate potential witnesses 2 Criminal case number 15-10146-FDS 3 Criminal case number 15-10145-RGS 4 WOODS who was not charged in the pending indictments in this District involving the CPD is presently serving a 5-year sentence in New York based on a shooting he committed at a New York City nightclub WOODS shot two of the club's security officers after he was ejected from the club 4 In Case 1 16-mj-02006-MBB Document 4-1 Filed 02 01 16 Page 5 of 14 these videos CPD members associates expressly recognize the Point as an organization committed to violence and drug trafficking and have sought to publicly intimidate rival gangs such as the Orchard Park street gang through these videos and threats of violence against rivals 9 During our investigation of the CPD we intercepted calls between CPD members associates in which they discussed the use of violence to further the gang's goals For example we intercepted a call between Demetrius WILLIAMS and Aaron BLOUDSON a CPD member in which WILLIAMS indicated that he believed that rival Orchard Park gang members would be at a state courthouse at a certain time and sought to have BLOUDSON and others attack the rival gang members 5 In December 2014 we intercepted several calls between Demetrius WILLIAMS and a member of the CPD-aligned Saint Joseph Street gang During these calls Demetrius WILLIAMS bragged about encountering and assaulting John Doe while attending the arraignment of his brother Yancy WILLIAMS inside the Boston Municipal Courthouse During subsequent intercepted calls that day Demetrius Williams Yancey Williams and Yancey Calhoun discussed obtaining loaded firearms so that they could further assault John Doe 6 Finally on December 11 2014 we intercepted a call between Demetrius WILLIAMS and John Freeman-Clements a CPD associate Freeman informed Demetrius WILLIAMS that a friend of his was en route via train from Virginia subsequently identified as Morgan Jefferson to Boston with a loaded semi-automatic firearm for sale and asked if Demetrius WILLIAMS wanted to purchase the firearm agreed to purchase the firearm 5 Demetrius WILLIAMS Demetrius WILLIAMS and John Freeman-Clement Based on this information steps were taken by BPD to prevent the attack which did not occur 6 Based on this information BPD took steps to warn John Doe and his family and to prevent any such assault 5 Case 1 16-mj-02006-MBB Document 4-1 Filed 02 01 16 Page 6 of 14 subsequently discussed having Jefferson commit violent acts against rival gang members Investigators subsequently arrested Morgan Jefferson at South Station Train Station with a loaded semi-automatic firearm The Shooting of John Doe on March 27 2015 10 One of the rival street gangs with whom the CPD engaged in a violent feud was the Greenwood street gang This gang operates primarily out of the area of Greenwood Street in Dorchester Massachusetts I am aware that beginning in 2014 members associates of the CPD and Greenwood street gang were involved in a number of violent confrontations including shootings For example in June 2014 the two gangs engaged in a number of shootings which resulted in several people being wounded 11 John Doe has been identified by the BPD and in our investigation as a leader in the Greenwood street gang during the time of the violence between the two gangs 7 In November 2014 Vandell WOODS and other CPD members associates encountered John Doe at a shopping mall in downtown Boston John Doe was physically attacked by WOODS and the other CPD members associates and beaten in front of several bystanders battery of John Doe was recorded on mall security cameras The assault and During our investigation on December 26 2014 Demetrius WILLLIAMS was shot numerous times at 128 South Street in Jamaica Plain Massachusetts Following the shooting we intercepted calls in which Demetrius WILLIAMS stated that he believed that the person who had shot WILLIAMS was John Doe Demetrius WILLIAMS was also intercepted seeking to obtain a firearm so that he could retaliate against John Doe Demetrius WILLIAMS was unable to do so as he was arrested shortly thereafter on a federal firearm charge 7 I know the identity of John Doe and am intentionally excluding it from this affidavit 6 Case 1 16-mj-02006-MBB Document 4-1 Filed 02 01 16 Page 7 of 14 12 On March 27 2015 at approximately 2 42 p m BPD responded to a report of shots fired at Terrace Street and New Cedar Street in Roxbury Massachusetts BPD officers subsequently identified that John Doe had been shot and wounded after he checked into a local A witness at the scene of the shooting stated hospital for treatment for the gunshot wound that he sh observed a blue pickup-style truck operating at a high rate of speed turn onto Terrace Street from Cedar Street and then the witness heard several gunshots Another witness heard gunshots and then observed a male subject hanging his upper body outside the driver's side window of a Blue Toyota Tundra pickup and shooting a black handgun as the truck was driving down Terrace Street The BPD recovered numerous pieces of evidence from the shooting scene including ballistic evidence Ten 40 caliber shell casings were recovered at the shooting scene 13 Shortly after BPD officers broadcast the description of the suspect vehicle a Massachusetts State Police MSP trooper observed a blue Toyota Tundra with Massachusetts plate R99120 travelling on the Riverway in the direction of Brookline Avenue Boylston Street in Boston The MSP trooper observed two or possibly three black males in the vehicle and attempted to stop the vehicle to conduct an inquiry The vehicle refused to stop and fled from the MSP The vehicle was able to avoid being stopped and was last seen in the area of Forsyth Street in Boston 14 At approximately 3 03 p m BPD received a 911 call from a witness who stated that he she had observed a blue pickup truck travelling at a high rate of speed in the area where the MSP had been chasing the suspect vehicle The witness informed responding officers that as the pickup passed the witness he she heard a sound consistent with an item hitting concrete The witness also observed that the driver's side window was being rolled up as the vehicle 7 Case 1 16-mj-02006-MBB Document 4-1 Filed 02 01 16 Page 8 of 14 continued The witness stated that he she investigated and found a pistol in the area where he she had heard the item hit the concrete With the aid of the witness BPD officers recovered a black Glock Model 22 40 caliber semi-automatic handgun bearing serial number KMK434 The recovered shell casings from Terrace Street were subsequently matched to the recovered 40 caliber Glock pistol 15 The blue Tundra pickup truck was located that day by BPD officers at Newcomb Street and Reed Street A security camera in the area captured a single black male exiting the vehicle and leaving the area The Tundra was registered to a business identified as Sittin Pretty LLC Based on the investigation this business is associated with Desmond CRAWFORD a k a Dez In addition BPD officers executed a search warrant for the Tundra and recovered documents identifying Desmond CRAWFORD including legal and tax documents with CRAWFORD's name on them and listing him as the sole owner of Sittin Pretty LLC CRAWFORD's mother Sandra Ray reported the vehicle stolen days later 16 CRAWFORD has been identified by BPD as a CPD member through a variety of sources including field reports photographs and his own statements 17 On April l 2015 five days after the shooting of John Doe we intercepted a call between David COKE an associate and drug source for the CPD and CRAWFORD In the intercepted call COKE and CRAWFORD discussed the recent shooting of John Doe COKE asked CRAWFORD if CRAWFORD had checked his status - i e whether CRAWFORD had checked to see if an arrest warrant had been issued for him CRAWFORD said he had not CRAWFORD told COKE that Nobody come knocking yet COKE replied Okay but so you should be gravy COKE told CRAWFORD that various people were taking credit for the shooting CRAWFORD replied Yeah they can let them have it I don't care 8 Case 1 16-mj-02006-MBB Document 4-1 Filed 02 01 16 Page 10 of 14 commit the drive-by shooting COKE tried to reassure CRAWFORD that he would not be arrested as the police did not have enough evidence to charge CRAWFORD In this regard COKE stated that the police would not bring a weak case against CRAWFORD and that CRAWFORD's case would be weak as long as the victim John Doe did not cooperate with law enforcement against CRAWFORD COKE further stated that John Doe would not cooperate with the police 21 On Tuesday November 24 2015 Hon Marianne B Bowler US Magistrate Judge issued a criminal complaint charging Desmond CRAWFORD with charging him with I 18 U S C 1959 a 3 and 2 using or carrying a firearm in violation of 18 U S C 924 c l A 15-2273-MBB Later that day members of the Special Investigations Unit and Federal Bureau of Investigation learned that on November 19 2015 Desmond CRAWFORD rented a 2014 Toyota Corolla bearing Massachusetts Registration Number 2EPJ20 black in color from Enterprise Rental Car located at 277 Willard Street in Quincy Massachusetts with a return date ofNovember 25 2015 22 At approximately 1 45 p m on Wednesday November 25 2015 members of the Special Investigations Unit observed Desmond CRAWFORD enter the driver seat of the above described motor vehicle on North Main Street in Randolph With the assistance of marked police units of the Randolph Police Department Desmond Crawford's motor vehicle was stopped on Old Street at the intersection of Canton Street in Randolph MA Desmond Crawford was removed from the motor vehicle and placed under arrest on criminal complaint 15-2273-MBB During a search incident to his arrest Desmond CRAWFORD was found to be in possession of a large sum of US currency that was bundled with a rubber band and Target Telephone 1 and Target Telephone 2 10 Case 1 16-mj-02006-MBB Document 4-1 Filed 02 01 16 Page 9 of 14 I 8 The conversation continued and CA WFORD told COKE Fuck dog I'm trying to do something tonight COKE replied I know thats thats how I play I'm going fucking check this thing right I'm been just sitting here just fucking working I just gave this kid some last night so he said check him in the morning So I didn't even check with him in the morning so I'm going to call right now so I leave here I believe based on my training experience and knowledge of the investigation that during this portion of the conversation CRAWFORD told COKE that he was trying to get a drug supply I further believe that COKE explained to CRAWFORD that he was checking on a drug supply that he was going to get from his supplier 19 CO KE then said So I'll go fucking over there or fucking um call you as soon get up with him Unless he's over there by fucking Mr Brown eating spot Flames CRAWFORD replied I ain't going over there I ain't going COKE responded I I I know you ain't going over I'm just saying me I'm talking about me you know me me I got I got around there because they will check I believe that during this portion of the conversation COKE then explained to CRAWFORD that he would meet the supplier near the Flames restaurant and CRAWFORD said that he wasn't going to go to that location COKE clarified that he COKE would be meeting the supplier COKE then continued explaining that CRAWFORD should be in the clear for the John Doe shooting and the call ended shortly thereafter 20 On April 6 20 I 5 we intercepted another call between COKE and CRAWFORD The two again discussed the shooting of John Doe During their discussion CRAWFORD stated that he was trying to avoid getting involved in problems and that he was angry at himself for 'jumping out the window - which based on my training and experience and the investigation to date I understand as a reference to the shooting As previously noted a witness identified that the shooter had hung out of the driver's side window in order to 9 Case 1 16-mj-02006-MBB Document 4-1 Filed 02 01 16 Page 11 of 14 23 Investigators then conducted a visual interior inspection of the 2014 Toyota Corolla which was parked on a public way and observed that area around the gear shift was altered and loose Based on my experience knowledge and training in weapons and contraband hidden concealed in motor vehicle I believed the area of the gear shift that had been altered and loosen may contain such I have recovered and seized several illegal firearms drugs and drug proceeds concealed in altered locations of motor vehicles 24 Additionally investigators know of at least two illegal firearms that have been recovered from motor vehicles that have been in the care and control of Desmond CRAWFORD within the past eight 8 months The most recent firearm was Sig Sauer 9mm semi-automatic loaded firearm recovered from the altered gear shift area of a motor vehicle rented from Hertz by Desmond CRAWFORD in August 2015 25 A search warrant executed on November 27 2015 on the vehicle being operated by CRAWFORD revealed 45 caliber Glock handgun serial number YVTI 94 loaded with a magazine containing nine rounds of ammunition from underneath the gear cup-holder housing between the driver and passenger seats 26 Based upon my training and experience conducting investigations of drug trafficking organizations I know that there are common practices employed by drug traffickers in the course of their illicit business Specifically drug traffickers commonly keep mobile telephones to be used to contact and receive correspondence from drug sources of supply gun sources of supply co-conspirators and associates and drug customers In the course of conducting their business drug traffickers are required to conduct these communications with the aforementioned subjects on multiple occasions on a daily basis The correspondence that drug traffickers are required to maintain on their mobile telephone results in substantial evidence 11 Case 1 16-mj-02006-MBB Document 4-1 Filed 02 01 16 Page 12 of 14 of drug trafficking activity being maintained in their telephone as it pertains to date time and duration of illegal drug trafficking or gun trafficking related communications Moreover telephone numbers and corresponding identities are often stored in drug trafficker's mobile telephones to facilitate these routine communications Lastly I know that drug traffickers often utilize the text messaging feature of their mobile telephone to conduct drug and gun trafficking related communications with the parties described above These messages often denote locations dates and times of prearranged meetings between these parties drug types amounts gun descriptions and prices agreed upon These text based conversations result in records stored within the mobile phone which evidence details of the mobile phone owner's drug trafficking activities Based upon the previously described wire interceptions conducted on Coke's phones I also know that Crawford has used his personal communication device to discuss details related to the shooting of a rival gang member CONCLUSION 27 Based on the information set forth above I believe that probable cause exists to believe that Target Telephone I and Target Telephone 2 will contain evidence of violations of racketeering laws such as 18 U S C 1963 and 1959 Racketerring and Violent Crimes in Aid of Racketeering and 21 U S C 84l a l and 846 Distribution of Crontrolled Substances and Conspiracy to Distribute Controlled Substances Specifically I believe Target Telephone I and Target Telephone 2 will contain a the telephone numbers of co-conspirators participating as associates and or customers with Desmond CRAWFORD and others 12 Case 1 16-mj-02006-MBB Document 4-1 Filed 02 01 16 Page 13 of 14 b the names nicknames or aliases of co-conspirators participating as associates and or customers with Desmond CRAWFORD and others c racketeering related information by text message d and images used for the purpose of furthering the goals of the CPD 28 I seek authorization for the search of the Target Telephone I and Target Telephone 2 for the following subscriber information call logs call details with the cell site information text messages including iMessages Target Telephone I SMS MMS and other forms of electronic messaging with content chat logs photographs internet history digital files data and any other evidence related to the possession control or use of the phone as well as the trafficking of controlled substances and in furtherance of racketeering related activities of CPD 29 I also seek authorization for a search of all directories sub-directories and electronic files including metadata and attributes including dates and times the files directories or sub-directories that may have been created altered modified deleted or accessed of Target Telephone I and Target Telephone 2 30 I also seek authorization for an ORDER requiring Apple Inc Apple to assist in the execution of the search warrant by bypassing the lock screen of the iOS device Target Telephone 1 and providing technical assistance consisting of to the extent possible extracting data from the Device copying the data from the Device onto an external hard drive or other storage medium and returning the aforementioned storage medium to law enforcement and or providing the FBI with the suspect Personal Identification Number P l N or Personal Unlock Code P U K so that access can be gained to Target

appropriate circumstances to persons who though not parties to the original action or engaged in wrongdoing are in a position to frustrate the implementation of a court order or the proper administration of justice and encompasses even those who have not taken any affirmative action to hinder justice United States v New York Tel Co 434 U S 159 174 1977 Specifically in United States v New York Tel Co the Supreme Court held that the All Writs Act permitted district courts to order a telephone company to effectuate a search warrant by installing a pen register Under the reasoning of
