Thirteen Chicago men are facing federal charges, accused of running an open-air drug market on the city's Northwest Side.
Federal prosecutors said the men sold cocaine, crack, heroin, and drugs laced with fentanyl at an open-air drug market near West Chicago and North Trumbull. All the men face drug charges, and a few are also charged with gun crimes.
Prosecutors allege a complex system of distributing fentanyl-laced heroin in their 106-page complaint. Prosecutors said that law enforcement Wednesday executed searches of multiple locations in the city and suburbs and seized approximately 10 firearms, two 50-round drum ammunition magazines, several extended ammunition magazines, more than a kilogram of cocaine, more than 250 grams of heroin containing fentanyl, and approximately nine vehicles allegedly used for drug trafficking.
