BALTIMORE, Md. (WBFF) -- On Tuesday, the Baltimore Police Department announced the recent indictment of the drug trafficking organization, known as "Showtime". 

The organization operated in the rear alley of 2400 Brentwood & Greenmount Avenues in East Baltimore. The targeted enforcement imitative resulted in criminal charges for 10 of the “Showtime” members and levied charges for multiple drug offenses and handgun related crimes.

According to the indictment, the drug trafficking organization, led by Avon Winchester and David Harrison, includes Nathan Hickson, Ronnie Hall, Thelonius Monk, Martray McNair, Dequan King, Antwan Hopkins, T'Shon Butler and John Hancock. 

Police say the suspects were distributing quantities of fentanyl, cocaine and other controlled dangerous substances (CDS) in and around the area of the 2400 block of Brentwood Avenue.

The investigation resulted in the sale of nearly 2,000 suspected fentanyl gel caps, dozens of vials of cocaine, and an unregistered handgun to undercover investigators by the "Showtime" members.

“The Baltimore Police Department continues to focus on targeted enforcement of those involved in illegal drug distribution and other illegal activities in our city. This case is a great example of law enforcement partners working collaboratively to help make Baltimore a safer city,” said BPD Commissioner Michael Harrison. “Drug trafficking not only fuels violence in our city, but further victimizes the vulnerable demographic of substance abusers, who have lost their lives at an alarming rate due to overdoses.”
