LAS VEGAS—Four Las Vegas gang members have pleaded guilty to charges related to drug trafficking in a West Las Vegas public housing complex.
U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden says 33-year-olds Fred Nix, Sebastian Wigg, Delvin Ward and 25-year-old Demichael Burks were among 10 accused Playboy Bloods members arrested last year.
Bogden says the four pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court and admitted gang involvement in racketeering acts including murder, attempted murder, robbery and drug trafficking.
Prosecutors blame the gang for killing 29-year-old apartment security guard Brian Wilcox in January 2004.
Bogden says Nix and Wigg each face up to five years in federal prison for drug conspiracy. Ward faces 10 years and Burks faces 5 1/2 years for racketeering conspiracy.
