UTA kicked off CRCJ Week this morning with a presentation by the Arlington Police Department on the multi-year investigation of the Kiccdoe street gang responsible for at least 180 crimes recorded since January 2022.

Kiccdoe, originating on the east side of Arlington, drew FBI involvement after a gang member was shot and killed on the campus of an Arlington high school in April 2024.

A joint operation in which law enforcement officers executed search warrants in Arlington, Dallas, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Mansfield, and Forney led to the arrest and conviction of 21 members of the gang, in part because of the gang’s active Instagram postings.
