Detroit gang members are terrorizing two West Virginia communities with violence and drugs.
More than 350 miles from home, Detroiters are selling pills, heroin, cocaine and marijuana at an alarming rate in Charleston and Huntington.
On Wednesday in Charleston, four Detroiters are in jail following two separate shootings in which one teenager was killed and a bystander was wounded.

Drug dealers from Detroit have set up shop in West Virginia for more than a decade. But authorities have reported a disturbing uptick of violence in recent months as members of the Seven Mile Bloods, Cash Out Crips and Hustle Boys bring drugs to two communities with a seemingly insatiable demand for heroin and painkillers.
“Their job is to go to whatever town or city they’re dispatched to and just sell drugs,” Lt. Cooper told WSAZ.
West Virginia has enlisted the help of the FBI, which has led to stiff sentences in federal prison for drug dealers from Detroit.
