THE FEDERAL FILE THAT CHANGED BALTIMORE CASE FILE PREVIEW

For years, people across Baltimore remembered the name McKenzie Elliott because of how horrifying the shooting was. A 3-year-old child standing outside on a porch was suddenly caught in the middle of alleged gang gunfire connected to a neighborhood dispute inside the Waverly section of the city.

What most people never saw was the larger federal case investigators were allegedly building behind the scenes.

According to prosecutors, the Old York Money Gang, also known as OYMG, controlled parts of Waverly Way through narcotics “shops,” territorial enforcement, intimidation, and retaliatory violence tied to the neighborhood’s drug economy. Federal authorities eventually alleged the organization operated as a structured criminal enterprise connected to shootings, firearms, narcotics trafficking, and the deadly chain of events that led to McKenzie Elliott’s killing.

Inside this full case file, we break down the alleged Waverly Way drug territory, the federal indictment, the neighborhood “shop” system, the shooting reconstruction, the defendants named throughout the case, and the federal theory prosecutors used to connect the organization into a larger RICO-style conspiracy.
