Prosecutors alleged members of a motorcycle club and street gang worked together to kill an Indiana judge to derail a domestic abuse case against one of their own.
An Indiana judge, Steven Meyer and his wife, Kimberly, were injured after they were attacked in their home.
Five people are facing charges that range from attempted murder to obstruction of justice.
They were identified by police as Raylen Ferguson, 38, Zenada Greer, 61, Thomas Moss, 43, Blake Smith, 32, and Amanda Milsap.
This was a severe attack on our judicial system. They didn’t just go after a man and a woman in their house. They went after him for a reason,” said Lt. Col. Al Williamson, Indiana State Police.
Prosecutors tied together gang involvement through 43-year-old Thomas Gregory Moss of Lafayette. Documents alleged Moss is a high-ranking gang member of Phantom MC, a Detroit-based motorcycle club with ties to the Cice Lords street gang.
In 2024, he was charged with beating his ex-girlfriend and firing agun in her home, according to court records. He was set to stand trial before Meyer.
Mislap was approached by the Vice Lords to not testify against Moss in exchange for monetary compensation in the case, but she refused.
Ferguson then traveled to the Meyers’ home when he opened fire through the door, according to court records.
