The Department said that an investigation by the FBI and Bridgeport Police into gang member 30-year-old Kimani Graham of Bridgeport and his associates, including 31-year-old Akeen Trotter (also known as "Ock" and "A.K."), also of Bridgeport, had been ongoing since May of 2017, and concluded with the issuance of a warrant to search both parties' residences.

Searches of Trotter's home at 100 Aldine Avenue and Graham's at 155 Anson Street were carried out by the FBI; the Bridgeport Safe Streets Task Force (BSSTF); members of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and the Bridgeport Narcotics division on Tuesday, Oct. 6.

Both parties, said police, face federal charges and were charged at the time with narcotics violations and sent to jail in lieu of $500,000 pending a future court date.
