Police say at least one person was killed outside the house, although they didn't identify the
victim.
The house was rented, neighbors said, by a Nicaraguan-born man whose first name was Misael.
Police said many of the gang members were Nicaraguan and Honduran.
The gang was making thousands of dollars in narcotics sales every week, much of it in crack
cocaine, Martinez said. He said gang members operated all over the city, although they were
based on Ninth Street.
Martinez said the street gang's operation was the largest ever broken up in Dade County.
``In 1991, there were 32 active street gangs in Miami, and now there are 13,'' he started to say.
``Scratch that. Make it 12, now that the Thugs are gone.''
