Five gang members charged with conspiracy; four were arrested, one is still wanted by the BRPD

BATON ROUGE – Five members of a Baton Rouge-based gang are accused of conspiracy to commit murder and intimidation of a witness, Baton Rouge police said.

Four of the men were arrested.

On Wednesday, 26-year-old Lance White was arrested after a raid on a Pampas Street apartment in which officers and U.S. marshals found $410 in cash, 313 grams of marijuana, 9.5 doses of Adderall and two guns. White faces multiple charges, including possession of a weapon with the intent to distribute, possession of a firearm and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and intimidation of a witness.

Three of the accused gang members – Khalil Henderson, 20, Dedric White, 30, and David Hastings, 21 – were already in custody for previous drug and violent crime arrests by BRPD officers. They are also charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and conspiring to intimidate a witness.

Another man, Michael Veal, 19, is still wanted on the same conspiracy charges.

BRPD said they obtained arrest warrants on Sept. 9 for Lance White, Henderson, Dedric White, Hastings and Veal.
