Donald Lee, 40, and Torance Benson, 30, were each found guilty after prosecutors said they each participated in a criminal organization that murdered rivals and violently protected a drug-dealing operation on the city’s West Side.

“This was truly a remarkable case,” U.S. Attorney John Lausch said during a press conference after the convictions were announced, noting that prosecutors called more than 100 witnesses and entered more than 1,000 exhibits at trial. “There’s not many gang cases like this one.” Lausch said Lee was held responsible directly for three murders and for providing the firearms used in three other murders, while Benson was held responsible for one murder and three attempted murders.
Prosecutors said the gang threatened and intimidated victims and witnesses to keep them from cooperating with law enforcement, while boasting about shootings and homicides on social media. The gang, which operated primarily in Austin, was also accused of operating “trap houses” to store firearms and illegal narcotics, including cocaine and heroin.
