Target Profile: YNT (Young n' Turnt)

Executive Summary:
YNT (Young n' Turnt) presents a complex profile, as the moniker functions less as a monolithic, multi-generational criminal organization like the Vice Lords or Crips, and more as a recurring cultural identifier utilized by localized, violent street crews heavily interconnected with modern rap/drill cultures. The most prominent, federally documented iteration occurred in Minneapolis (extending into St. Paul) during the mid-2010s. Law enforcement identified the 'Taliban/YNT' gang as a primary driver of firearm violence across North Minneapolis. In publicized 2015-2016 federal racketeering and firearms indictments, the USDOJ disrupted the Taliban/YNT and their rivals (19 Block Dipset). These indictments detailed a pattern of violence fueled by social media disparagement, territorial defense, and organized narcotics trafficking. However, regarding the 2025 landscape, 'YNT' frequently manifests as generic nomenclature utilized by various independent, youth-driven subset cliques executing high-velocity, localized crimes (retail theft rings, carjackings, drive-bys) without overarching federal syndicate infrastructure. If specific 2025 federal indictments regarding this entity exist, there is Insufficient verified OSINT data to detail them.
