Three members of the Rock Out Gang have been indicted on multiple charges, including aggravated assault and armed robbery, according to an announcement made by Attorney General Chris Carr on Tuesday. The indictments follow investigations conducted by the Savannah Police Department and the Attorney General’s Gang Prosecution Unit.
The indicted individuals, Treyvon Howard, 18, also known as “Spinzz” from Garden City, Rashine Edwards, 20, referred to as “Frost” or “Babyfrost” from Pooler, and Jakarie Cowell, 18, nicknamed “JC” from Savannah, face numerous serious charges that include:
- Aggravated Assault
- Armed Robbery
- Hijacking a Motor Vehicle
- Violation of the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act
- Financial Transaction Card Theft
- Various weapons offenses
The indictments relate to two specific incidents attributed to these gang members. The first incident occurred on August 8, 2024, when an 18-year-old was assaulted at Frazier Homes. The second incident, which took place on August 10, 2025, involved an armed robbery and carjacking targeting a 44-year-old man at Oglethorpe Mall.
A Chatham County Grand Jury reviewed the evidence and issued the indictments on April 16, 2025. Attorney General Carr emphasized the ongoing efforts to combat gang-related activities in Georgia, reinforcing that such crimes undermine community safety and will be aggressively prosecuted.
The Rock Out Gang, described as a hybrid criminal street gang that originated in Savannah, is reported to align itself with the Rollin’ 60s Crips, a notorious gang based in Los Angeles, California. The presence and influence of such gangs have raised concerns among law enforcement and community leaders alike, as they contribute to a climate of violence and fear.
The Attorney General’s Gang Prosecution Unit, which was established in July 2022, has been instrumental in tackling the issue of gang violence in the state. Since its inception, the unit has secured over 80 convictions statewide, reflecting its commitment to dismantling organized crime networks.
In response to these gang-related issues, House Speaker Jon Burns has highlighted the necessity of providing resources to enhance gang prosecution efforts, which includes funding for a new gang prosecutor and investigator specifically for the Savannah region. State Representative Jesse Petrea mirrored these sentiments, affirming that actions fueled by gang violence against citizens will not be tolerated in Savannah.
Authorities continue to take a strong stand against gang activity in the region, emphasizing community safety as paramount. The ongoing investigations and subsequent legal actions signify a collective effort by local law enforcement, state officials, and community members to eradicate gang violence and restore peace in Savannah.
