The "Gilbert Goons" have been formally declared a "criminal street gang."

The Gilbert Police Department confirmed the classification on May 2 after a months-long investigation into whether charges can be enhanced against several people involved in east Valley teen violence, including the death of 16-year-old Preston Lord.

"If they are doing this through an organized street gang type of situation, we will look at the enhancement of gang charges or whether it was a furtherance of a street gang. We're not at that point yet to say that we've made a decision on that. Nothing is off the table," Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said previously.

The "Gilbert Goons" have been accused of several violent crimes. Some of the alleged members are teenagers.
