Part 8: Alleged Ratt Pacc Murder Pact: The Life and Death of Nicole Cearo
Points of interest in the case of Nicole Cearo.
The oldest gangs in Seattle are entrenched in its communities. Gangs are generational and familial and some rivalries go back decades.
Within gangs like 74 Hoover, there are sets; gangs within the gang. If ever a Seattle gang could be described as notorious, the Ratt Pacc fits the bill, and the ongoing body count and felony criminal cases from the local to the federal level are proof of that.
Roosevelt Montgomery Jr*. is a member of the Ratt Pacc of south Seattle’s 74 Hoover gang and goes by the name Baby Ratt. He has declined to participate in an interview for this series.
Witnesses and police records exhaustively document Mr. Montgomery’s gang related activity; shootings and assaults, including fellow and rival gang members, women and young girls, including relatives and former girlfriends. He has also been a victim of gang violence, shot himself on at least two separate occasions.
Mr. Montgomery and other members of 74 Hoover are well known to the Major Crimes Unit of the Seattle Police Department, the Gang Unit, Homicide, and street patrol, as well as the FBI’s special division for investigating violent gangs.
By 2010 members of the gang unit were actively searching for D-Ratt**, a member of the 74 Hoover Ratt Pacc. They wanted to talk to him about Nicole. But according to multiple, independent sources, D-Ratt left the state in the summer of 2009, months after Nicole was murdered allegedly, fearful police would eventually come looking for him.
