Prosecutors say the "Kia Boys" have been stealing cars and firing off guns near 37th Street and Meinecke Avenue.
They even targeted an officer, working to stop the crime.
According to new court documents, the block "has had consistent issues with the 'Kia Boys.'"
It's why last Thursday a Milwaukee police officer was speaking with neighbors.
In the complaint, that's when the officer said a red Kia sped right at him with the passenger wielding an "automatic weapon."
Prosecutors said 19-year-old Antonio Carter, aimed the long gun at the officer in uniform just 20 feet away.
The officer also noted the driver pointed a "black firearm with an extended magazine at him," so the officer drew his service weapon, but the car took off.
A short time later, the Kia returned, and officers gave chase.
At roughly "90 miles per hour" into "wrong lanes of travel," the Kia eventually crashed at 24th Street and Fond du Lac Avenue, the documents say.
Three people inside made a run for it. Officers caught Carter along with his AR-15 style pistol and a semi-automatic handgun with no serial numbers.
When detectives questioned Carter, he admitted the car was stolen and that "he handled the firearm as everyone was passing it around in the vehicle" but denied pointing the gun at officers.
Carter was out on bail at the time of this incident in two open felony cases.
