DeFreeze, along with Patricia Soltysik, founded the Symbionese Liberation Army and soon recruited members for his group.
 DeFreeze adopted the name Field Marshal Cinque (pronounced "SINK-you", though this is not how the name is historically pronounced), having taken this name from Joseph Cinqué, the reported leader of the slave rebellion that took over the Spanish slave ship Amistad in 1839.
He adopted the surname Mtume from the Swahili word for "prophet".
By late summer the SLA roster also included Joe Remiro, a Vietnam veteran activist who was a friend of Little and Wolfe.
As DeFreeze's circle of politically aware friends widened, he also came to know Angela Atwood, 25, who had been a friend of William and Emily Harris (later members of The SLA) in Indiana.
The group perpetrated a number of crimes, the most infamous being the murder of Oakland Schools Superintendent Marcus Foster and the abduction of newspaper heiress Patty Hearst.
DeFreeze is the primary suspect in the murder of Foster and the shooting of Assistant Superintendent Robert Blackburn.
