Written by SOURCE on May 17, 2023
The 32 gang-affiliated men indicted today include members of the 8 Trey Crips and affiliate gang the 9 Ways. Prosecutors have charged the various gang members with second-degree murder, second-degree attempted murder, second-degree conspiracy, second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, first-degree assault, first-degree attempted assault, second-degree kidnapping, first-degree gang assault, first-degree attempted gang assault, second-degree assault, first-degree reckless endangerment among others.
While announcing the indictment on Tuesday, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said that he hopes the takedown “will have a positive impact on public safety across several Brooklyn communities as we enter the summer months.”
Gonzalez continued, “The senseless gun violence, allegedly committed by these defendants, terrorized our neighbors for years and left more than a dozen people with serious injuries. It is distressing to know that some of the violence was allegedly fueled by a young man who used money he made from a successful music career to allegedly pay for and encourage acts of violence. Together with the NYPD, my office will continue to target the most violent individuals and to build strong cases against them, as we have in this case.”
