“As alleged, this highly structured criminal enterprise is responsible for a wide range of violent and dangerous criminal activity,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Their money-making operation fueled their ability to commit violence and chaos, including, we allege, a double homicide, shootings and multiple gunpoint robberies. The combination of street crime and financial fraud is incredibly dangerous, and we utilized our significant expertise in these areas to unravel this criminal enterprise and hold them accountable.”

“As alleged, Muslim Brunson used a glass bottle to attack two women, almost killing one, who were simply walking in SoHo in the middle of the day,” said District Attorney Bragg. “These unprovoked attacks are deeply disturbing, and I hope the victims continue to heal from these terrifying assaults. Random acts of violence have no place in our city, and we will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to keep Manhattan safe. I thank the NYPD for its quick response.”
