Shootings are down nearly 70% in Manhattan since I took office, and we remain committed to working with our public safety partners to hold those responsible for gun violence accountable while continuing to drive down this violence.”

“This indictment alleges a coordinated pattern of violence spanning several months, during which the defendants repeatedly armed themselves and targeted rivals in residential areas, putting countless New Yorkers at risk,” and said District Attorney Bragg. “As we further allege, the defendants used social media to provoke rivals, glorify gun violence and escalate tensions, fueling a dangerous cycle of retaliation. We are committed to disrupting these senseless cycles to protect our communities, and thanks to our coordination with the NYPD and other law enforcement partners, these individuals are now facing accountability.”
