Bed-Stuy gang members charged with murder, other violent crimes in 77-count indictment
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, together with the NYPD, on Wednesday announced that 15 alleged members of the 900 street gang are charged in a 77-count indictment with murder, conspiracy to commit murder and to possess weapons, attempted murder and related charges. The gang was especially active in several NYCHA housing projects.
Four additional alleged members of the 900 gang are variously charged in a separate 11-count indictment with conspiracy to commit murder and to possess weapons.
District Attorney Gonzalez said, “These indictments reflect our commitment to stem the surge in gun violence that we have experienced since last spring. Many of these defendants are accused of recklessly opening fire in broad daylight, endangering not only their rivals but innocent passersby, including children.”
