Nearly two dozen alleged gang members were indicted Tuesday after “wildly” shooting at rivals during a Bronx turf war and bragging about the gun violence in drill rap songs, officials announced.
“These defendants allegedly engaged in gun violence, committing six shootings, one which injured a rival gang member,” Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark said.
“I am calling on rappers from the Bronx to stop using music to encourage shootings and use it to better the community. I am asking to have a summit with aspiring rappers and the rap stars who come from the Bronx, record companies, radio stations and social media so we can find solutions to prevent further violence.”
The 22 men and 17-year-old — all alleged members of the River Park Towers gang — were charged with conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder and weapons charges in a trio of indictments for multiple acts of gun violence in the Bronx, as well as a gang assault on Rikers, according to the DA’s office.
