Alvin Bragg and the NYPD on Thursday revealed the indictment of the members, who are part of the “200/8 block,” “6 block” and O.E.D. (Own Every Dollar) gangs.”We will not tolerate gun violence on our streets,” said Bragg. “If you use guns to commit violence and cause harm, you will be held accountable.”Bragg acknowledged those specific groups allegedly are responsible for about 50% of the shootings that have occurred in Inwood and Washington Heights. He also said just this year, they’ve accounted for 50% of the shootings in three or four precincts.. The prosecution alleges Almanzar is seen on video arriving with several guns and then passing them out to others before a shooting.Almanzar’s bail is set at $50,000, and the judge stressed his crime is not just a weapons possession charge.”Search warrants, as is mentioned, undercover buys,” said Bragg. “It was a really sort of all of the above approach.”The suspects are facing murder, gun possession, transportation and trafficking charges. 30 Gang Members Indicted For Widespread Gun Violence.
