Facebook Posts Gets The Bronx Gang "280" Indicted

Ten gang members who terrorized the Morrisania section of the Bronx and brazenly bragged about their criminal exploits on social media were indicted on conspiracy murder charges, authorities said Monday.
In an eight-count indictment, prosecutors described shootings over drug and turf battles as the “280” gang fought with other area crews, including “Dub City,” “WTG” and “6 Wild.”
“Today’s indictments are the culmination of a much larger investigation into four of the city’s most violent street crews, who since 2011 were responsible for murders, shootings, gun trafficking and narcotic distribution throughout the communities of the Bronx,” police Commissioner Bill Bratton said in a statement.
Also on Monday, Diamond Brown, the 21-year-old leader of “280,” was pepper sprayed in Manhattan Criminal Court during an altercation with court officers, officials said.

Kati Cornell, a spokeswoman for the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor, said Brown was hospitalized and his arraignment was postponed until Tuesday. She said she didn’t have details about the fight.
Brown, aka “Debo” and “Bo Gotti,” authorized and directed numerous shootings, prosecutors charge. He and his two top lieutenants, Jesus “Juice Bambino” Perez, 21, and Guess “Guess Loc” Carter, 21, were all arrested Friday.
The gang members were charged with conspiracy to commit murder, assault, narcotics possession and weapons possession, the statement said. Gang members who were arraigned were held on bail in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, Cornell said.
The NYPD’s “Operation Crew Cut” led to the busts that were part of a larger probe in which investigators indicted 50 gang members and seized 24 weapons over the past 18 months, officials said.

Investigators found that gang members used social media to threaten each other, attain new recruits and incite violence against rival groups.
Brown sent a barely legible text message to a new recruit in August 2012 demanding a cash payment for guns and stating that the money would help cover the cost of “beefs” with other crews, the statement said.
“YU GOTTA AT LEAST PUT IN MONEY 4 dhat set severy chance yu get...cause dhis beef s--t aint cheap” and “im supplyin dha hood soo wee can stay on dha map.”
During the investigation, Brown was shot at least three times between October 2012 and June 2013. Three days after he was shot in June 2013, he posted a message to his Facebook profile stating, "IT REALLY COST TO BE THE BOSS."

In some of the shootings between rival gangs, innocent bystanders were sent ducking for cover.
A member of “6 Wild” fired into a restaurant where members of “280” were gathered in 2011, hitting a “280” member, prosecutors said.
The same year, members of “280” exchanged gunfire with “WTG” while shooting a YouTube video. Bullets struck two bystanders.
The operation resulted in a 34% drop in shootings in the 44th Precinct and nearby areas, Bridget Brennan, the city’s special narcotics prosecutor, said in a statement.
"Reckless, wanton shootings detailed in the indictment forced innocent bystanders to take cover and neighborhoods to conduct daily business in great fear for their safety and security," Brennan said in a statement. "Targeting drug gangs involved in violence has significantly diminished shootings in these neighborhoods."
