John Jay student left dead in wake of Brownsville gang shootings
Nine alleged Brownsville gang members, one as young as 15, were variously charged with conspiracy to commit murder in multiple shootings that left an innocent 22-year-old John Jay student dead and 13 others injured, officials announced Tuesday.
Operating out of the Ocean Hill Houses in Brownsville, the Loot Gang left a trail of evidence to their activity on social media sites like Facebook and YouTube, according to a Brooklyn DA statement.
In seven shootings throughout Bedford-Stuyvesant, Bushwick, Fort Greene, Canarsie and Jamaica, Queens, the gang allegedly boasted its dominance and looked for rival gang members to fight.
