Gangs Terrorized Castle Hill, Co-op City
BRONX, NEW YORK, (BRONX NEWS)- Law enforcement busted two affiliates of the Bloods street gang, who sold drugs and guns terrorizing residents in Castle Hill and Parkchester. With street names like "Butt Naked" and "L Murda" 23 members of the gangs were indicted on a 217-count grand jury indictment, Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson announced.
“With these arrests and indictments, we have been able to prevent further violence from occurring," Johnson said. "This is part of our ongoing drive to combat gun violence and drugs, to make the streets of the Bronx even safer for our deserving, hard-working citizens.”
Dubbed Operation Black Stone, the NYPD made simultaneous arrests of most of those who are charged; two more defendants were in custody.
The most serious charges involve attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and enterprise corruption, under the New York State statutes that target organized crime and activities of criminal enterprises.
It is alleged that, at the top level, was the UGSN. Under the jurisdiction of that umbrella organization were eight branches, known as “Kaves,” of which the Black Stone Gorilla Gangstas (BSGG) was one. Another was the GSG – Gorilla Stone Gangstas.
Those alleged BSGG and UGSN leaders/members under indictment for Enterprise Corruption are:
Rahsaan "Low Rider" Samuels, age 39, alleged to be the leader of UGSN
Cory "Angry" Hickson, age 27, alleged to be the leader of the BSGG
Leon "L Murda" Lewis, age 30, alleged to lead GSG
Hameed "Dyno" Abdul-Jabbar, age 21
Robert "EZ" Alvarez, age 27
Jhon "Tito" Bernabel, age 21
Daniel "D-Rock " Diaz, age 24
Kwesi "Beast"/"Rozay" Ferguson, age 28
Joshua "Pookie" Garcia, age 24
Tyrell "Rell" Griffin, age 35
Justin "Ram Rock" Guzman, age 25
Brandon “Untouchable Dot” Nieves, age 29
Angel “Ace” Pagan, age 26
Jeffrey “Stacks”/”J.J.” Perez, age 25
Additionally, a number of BSGG and UGSN associates were indicted for a variety of related offenses, from conspiracy to commit murder to narcotics sales, committed over the course of the investigation. Those indicted for these related offenses are:
Randy “Scrams” Allen, age 32
Asante "PI" Blake, age 33
Calyn Diaz, age 18
Michael “Butt Naked” Hamilton, age 23
Matthew Harris, age 32
Dario "Dee O" Miranda, age 18
Kelvin “Kapo” Mosquea, age 24
Jeffrey “Stacks”/”J.J.” Perez, age 25
Amaury “Gotti” Urena, age 25
Annette "Netty” Zabala
Beginning in September of 2013, detectives with the NYPD Bronx Gang Squad, working with the Rackets Bureau of the Bronx County District Attorney’s Office, initiated an investigation into narcotics trafficking and violence perpetrated by members of The Black Stone Gorilla Gangstas (“BSGG”) as well as other kaves, all organized under the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation (“UGSN”), a principal branch of the Bloods Gang.
Starting in May of 2014, the investigation into the crimes of UGSN members included the use of court-approved wiretaps on an extensive number of cellular telephones belonging to a number of UGSN members. Evidence developed over the wiretapped telephones established a wide reaching criminal enterprise that engaged in a multitude of illegal criminal activities to generate income and exert control over particular areas within Bronx County, as well as other jurisdictions.
The reach of UGSN, as determined during the course of the investigation, extended far beyond the borders of the Bronx. Over the wiretapped telephones, defendants were intercepted allegedly directly contacting fellow UGSN members in other jurisdictions, coordinating ongoing illegal activities on behalf of the criminal enterprise. It is also alleged they regularly discussed criminal activities of fellow gang members that had occurred in other New York counties or in other states. And, it is further alleged that some members of the UGSN regularly traveled to Maryland to commit crimes.
The crimes perpetrated by UGSN members, amongst others, included an extensive number of illegal narcotics sales, possession and/or sale of illegal firearms, as well as violent criminal offenses and conspiracies to commit violent felonies.
As detailed in the indictment, the crimes committed by the defendants were crimes committed on behalf of, and in furtherance of UGSN, a structured criminal organization with a defined hierarchy of leaders that demands strict allegiance by all its members. In fact, the UGSN employed a rigid hierarchical structure, which included positions ranging from top-ranked members to street soldiers.
“This operation is another example of the NYPD targeting a group of individuals responsible for a disproportionate amount of violence and narcotic trafficking,” said Police Commissioner William J. Bratton. “These alleged gang members who compromised the quality of life of Bronx residents were arrested and indicted thanks to the hard work of the Gang Squad Bronx, the prosecutors at the Bronx District Attorney’s Office and our law enforcement partners who continue to work together to protect our communities.”
“Today we dismantled a criminal organization responsible for flooding Bronx streets with large amounts of cocaine,” said Raymond R. Parmer Jr., special agent in charge Homeland Security Investigations New York. “New York City residents deserve communities free of dangerous drugs and the violence that comes with them, and HSI will continue working with our law enforcement partners to bring these offenders to justice.
