The NYPD and the Brooklyn district attorney’s office said that 32 alleged members of two rival gangs, accused in 19 shootings, were arrested following a two-year investigation
Police took down members of the Wooo and Choo gangs, which have been at war with each other, wreaking havoc in local neighborhoods. Police recovered dozens of weapons, some of which were used in shootings in areas where a lot of people live and work.
Police describe the gang rivalry as fierce. A map slays out housing developments in the Brownsville area where both gangs control of the streets. The shooter, Daleek Habersham, faced a judge on Tuesday and was held without bail. He faces a slew of charges including attempted murder, assault and weapon possession. A 23-year-old woman, Princess Chambers, was also arrested and faces the same charges.
Detectives say gang members are not hiding their actions, but rather are promoting their criminal activity on social media as they flash gang signs and taunt rivals. Investigators were able to use technology to solve some of these cases, combing through social media to match clothing and locations to the people involved.
