Seventeen alleged members of three violent street gangs responsible for a string of shootings across New York have been charged in a 118-count indictment, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez and New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell announced on Jan. 4.
The alleged members are part of street gangs collectively known as YPF, an alliance of three street gangs in Brownsville, East New York, and Fort Greene which formed an “umbrella group” under which members were able to increase their power and territory and commit violent acts against common enemies.
