The Manhattan dominion attorney supercharged 16 people, to the highest degree of them minors, in a nock of shootings. Violence among New York City’s youth has soared.
In East Harlem, a six-month gang war led to gunfire in playgrounds, buildings, courtyards and crowded streets, accounting for half the shootings in a single police precinct, law enforcement officials said on Tuesday.
The feud between the gangs, known as Wuski and LA World, resulted in 21 shootings, according to Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney, who on Tuesday announced two indictments against 16 members.
The defendants, 13 of whom were younger than 18 at the time of the shootings, face a litany of charges, including criminal possession of a weapon, attempted murder and conspiracy with the intent to commit murder.
“It is sobering for me to bring such charges — serious charges — against defendants who are so young,” Mr. Bragg said at a news conference on Tuesday.
“This brazen disregard for the lives of others created an atmosphere of terror for any other group going about their daily business,” he added.
