Overview

• Nine alleged members of the East New York-based Road 2 Riches crew were named in a superseding 68-count indictment unsealed July 3.
• The charges include murder, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder and weapons possession tied to ten shootings from January 2023 through mid-2025.
• Prosecutors say the incidents wounded four people—including a 68-year-old bystander shot in broad daylight—and killed 24-year-old rival Abdoulaye Ba.
• Investigators cited social media posts in which members boasted of their attacks, and video evidence captured several of the shootings.
• The case is part of a citywide NYPD and Brooklyn DA initiative that has led to over 40 gang takedowns and the removal of more than 230 illegal firearms from Brooklyn streets.
