“280” Gang Members Busted by NYPD via Instagram & Facebook (@nypd)

The New York Police Department just busted the rest of the notorious Bronx “280” Gang, including their leader, Diamond Brown, a.k.a. ‘Bo Gotti,’ and his top lieutenants Jesus Perez, a.k.a. “Juice Bambino” and Guess Carter, a.k.a. “Guess Loc.” Other members were caught back in 2012, and this round of arrests completes the investigation, for now. How did they do it? Following the suspect’s social media accounts, where more than enough evidence was found.

Gothamist Reports:

Investigators able to track the alleged leadership of the groups through Facebook, where alleged gang members posted photos of themselves holding stacks of money as well as pictures of new cars. The NYPD also claims it intercepted text messages from gang members.

“Reckless, wanton shootings detailed in the indictment forced innocent bystanders to take cover and neighborhoods to conduct daily business in great fear for their safety and security,” Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget G. Brennan said in a statement. “Targeting drug gangs involved in violence has significantly diminished shootings in these neighborhoods.” The NYPD believes the effective crack down on gangs were behind the drop in shootings in the precinct—there were 34 shooting incidents in 2013, compared to 51 in 2011.
