Defendants Fired at Rivals in Broad Daylight
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark, and New York City Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch today announced that 19 alleged members of Courtlandt Over Everything and the ABG Crips gangs have been indicted for Conspiracy, Attempted Murder and other violent crimes for a series of shootings, including three in the vicinity of the Bronx County Hall of Justice.
District Attorney Clark said, “Once again, we are talking about teenagers getting their hands on guns and terrorizing communities. In the past year, the defendants allegedly shot at each other near the Courthouse putting jurors, witnesses, court personnel, and other community members at risk. They allegedly committed robberies and shootings in the St. Mary’s Park area. My office focused here on investigations with NYPD, provided community resources, and took another step toward alleviating violence. We need to move on all fronts to stop youth gun violence immediately and give kids alternatives to gang life.”
Commissioner Tisch said, “These indictments are the result of sustained investigative work by NYPD detectives who disrupted a pattern of gun violence that repeatedly put the public at risk, including near the Bronx courthouse. These 19 alleged gang members fired weapons in broad daylight, showing a reckless disregard for the safety of court officers, jurors, staff, and bystanders. I thank the Bronx District Attorney’s Office for its partnership, and the NYPD investigators whose work brought this violent activity to a stop and held those responsible accountable.”
The 157-count indictment variously charges the defendants with second-degree Conspiracy, fourth-degree Conspiracy, Attempted Murder in the second degree, first-degree Criminal Use of a Firearm, first-degree Robbery, Attempted Assault in the first-degree, seconddegree Criminal Possession of a Weapon, second-degree Criminal Use of a Firearm, third-degree Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance, second-degree Assault, first-degree Reckless Endangerment, second-degree Promoting Prison Contraband, Attempted Assault in the second degree, Criminal Possession of a Firearm, and fourth-degree Grand Larceny.
Five of the defendants were arraigned before Bronx Supreme Court Justice Joseph McCormack and four were arraigned before Bronx Supreme Court Justice Guy Mitchell, on December 16, 2025, and are due back in court on December 22, 2025. The remaining defendants are already incarcerated and will be arraigned at a later date.
