Overview
- The 113-count indictment, announced Monday by the Brooklyn district attorney and NYPD, follows last week’s arrests of 15 suspects on murder, attempted murder, and gun charges.
- Investigators link the Fly Ooter Gang and Koney Sides, subsets of the 59 Brit Blood, to 16 shootings over about 13 months across 10 Brooklyn precincts with roughly 182 rounds fired.
- Officials report one person was killed, seven people were shot including four bystanders, and a 16-year-old was left paralyzed during the spree of retaliatory gunfire.
- Operation Cyclone relied on surveillance video, social-media analysis, search warrants, and the city’s criminal-group database to connect incidents that moved well beyond Coney Island.
- Surveillance footage shows a defendant leaving a supervised-release check-in downtown and then opening fire on rivals outside in broad daylight.
