22 alleged Brooklyn street gang members indicted for 26 shootings across borough in three-year guerrilla war with rivals

22 alleged members of Brooklyn-based Folk Nation subsets 'Renegade Goons' and 'OOs' were indicted for 26 shootings across Crown Heights, Flatbush, and East New York between October 2022 and 2025, resulting in 23 injuries and one death. The violence, prosecutors claim, began after two gang members were killed by rivals, sparking a retaliatory campaign that included a 2024 assassination of a 24-year-old outside a barber shop and a 2025 Sweet 16 party shooting injuring six teens.
