Bronx Gang War - The story of Star Brim and The Bloods/Hats - 59 BRIMS PT 2


The 59 Brims operate in and around Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn, New York. Members of the 59 Brims engaged in a series of violent disputes with rivals of the 59 Brims, including those within the 59 Brims who were deemed disloyal. During these disputes, members and associates of the 59 Brims committed multiple murders, shootings, robberies, and assaults against their rivals and against fellow members of the 59 Brims. Members of the 59 Brims sold heroin, fentanyl, crack cocaine, and marijuana, and committed, or attempted to commit, acts of violence to protect and expand their narcotics business. An indictment was unsealed today in federal court in Brooklyn charging three alleged members of the Real Ryte set of the Bloods street gang with crimes related to their participation in acts of violence, including the attempted murder of a gang rival that left an unintended target with gunshot wounds. Specifically, Dajahn McBean, Semaj Smith and Mark Waiters are charged with conspiring to commit murder in-aid-of their racketeering enterprise, attempted murder and assault in-aid-of racketeering, and using firearms in furtherance of the attempted murder and assault. These crimes stemmed from an internecine gang war with the Breadgang set of the Bloods.
