Among the charges are conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, attempted assault, criminal possession of a weapon and numerous other charges related to multiple shootings.
Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark and NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell jointly announced on Tuesday that 21 men and one teen—alleged members of the River Park Towers gang —have been charged in a 65-count indictment with conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, attempted assault, criminal possession of a weapon and numerous other charges related to multiple shootings in and around the River Park Towers complex in the Highbridge neighborhood of the Bronx.
According to the district attorney's office, another indictment charges seven of the alleged gang members with attempted murder, weapons possession and other charges for an Aug. 17, 2020 incident in which they allegedly fired 11 shots into a building's vestibule, narrowly missing one of their targets.
