The massive, 69-count indictment announced by Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark alleges that half of the slashings targeted rival gang members, while the other half were carried out on fellow Trinitarios who violated the rules of the group behind bars.
“During their time in Rikers Island, these defendants allegedly conspired and engaged in numerous slashings and stabbings that caused grievous wounds,” Clark said in a statement. “They allegedly carried out these attacks in order to preserve and protect the power of the Trinitario gang, meting out punishment to their own members as well as rivals”
One of the indicted, Francisco “Buenon” Nunez, 22, has been accused of slashing two rival gang members in the face on Oct. 8, 2018.
