NYPD release new photos of 'brazen, coordinated' shooting that injured 10 in bloody attack on busy Queens street by moped gang

2021-08-27

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]

NYPD released new high-definition photos on Thursday showing two gunmen and their two accomplices on mopeds who are wanted by the police

Two men approached a crowd in the busy Queens neighborhood of North Corona and opened fire, injuring 10 people, on July 31

The men were gang members targeting rivals in the Trinitarios gang, cops said

Three of the shooting victims were intended targets, but seven were people in the wrong place at the wrong time
.300 is respectable hitting in the MLB, on the street, not so much
Eight men and two women, who range in age from 19 to 72, were all hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries

NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig described what was caught in the surveillance footage as 'pretty disturbing.'

'There's just one common theme I want to get out there that's a recurring theme that keeps happening and it has to stop throughout the city. That's gang members, that's guns, multiple guns on the scene, scooters being used, masks and, lastly, unintended targets getting hit. This is unacceptable in our streets of NYC and it has to stop,' he said.

Police said the two gunmen arrived at the scene on foot, but left by jumping on the backs of two mopeds driven by two other men. All four were wearing hooded sweatshirts and masks.

It is unclear which gang was involved, if any, but police said they were clearly targeting three Trinitarios members on the street.

Detectives suspect that the shooting was connected to a years-long feud between the Trinitarios and the Queens-based ABK (Always Banging Kings), according to the Daily News.

It also may be linked to the July 18 murder of Aldair Melchor, 25, who was shot dead on 132nd St. and 32nd Ave. in Flushing by a gunman in a black car sources told the Daily News. Since then, two more shootings have been tied to the ongoing gang war, the sources said.

The Trinitarios gang formed on Ryker's Island jail in 1993 as a means of protecting Hispanic inmates from other gangs. Outside jail, the Trinitarios began in the Marcy Houses in Brooklyn before expanding throughout the city and Long Island.

#11 The Peasants are, etc. (as the parasites screeched over urbane gunfire)

Three cheers for your magic melange
And a hoot for those mischievous anges
Who shape it! A pity
They make it so witty.

Not dogwhistling, of course, just playin' with triggers.

#8 remember: Mopeds are like fat girls - fun to ride, but you don't want your friends ~~or witnesses~~ to see you on one

#7 Good to know, JohnQC. We don’t have anything in the archives under Trinitarians, though — not even the Christian doctrine.

What if we applied Liberal Historical Logic to this?

THE MOPED SAFETY CONTROL ACT
Bans all Mopeds able to carry more than 1 person.

Bans all Mopeds that can exceed 10 MPH.

All muffler Moped must be registered and buy a

$200 Muffler tax stamp.

Background check to purchase and/or own.

Persons with criminal records cannot own Mopeds.

etc....
