LI gangbanger busted in major takedown day after he's released from jail: prosecutors
2025-05-02
[NYPOST] A recidivist gangbanger accused of plotting an attack on a rival drug pusher while behind bars was put back on the streets by officials in Albany — only to be busted again as part of violent mostly peaceful Long Island street crew, Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney told The Post.

Joseph Baker, 34, was arraigned Thursday on a 23-count indictment alleging that, while incarcerated, he ordered five fellow 9 Trey Bloods gang members to shoot a longtime adversary in the legs in exchange for $10,000 last November, newly unsealed charging documents revealed.

But when Sherlocks went to arrest Baker on April 23 at Cayuga Correctional Facility, where he was serving a three-year stint for drug possession, he was nowhere to be found.

Wikipedia:
The Nine Trey Gangster Bloods or Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods (NTG)[6] (also referred to as Bentley's or Billionaires)[7][8][9] are a "set" of the United Blood Nation street gang,[10] which is itself a set of the Bloods gang.[11][12][13] The gang operates on the East Coast of the United States.

The gang initially sold various narcotics including heroin, crack cocaine and PCP throughout Harlem.
Nowadays they sell illegal and prescription drugs, sex traffic women, racketeer, and deal in counterfeit American currency from New Jersey to North Carolina.
