Nearly three dozen alleged members of the RPT (River Park Towers) organization have been charged several indictments with various charges. These charges include conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, attempted assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark along with NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell announced a 65-count indictment Tuesday. The indictment is related to multiple shootings in and around the River Park Towers complex in the Highbridge neighborhood of the Bronx.
“These defendants allegedly engaged in gun violence, committing six shootings, one which injured a rival gang member,” Clark said. “They allegedly fired wildly on the streets without regard for the lives of anyone else. They allegedly possessed a gun used in shootings that they posed with on social media and rapped about the violence. I thank the NYPD for their partnership in this investigation. We are doing all we can to battle the gun scourge, but more must be done to deviate young people from a life of gangs and senseless violence. I am calling on rappers from the Bronx to stop using music to encourage shootings and use it to better the community. I am asking to have a summit with aspiring rappers and the rap stars who come from the Bronx, record companies, radio stations and social media so we can find solutions to prevent further violence.”
