The NYPD Gun Violence Suppression Division executed a massive pre-dawn raid in the Bronx on July 31.
Over 30 gang members were arrested and charged with 176 felony counts.
18-year-old aspiring drill rapper Nay Benz (pictured above) was the most prominent gang banger arrested.
Benz, whose real name is Nadine Asamoah, is a gang leader and “trigger puller.” Benz and other members of the Slattery gang are accused of terrorizing their Bronx neighborhood.
Nay Benz raps about killing opps on “Jail Freestyle” — her first track since being released from jail in March.
I’ll let it flock ’cause I’m lovin’ the sound
Give a f**k if his mother around
Me and bro two deep tryna put ’em down
Spot him, we got him, he dead on the ground
“Every single drill [rap song] is exclusively about shooting the ops. And it’s really disparaging. You know, disgraceful if you will,” Assistant Chief Jason Savino said. “They describe the way individuals fall when they’re shot. They describe individuals as they’re laying there, really clinging on to life, and disparaging remarks, and really mocking the opposing gangs.”
One by one, unrepentant gang bangers were perp-walked in front of news cameras. The age of the suspects ranged from 16 to 26.
Several women were arrested, including a suspect who is 8 months pregnant. “I love you, babe!” she shouted at her gang banger boyfriend.
When FOX 5 reporter Lisa Evers asked if a suspect is a “trigger puller”, the suspect replied: “I don’t pull no triggers, the only thing I pull is your mother.”
“When you look at these videos, there is no remorse. There’s no regret,” Chief Savino said. “They are absolutely firing bullets without remorse, regret, and without regard for anybody that’s around.”
Chief Savino called the suspects “some of the worst” gang bangers he has ever seen.
The investigation, which began last July, was accelerated possibly because Vice President Kamala Harris will accept the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this month.
Harris, a former prosecutor, is known to be tough on gang crime.
