Remarkable footage captured some of the recent gang battles that unleashed 182 bullets in the middle of Brooklyn streets — with one brazen thug firing minutes after a court-ordered meeting, officials said Monday.
“It’s unnerving,” admitted borough District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, who picked up a gun used in one of the crimes to show reporters at the briefing but said he wouldn’t handle another — because it still had blood on it.
The chilling videos “give you a sense of the brutal war that is being waged on some of our streets,” he said.
The horrific caught-on-camera gun violence included several of 16 shootings involving 15 alleged gang members whose arrests were announced by Gonzalez and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
The bloodshed pitted Coney Island-based gangs such as Fly Ooter Gang, a k a FOG, and “Koney Sides” against central Brooklyn criminal groups includinng Folk Nation, WOOO and Choo.
The rivals “terrorized” communities for more than a year, leaving an innocent 16-year-old boy paralyzed and three other bystanders, including another 16-year-old, caught in the crosshairs.
A 17-year-old FOG/Koney Sides gang member also was fatally shot in the head by friendly fire during one street battle with Folk Nation — part of the slew of violence involving nearly 200 bullets, authorities said.
“I think what’s troubling is how trigger-happy these young men appear to be,” the top prosecutor said.
Video of an April 27, 2025, shootout showed Tamari Carmona crumple to the ground at the Flatbush Gardens Housing Complex after he was shot in the head and killed as his accomplice fled the scene and left him to die.
Another shameless shooting recorded by surveillance started when Christopher Moore, 21, ran into rival gang members in the lobby at the Center for Justice Innovation in downtown Brooklyn on March 2 as part of his court-mandated supervised release, Gonzalez said.
Moore toted a loaded gun to his appointment, then started firing at the fleeing victims the moment they left the building in the middle of the day, Gonzalez said.
The suspect missed his targets, even though he shot at one rival at close range, Gonzalez said.
“I find that video really unnerving because he’s in a building where he’s a known person … bringing a loaded firearm to his supervised-release meeting,” Gonzalez said.
Another video showed four gang members indiscriminantly fire nearly 20 shots into a Canarsie home May 20, 2025, around 8 p.m.
Gonzalez picked up one of the three guns involved in that crime and showed it to reporters — although he later declined to handle a weapon from a separate “assassination attempt” on a drill rapper in Lefferts Garden because it still had blood on it from the wounded man.
Other footage from a Feb. 20 shooting captured three gunmen rattling off 30 rounds at three people standing on an East Flatbush corner close to midnight.
An innocent 16-year-old boy was caught up that shooting and suffered an abdomen wound, prosecutors said.
“Behind much of this violence was an escalating cycle of gang retaliation amplified through social media and drill music” against rival gangs, Tisch said.
In one instance, another 16-year-old boy was shot by a bullet meant for someone else and paralyzed as he was walking to Starbucks after football practice last November, Tisch said.
Seven gunshot victims were overall tallied as a result of the rash of shootings.
The alleged gangsters, ages 16 to 27, were indicted on 113 counts, including conspiracy, attempted murder, murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
Prosecutors said 13 of the defendants were accused of firing weapons during the scourge of violence.
“It’s a staggering amount of bullets fired in Brooklyn,” Gonzalez said.
“You have these bullets, obviously, endangering the lives of rival gang members who they were shooting at, as well as innocent victims.”
