NEW YORK — Drill rap music videos helped cops corral 20 ruthless gang members, including four adolescents, indicted for roles they played in a vicious reign of terror against communities in the Bronx where residents were shot or stabbed in a spate of deadly violence that spanned more than three years, police and prosecutors said Thursday.
Dozens of acts of violence were spelled out in an 82-count indictment that details murders and attempted murders including the shooting death last year of a 20-year-old Bronx woman who was gunned down at close range in an apartment known to police as a gang hangout.
The indictment covers 32 violent crimes over 36 months, including brazen, broad-daylight shootings, some of which were bragged about on the drill rap music scene, authorities said.
