3 Bloods Gang Members From LI Face Superseding Indictment: US Atty.

CENTRAL ISLIP, NY — Three members of the Bloods gang from Suffolk County were arraigned on new charges in a 46-count second superseding indictment, prosecutors announced on Thursday.

The second superseding indictment includes charges against Dwayne Murray, Kendrick Seymore and Lavalle Wilson for crimes they allegedly committed in Suffolk County between 2016 and 2022, the U.S. Attorney's office said.

Murray is charged with a September 26, 2016 attempted murder; a May 28, 2020
attempted murder; a May 2020 gunpoint robbery; and firearms trafficking. Murray was
previously charged with the June 12, 2020 murder of Wayne Cherry and Seymore was previously charged with the July 23, 2021 execution-style murders of Nyasia Knox, Diamond Schick and Richard Castano, prosecutors said.

Seymore is charged with a May 2020 gunpoint robbery; an October 23, 2020 armed
home invasion robbery; a September 25, 2021 armed home invasion robbery; and an
October 1, 2021 attempted armed home invasion robbery, John Durham, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York said.

Murray and Wilson are charged with conspiring with other members of the gang to defraud victims of significant amounts of money between 2020 and 2022, Durham said.

As alleged in court filings, the men engaged in numerous acts of violence on behalf of the Bloods gang, including robberies, home invasions, numerous shootings and four murders. They are members of a Bloods set known as the Gorilla Stone Bloods (GSB), which have “kaves” located in various towns on Long Island, Durham said.

"With these new and very serious charges, law enforcement continues its objective of
dismantling the Bloods on Long Island, and of prosecuting gang members who are drivers of gun
violence and numerous other crimes in Suffolk County," Durham said. "My Office and our federal and local partners will not relent in our efforts to remove this threat in order to make our communities safer."
