Mega Brooklyn Gang Bust: DA Says Gangsters Went on Human Hunting Trips
18 alleged members of "No Love City" terrorized Brooklyn with constant shootings, the DA says, including one that paralyzed a bystander.

FLATBUSH, BROOKYLN — The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office unveiled a whopping 76-count indictment against 18 young men Wednesday, all of them alleged members of the borough’s notorious No Love City gang.
The full indictment can be found at the bottom of this post.
No Love City, based in Flatbush, is a subset of the cross-country Folk Nation gang alliance, according to the DA.
Its members, with nicknames like ”Bashy” and ”Zone,” are accused of committing a rash of shootings throughout Brooklyn’s 63rd, 67th, 69th and 70th Precincts — mostly in the vicinity of Flatbush Avenue, Newkirk Avenue and Ditmas Avenue.
The gang’s main rivals are believed to be the 100 Cloccs, GS9, HQ Monopoly and the 1090s, all based in and around Canarsie to the south.
Between September 2013 and January 2016, the 18 accused gangsters, pictured above, “allegedly agreed to commit crimes, including murder and assault, in order to maintain their dominance over that geographic area, particularly Flatbush,” the DA said in a news release.
In one alleged No Love City shooting, defendant Kenny Dorcean, aka ”Stacks,” hit 60-year-old bystander Deleta Crawford, who had been grocery shopping on Flatbush Avenue, with a stray bullet — paralyzing her from the waist down.
Speaking from her hospital bed after the shooting, Crawford told the New York Daily News: “I don’t why I was chosen to be alive when so many other people get killed. I was so happy to be alive, even though I knew that my legs weren’t working.” (Full video interview above.)
Crawford said she couldn’t wait to get back on the Brooklyn barbecue circuit. “I’ll sit in my wheelchair and instead of shaking my booty, I’ll shake my shoulders,” she said.
No Love City allegedly ramped up its offensive after one of its own, 17-year-old Malik Bhola, was shot dead in January 2014 at a Bushwick house party.
At the party, Bhola had been involved in a fight over a girl, prosecutors say. Directly before he was shot, he allegedly sent out a call for help, alerting fellow gangsters that there were “opps,” or members of opposing gangs, in the area.
Following the teen’s murder, prosecutors say, No Love City members would go “riding out” in Canarsie — ”by which they meant going on hunting expeditions in vehicles and shooting individuals they suspected of being 100 Cloccs or HQ Monopoly, or merely being from the ’Flossy.’” (Aka, Canarsie.)
The gang allegedly became even more agitated later that year, in October, when No Love City member Richard James, aka “Money Bags,” was gunned down outside the Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, Calif.
The DA’s Office said evidence against No Love City members includes various Facebook posts in which they ”discussed their intentions and efforts to engage in additional attacks and took credit for past attacks,” as well as recorded calls in which inmates on Rikers Island ordered ”acts of retribution such as beatings and shootings of members of rival gangs.”
