A total of 19 members of two rival street gangs are facing charges for a series of crimes terrorizing the Belmont and Claremont neighborhoods, according to officials.

Surveillance video shows bullets fly in broad daylight, as shooters opened fire on busy sidewalks across the Bronx.

The Bronx District Attorney's Office, along with the NYPD police commissioner and New York City Mayor Eric Adams, announced a 208-count indictment against 19 alleged gang members from two rival gangs.

The charges range from murder, manslaughter, attempted murder, robbery and gang assault. In total, 15 illegal guns were confiscated in the operation.

"The Bronx is bleeding, and I am doing everything in my power to make it stop," said Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark.

The 9Raq gang and Thirdside gang are allegedly responsible for 12 shootings from May 2021 to May 2025 that injured three innocent bystanders and killed an alleged 9Raq member, Nixon Rodriguez.

Investigators believe Rodriquez was killed by his own crew in a "failed" retaliatory mission inside rival gang territory on June 2, 2023.

“Adult gang members passed loaded weapons to adolescence and juvenile gang members and instructed them to shoot, youth are shooting people right here, right outside our very court houses," said Clark.

More than half of the alleged gang members were under the age of 18 at the time of the crimes.

"Their access to guns is turning neighborhood disputes into deadly battlegrounds," said NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.

Tisch and Clark say reforms to the "Raise the Age" law are needed.

The law was enacted in 2017 by then Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Under the law, cases for 16- and 17-year-olds are ultimately heard in Family Court or in the Youth part, instead of the adult criminal court system.

“Since the raise the age went into effect, the number of shooters and shooting victims under the age of 18 has doubled. This is a consequence of policy and law changes having a very tangible and undeniable affect," said Tisch.

Tisch said they are focused on precision policing, by flooding more officers into high crime neighborhoods.

"The mentality is there is no consequences and that's why we really, really, really need to have a look back," said Clark.
