- Four suspects have been charged with trafficking more than 50 guns in Brooklyn - some sold steps from churches and schools. A NYCHA development in the Canarsi section of Brooklyn was quiet Wednesday, but according to prosecutors it was the favorite marketplace of a local gun trafficking gang that sold guns and drugs to undercover cops.
Prosecutors said two of the defendants bought the guns in Virginia. They were then sold during daylight hours around the Canarsie complex, near schools and a church. Some of the guns had defaced serial numbers. Others were ghost guns. Officials said that several of the guns sold to undercover agents were used in previous crimes committed in Brooklyn.
Officials said one of the guns was used on August 16, 2021, when armed gunmen fired into a crowd of more than 100 people partying at a family day celebration at the Roosevelt houses in Bed-Stuy. Eight people were struck by gunfire.
