The takedown includes a 129-count indictment in which police say 14 alleged members of the 59 Brims and Bloodhound Brims street gangs terrorized residents in Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay. Officials said a rival gang member was also killed and 18 illegal firearms were seized.

One of the shootings claimed the life of Jamel Nicholson, 25, a prominent drill rapper, and injured his girlfriend, 19, who was shot in the thigh and abdomen.

The defendants are facing multiple charges of murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, weapons possession and related charges.
