Federal authorities say they’ve arrested a fugitive leader of a violent New York City gang linked to a series of armed robberies and shootings.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn said Wednesday that Devon Rodney is in custody. Further details were not immediately available.
Federal prosecutors said previously that Folk Nation is responsible for at least four homicides, three attempted homicides, and six robberies. One of the victims was a 10-year-old bystander who was shot and injured during a turf war.
Authorities say they also robbed people after using Internet ads to lure them to secluded spots.
In New Jersey, the men are accused in the armed heist of a Hackensack jewelry shop.
The name of Rodney’s attorney was not immediately available.
