Bust of Queens most violent gang takes down 32 baby faced alleged members behind 3 murders

Thirty-two alleged Queens gang members were indicted in what prosecutors called the biggest takedown of a single crew in the borough’s history.

The alleged gangbangers — ranging in age from 15 to 24 — were members of the Bad-Co Ballout gang and lorded over Queens Village with a campaign of terror and brazen violence they sometimes even bragged about on social media, the Queens District Attorney alleged.

“The violence associated with this group is truly staggering,” DA Melinda Katz said at a press conference as the indictments were handed down Thursday, explaining that at least 3 fatal shootings were allegedly linked to the gang in a year-long investigation.

“These defendants have become the most violent gang in the borough of Queens County, creating fear and violence throughout this borough,” she added.

The gang was allegedly led by 21-year-old Jahvon “Shady” Attapoku, who allegedly gave orders about who should kill whom and when, and allegedly armed gangs of local teens.
