According to court documents and statements made during the public proceedings in this case:
BMB is a subset of the โYoung Bosses,โ or โYBzโ street gang, which operates throughout New York City. Between 2007 and 2016, members and associates of BMB committed numerous acts of violence against rival gang members in the Bronx โ including murders, attempted murders, and armed robberies โ and sold crack cocaine, marijuana, and oxycodone.
MITCHELL was a member of BMB. On June 22, 2014, MITCHELL and other members of BMB attended a birthday party in the backyard of a residence on East 232nd Street in the Bronx. MITCHELL obtained a gun from fellow BMB member Donque Tyrell, a/k/a โPolo Rell,โ then used that gun to shoot and kill Potterfield as he ran from the BMB members. As part of the plea agreement he signed, MITCHELL also admitted to attempting to murder two other rival gang members on different occasions, armed robbery, and drug trafficking.
