Updated: Friday, August 31, 2012, 6:00 AM Authorities have squashed a violent feud between rival drug dealing Bronx gangs who used Facebook, YouTube and text messaging to plan their attacks. Fourteen revenge shootings in Morris Heights in the last 16 months were sparked by the April 2011 murder of Dontae “Tay” Murray, a member of the Dub City gang, who was shot in the head in front of a building on E. Burnside Ave., authorities charged. In a 35-count indictment released Thursday, 17 members of the “Dub City” gang were charged with conspiracy and assault, weapons and drug charges. “This gang’s reason for being was to exact revenge against rivals and stake out their turf by creating mayhem and terrorizing their community,” said the city’s Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan.
“Blatant text messages and Facebook postings exhibited a disturbing attachment to their guns.” Dub City blamed rival gang “280” for Murray’s death, police said, and continued to fuel an ongoing feud with the “WTG” street gang. Inspector Kevin Catalina, commanding officer of the 44th Precinct, said the investigation started in March, targeting a gang based in the neighboring 46th Precinct.
