34 Members of 2 Brownsville Gangs Arreste

BROWNSVILLE — Today the Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez and New York City Police Commissioner Dermot Shea announced that 34 alleged members of two rival Brownsville-based street gangs were variously charged in a 122-count indictment, including attempted murder and criminal possession of weapons. The gangs are known as WOOO (We On Our Own) and CHOO, and are two rival street gangs, who are sworn enemies, according to the information provided. It is alleged that they operated within Brownsville, but expanded their violence into neighboring areas, like East Flatbush. Often, their operations were around local NYCHA complexes.
