New York Gang War – Bloods vs Crips Leads To Death Of Police Officer and 3 Others In Drug War

this is a story out of rochester dealing with crips and bloods.

October, 2022. A criminal complaint filed Friday in Rochester shines light on a violent turf war that investigators say ultimately led to the fatal shooting of RPD Officer Anthony Mazurkiewicz.
The bombshell affidavit links Officer Mazurkiewicz’s death with a fatal triple shooting, multiple drive-by shootings, an arson, and a slew of police raids at suspected drug houses throughout the city.
the investigation began in earnest when law enforcement agents met with an informant and an RPD investigator over the summer. Investigators say the informant is someone who has collaborated with them on this case as well as others, and that information “has been independently corroborated to the best extent possible.
The informant told investigators about a “feud” between Brandon Washington, who the affidavit claims is a member of the the Crips (and) “R.S., who is a member of a rival national gang, the Bloods.
Washington, the informant said, called members of the Crips and other affiliated gangs to Rochester from other cities to lash out against R.S. and the local Bloods. Investigators link the resulting violence to local arson, multiple drive-by shootings, assaults, and murders, including the murder of Officer Mazurkiewicz.
According to the affidavit, the informant told investigators, that Washington ran drug houses in Rochester in the summer of 2022, selling marijuana from locations on Saint Paul Street, Sixth Street, and Laser Street.
Police executed a search warrant at the Saint Paul Street house on June 14th 20 22. Investigators said a sign was posted on the front door advertising the different kinds of marijuana varieties available for purchase.
One person was inside the house, where investigators said they found 47 pounds of marijuana, much of it packaged for street-level sales. Business cards found nearby listed the address as the “House of Exotics” and advertised “25 Flavors Plus,” telling customers to, quote end quote, “Ring Red Doorbell.
