"Today's superseding indictment charging two murderers demonstrates our Office's commitment to seek justices for all victims, regardless of how long it takes. U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. emphasized the office's dedication to prosecuting gang violence, with assistance from the FBI and NYPD Metro Safe Streets Task Force."
"The new five-count case builds on earlier gun and conspiracy charges and recasts them as part of a racketeering conspiracy that, according to prosecutors, sweeps in murder, robbery, fraud and narcotics trafficking, linking multiple violent incidents to the defendants' broader criminal enterprise."
"Federal authorities now say the superseding indictment links the 2022 violence to the defendants' broader racketeering activity, as part of a wider federal push against a Gangster Disciples subset prosecutors call 'No Love City.'"
Brooklyn federal prosecutors unsealed a superseding indictment against Kwyme Waddell and Paolo Alfarobarber, leaders of a Folk Nation Gangster Disciples subset called "No Love City." Waddell faces charges for killing Franklin McPherson on his front porch in East Flatbush in 2012, while Alfarobarber is charged with killing Armani Thomas in his apartment building stairwell in 2015. The five-count indictment expands earlier gun and conspiracy charges into a broader racketeering case encompassing murder, robbery, fraud, and narcotics trafficking. Co-defendant Joel Myrie is also named. This prosecution connects to a wider federal campaign against the gang subset, including a 2022 drive-by shooting in Canarsie that injured a man.
