Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez emphasized the severity of the sentences, stating, 'These sentences send an unequivocal message: violent gang activity will face justice.' This underscores the collective commitment among law enforcement to disrupt gang operations and serve as a deterrent to similar conduct in the future.
The DA noted the extent of the gang's criminal activities, revealing that the Brick Squad not only engaged in murder but also in narcotics trade, exploiting their territory to generate substantial revenue. This included selling heroin and crack cocaine, some of which was funneled to incarcerated members, showcasing the gang's far-reaching influence even from behind bars.
