Eighteen members of a violent gang that caused a 'wave of terror and enormous bloodshed' on the streets of Brooklyn have been charged.
The suspects, all men aged 18 to 27, are members of the 'No Love City' gang based in Flatbush, Brooklyn.
They face a string of charges including murder, attempted murder and possession of weapons.
Each gang member faces up to 25 years in prison if they are convicted.
Eighteen members of the 'No Love City' gang, including kingpin Kwyme Waddell have been charged
The 76-count indictment includes the murder of a 25-year-old rival, Adetunji Ajakaye, and a shooting that left an innocent 60-year-old Brooklyn woman paralyzed as she walked home with groceries.
The brazen 'No Love Gang' went on 'hunting expeditions' to track down and murder rival gang members and then bragged about shootings on social media.

ShareBrooklyn district attorney Ken Thompson said: 'These defendants caused a wave of terror throughout the streets of Brooklyn with no regard for human life.'
'Some of these shootings happened in front of children.'
He added: What this indictment means to us is that our streets don't belong to violent street gangs or armed thugs. They belong to the people of Brooklyn.'
Kwyme 'Big Homie' Waddell, 25, was identified as the gang's kingpin and accused of making phone calls from Rikers Island to order the beatings or shootings of rivals.
Footage from one of the shootings show the gang opening fire in a courtyard where adults recline on benches and children play on scooters as he chases down a rival.
That incident, in Coney Island Avenue in July last year, left a 50-year-old seriously injured after he was shot in the heart.
As bullets flew, a terrified woman can be seen scarpering from the scene.
The investigation covers a period from September 2013 until last month.
Fifteen of the suspects were jailed without bail until a hearing on March 22.
Another suspect is awaiting extradition from New Jersey, while police are still searching for Jarmel Blake, 24, and Jerome Myrie, whose age is unknown.
Officials said that the investigation was continuing and that more arrests were possible. It is believed the gang is made up of around 45 members.
