Earlier today, three members of the Bloods gang were arraigned in federal court in Central Islip on new charges related to a 46-count second superseding indictment. Dwayne Murray, Kendrick Seymore, and Lavalle Wilson faced charges before United States District Judge Joan M. Azrack. Additionally, Sheim Tevin Ramsey-Davis was charged with racketeering and other crimes. Ramsey-Davis was arrested on January 30, 2025, in Augusta, Georgia.
The indictment includes new charges against Murray, Seymore, and Wilson for alleged crimes committed in Suffolk County between 2016 and 2022. These include attempted murders, armed robberies, firearms trafficking, and fraud. The charges highlight a pattern of violence and criminal activity attributed to the defendants.
John J. Durham, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, emphasized the seriousness of these charges as part of ongoing efforts to dismantle the Bloods gang on Long Island. "With these new and very serious charges," he stated, "law enforcement continues its objective of dismantling the Bloods on Long Island."
Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney commented on the impact of these crimes: "The crimes alleged here strike at the very fabric of our community through violence, intimidation and corruption."
FBI Assistant Director in Charge James E. Dennehy noted that the defendants allegedly engaged in criminal activities designed to enhance their status within the gang. He reiterated the FBI's commitment to eradicating gang violence.
ATF NY Special Agent in Charge Bryan Miller underscored the collaborative effort with law enforcement partners to dismantle violent gangs that threaten public safety.
SCPD Commissioner Kevin Catalina praised investigators' diligent work leading to these new charges against individuals who have "terrorized" communities for years.
Court filings allege that the defendants are part of a Bloods set known as Gorilla Stone Bloods (GSB), involved in various violent acts including shootings and robberies. The indictment also details narcotics trafficking and fraud schemes linked to Ramsey-Davis and his co-conspirators.
Previously charged offenses include racketeering, murder, attempted murder, firearms offenses, and narcotics trafficking against Murray and Seymore; Wilson was charged with attempted murder among other offenses.
The prosecution is being handled by Assistant United States Attorneys Mark E. Misorek and Andrew P. Wenzel along with Special Assistant United States Attorneys Donald N. Barclay and Dena C. Rizopoulos.
