In a resounding victory for law and order, the leaders of a violent gang based in Brooklyn have been handed hefty prison sentences by the Brooklyn US District Court. The Real Ryte street gang members, including Semaj Smith, Mark Waiters, and Dajahn McBean, were all sentenced to significant time behind bars for their involvement in a tumultuous clash with their rivals that tragically led to an innocent bystander being shot.
The intense feud between the Real Ryte gang and their rivals, the Breadgang crew affiliated with the 50-Brims subset of the Bloods, escalated into a dangerous car chase through the streets of Manhattan. Smith, Waiters, and McBean recklessly pursued a member of the Breadgang, driving against traffic down a one-way street, resulting in the shooting of an innocent passerby who miraculously survived the ordeal.

U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Breon Peace, delivered a strong message in the wake of the sentencing, affirming the
government’s unwavering commitment to ensuring community safety.
Peace made it clear that the era of lawlessness and gang warfare turning neighborhoods into real-life video game scenarios is over. Those like the gang members sentenced, who refuse to heed this warning will face severe consequences in the form of lengthy prison terms.
The tough stance taken by the court and law enforcement, in this case, serves as a reminder that there are serious repercussions for those who choose to engage in criminal activities that endanger the lives of innocent civilians. It sends a clear message that violence, chaos, and recklessness will not be tolerated in our communities, and those who partake in such behavior will face the full force of justice.
