Charges were filed against nearly three dozen alleged gang members who police say rapped about their crimes and beat a pigeon to death with a cane.

Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark shared a letter she sent this week to both Mastercard and Visa, urging them to cut ties with ghost gun sellers.

They are also charged with an animal cruelty misdemeanor after authorities say they livestreamed a pigeon that flew into the area and likened the bird to a Crip who wandered into their neighborhood.Authorities say they reached that number and beat the pigeon to death with a cane on Facebook live. According to the investigation, around the time of the shootings, members would brag about their acts of violence and their easy access to firearms in their music videos while taunting members of the opposition.

They also allegedly utilized various social media platforms to recruit and gain a following and would not only taunt rival groups and display firearms on social media, but commit shocking acts on social media for views. "These defendants allegedly engaged in gun violence, committing six shootings, one which injured a rival gang member," Clark said."They allegedly fired wildly on the streets without regard for the lives of anyone else. They allegedly possessed a gun used in shootings that they posed with on social media and rapped about the violence. I thank the NYPD for their partnership in this investigation.
