Inside the two gangs whose turf war resulted in slaying of NYC tot

The Hoolies and the 900s — the rival Brooklyn gangs whose bloody feud resulted in the slaying of 1-year-old Davell Gardner — have been warring over a slice of Bedford-Stuyvesant since at least 2018, leaving behind a trail of bodies, bullets and terrorized bystanders.

“This is the type of gun violence that has made people fearful to leave their homes,” Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said Thursday, as he announced charges against 18 alleged Hoolies, including two for the tot’s death. The Hoolies is made up of under 100 members, some affiliated with branches of the Blood, Crips and Folk street gangs, and headquartered at NYCHA’s Roosevelt Houses in Bed-Stuy, according to prosecutors and law enforcement sources.
