This week’s indictment of 18 reputed gang members not only solved the infamous slaying of a 1-year-old Brooklyn boy, it nailed those responsible for three more murders and a slew of other shootings, authorities say.
Members of the Hoolies gang allegedly murdered a total of four victims and left nine more wounded while unleashing mayhem across Bedford-Stuyvesant amid a deadly turf war with the rival 900 gang.
Seven people — the majority of the 13 shot — were innocent bystanders caught up in the violence that the remorseless Hoolies allegedly perpetrated — and later celebrated in posts on Facebook and Instagram, as well as in music videos uploaded to YouTube.
Following are the 15 shootings outlined in the 63-count indictment pending against the defendants:
May 15, 2018

Shortly after the slaying of Hoolies leader Jahlil “Jackboy” Grant, 21, and the wounding of Akhil “Beans” Artis, 24 — allegedly by a 900 member and an accomplice — various Hoolies members met in a Roosevelt Houses apartment to allegedly plot a series of revenge shootings. The first took place at 7:22 p.m at the intersection of Ralph Avenue and Bainbridge Street, where Rasheen Parnell, 27 — known as both “Hoolie Sco” and “Baby Rah” — allegedly shot an innocent bystander four times in the torso, left leg and groin, leaving the 23-year-old man paralyzed.
Dec. 4, 2018
A second retaliatory shooting took place around 10:17 p.m., when Travis Scott, 33 — known as “Loso” and “Trav” — allegedly opened fire at Tyree Walker, 35, as he walked toward his home at 997 Myrtle Ave. Walker — who authorities say was not a 900 member — was hit multiple times in the torso and died.

A third shooting tied to Grant’s slaying took place at around 12:40 a.m., when several Hoolies drove to the Kingsborough Houses and fired multiple shots from a 9-mm. pistol near Ralph Avenue and Dean Street, hitting an innocent bystander in the chest. The 43-year-old victim survived.

Davell Gardner
A three-car caravan of a Mercedes-Benz, an Audi and a Volkswagen Jetta lined up in front of the apartment building at 365 Pulaski St., where cops spotted the activity and activated the lights on a patrol car around 11:15 p.m. The Jetta sped off, luring away the cops, after which the Mercedes and the Audi turned onto Madison Street, near a park where a cookout was underway. The two cars circled the block and returned moments later, when Austin and a second, unidentified shooter allegedly got out of Audi and opened fire at a group of people attending the cookout. Four innocent bystanders were hit, including 1-year-old Davell Gardner, who later died. The three others survived.

Parker bought something to drink, then went back to his car.

He died three days later.
