Alleged teen gang member used Twitter to sell guns, authorities say

NEWARK — An Essex County grand jury indicted a 19-year-old Bloomfield man Friday on charges he used Twitter to orchestrate a host of gang-related crimes, including the sale of illegal firearms.

Bomani Duncan now stands accused of 22 counts of robbery, gun trafficking and multiple other charges, said Essex County Prosecutor's Office spokeswoman Katherine Carter.

Two other men—Taquan Williams, 19, and Yasin Shabazz, 18—both of East Orange, were indicted on related charges, Carter said.

Authorities allege that starting on Feb. 18, Duncan conspired with others to illegally sell guns in furtherance of a G-Shine set of the Bloods Street Gang dispute with a rival group.

I wonder if he knew???

He surely should have known what he was doing was against the law???

We should pass another law that makes it easier for people to understand that laws were broken here.

I have an idea, pass a law that makes it illegal to sell illegal guns.

That should clear up any confusion.
