Gang activity persists despite redevelopment

The View at NoDa

By Joe Johnson

When The View at NoDa apartment complex opened north of downtown in May it took the place of a crime-ridden complex known as Bethel Midtown Village.

The main reason for the high crime was because of gang activity in the complex that the Bloods street gang claimed as their territory.

When 22-year-old Antino Jewell was killed at the new apartment complex on November 6th police said that he was fatally shot during a gang-related armed robbery.

On Thursday the police department filed in court arrest warrants for the three gangsters arrested for Jewell’s murder that identified them as members of the Sex Money Murda gang, which is a local subset of the Bloods.
