The Trinitarios One Of The hardest Gang in New York.

Dive into the violent and complex world of the Trinitarios, a notorious Dominican gang that emerged from New York’s prison system and has since spread its influence into New Jersey. Known for their brutal tactics, particularly using machetes instead of firearms, the Trinitarios were founded in the 1990s by Pedro Nunez, who sought to protect Dominican inmates from abuse by other gangs. With roots in Washington Heights, the gang has evolved into a significant criminal enterprise involved in drug trafficking, assaults, and various violent crimes. The narrative highlights specific incidents that illustrate their rise, including a retaliatory attack during the Dominican Independence Day Parade in 2003, which resulted in a murder that drew police attention to their activities. Despite law enforcement efforts, the Trinitarios have displayed resilience and adaptability, continuing to operate across state lines while maintaining a strict internal structure and code of conduct.
