ATLANTA — The FBI is warning people in the Atlanta area to be on the lookout for a member of the “Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation.”
Caswell Senior is accused of being part of the group that is charged in connection to the murder of a 15-year-old in Poughkeepsie, New York, in September.
On Tuesday, 18 alleged members of the group were charged with racketeering, murder, narcotics, firearms, and fraud.
“As alleged in the Indictment, members of Gorilla Stone committed terrible acts of violence, trafficked in narcotics, and even engaged in brazen fraud by exploiting benefits programs meant to provide assistance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of that, communities across the Southern District – from Poughkeepsie to Peekskill to New York City – suffered. Most shocking, as alleged in the indictment, a minor was murdered in furtherance of the gang’s activities. Because of the extraordinary work of our law enforcement partners, the defendants now face federal charges for their crimes,” Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said.
