Influencer Killed in Gang Carjacking | Canada News

A shocking twist in the story of influencer Ariela Mejia-Polanco, who was gunned down in a botched carjacking while returning from her Manhattan night job, has led to the indictment of eleven members of the deadly BB7 Trinitarios gang. This violent crew, rooted in Rikers Island since 1993 and made up mostly of Dominicans, allegedly terrorized NYC, Westchester, and New Jersey with murder, assault, drug trafficking, and carjacking from late 2023 to early 2025. One suspect faces two Bronx murders, another allegedly robbed a Dominican musician after tracking him across states. If convicted on racketeering charges, the gang members could face life in prison.
