Federal authorities have charged 22 members of the Trinitarios gang, accusing them of involvement in 10 murders and 11 attempted murders in Lynn and Lawrence. This operation is seen as a significant blow against the gang, known for drug trafficking and lawlessness. The investigation began following violent crimes in Lynn in 2023. The Trinitarios, with chapters in multiple cities, use violence to dominate communities. Sixteen members face charges for six murders, including cases in 2017 and 2023. The gang, founded in 1992 to protect Dominican inmates, has a hierarchical structure led by Enmanuel Paula-Cabral. They recruit young Dominicans, often requiring violent initiations as part of their structured operations.
