According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan A. Tokash, who is handling the prosecution of this case, Brown was a member of the Bailey Boys Gang, a violent criminal gang which operates in an area of the City of Buffalo bounded by Winspear Avenue, the Kensington Expressway, Eggert Road and Main Street.
On January 11, 2011, the defendant shot and killed Harold McCain inside a store on Genesee Street in Buffalo. On June 14, 2011, Brown shot and killed Kevin Wilkins in a drive by shooting on Minnesota Avenue in Buffalo. On November 9, 2011, the defendant, co-defendant Eddie Allen, and other members of the Bailey Boys Gang robbed several people at a house party on Rounds Avenue in Buffalo. During the course of these robberies, Brown participated in the attempted murder of Omego Stafford who was shot and wounded. On June 28, 2011, Brown and other co-defendants went to Shirley Avenue in Buffalo and opened fire on rival gang members. One person was shot and wounded. Between 2004 and April 23, 2013, the defendant and other members of the Bailey boys Gang distributed cocaine in the territory controlled by the gang.
As a result of the ongoing investigation into the Bailey Boys Gang, members now stand accused of four murders, 14 attempted murders, including four drive-by shootings. The attempted murders include a shooting that occurred during a neighborhood party with numerous children present and a shooting that occurred during a robbery. A total of 11 were arrested and to date, eight defendants have been convicted. The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 25.
