officials called Mount Vernon’s must violent street gang, GMG, have

of a weapon.
Tyron McCallum, also known as “Yayo,” 27, of Mount Vernon,
pled guilty to manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.
Travis Clarke, also known as “Trav,” 25, of Mount Vernon,

In the space of six hours on March 11, 2012, three men were shot and killed
on the streets of the City of Mount Vernon.
Killed in the shootings were Rahsul, also known as Russell Watkins, Stephon
Ramsey, and Cleveland Baxter.
“In our targeting of these gangs, the City of Mount Vernon has seen
its gun violence homicides reduced dramatically,” said Westchester
District attorney Janet DiFiore. “The city is now a safer place
for all its citizens, some of the same citizens that allowed both DA investigators
and city detectives to develop their trust and confidence thus allowing
witnesses to come forward, resulting in [Monday’s] guilty pleas.
