A reputed Bloods gangbanger was charged Wednesday in a caught-on-video shootout at a Brooklyn hookah lounge<\/a> that left three dead and 10 others wounded, federal prosecutors said. <\/p>\n

Elijah \u201cEli Spice\u201d Roy, 25, an \u201cassociate\u201d of the 5-9 Brims Bloods crew, was allegedly part of the crew involved in the deadly shootout with rival gang members at the crowded Taste of the City Lounge on Aug. 17, the US Attorney for the Eastern District<\/a> of New York said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch a flagrant disregard for human life will not go unpunished and this prosecution underscores the resolve of our office and law enforcement to eradicate gangs in the district,\u201d US Attorney for the district, Joseph Nocella, said in a statement. \u201cIt is my hope that this arrest will give some comfort to the victims\u2019 loved ones and the traumatized survivors of this heinous crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roy was allegedly part of a 5-9 Brims Bloods crew that engaged in a shootout with a rival gang in Taste of the City on Aug. 17, 2025. USAO<\/p>\n

Nocella said the gang gunmen turned the crowded club into \u201ca kill zone\u201d<\/a> \u2014 with more than 40 shots fired in the span of just six seconds. <\/p>\n

The chilling footage shows three of the 5-9 Brims walking into the packed lounge, then open fire on a group of rivals across the room \u2014 who return fire as patrons scramble for cover. <\/p>\n

One of the 5-9 Brims members, identified by the feds as Marvin St. Louis, was among those killed.<\/p>\n

According to federal prosecutors, Roy and his fellow gangbangers walked into the lounge around 3 a.m. and spotted members of the rival Folk Nation Gangster Disciples, including Jamel Childs, who was also killed when the shooting started.<\/p>\n

Roy fled the Big Apple for North Carolina after the shootout and was picked up there by federal agents on Sept. 18.<\/p>\n

He was named in an unsealed indictment with assault in aid of racketeering and with being a felon in possession of ammunition, prosecutors said. <\/p>\n
