<p>Even among hardcore gangsters the heinous crime committed by James Capers (photo above, left) is considered crossing a line. Dealing drugs? Of course! Some robberies? Fine! Murder? Part of business. Shooting a rival while he is holding his 1-year-old daughter in his arms? Fuck no.</p>
<p>Yet, that’s exactly what Capers did, according to a federal jury that found him guilty of <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Murder" target="_blank">murder</a>, racketeering, and narcotics conspiracies in December of 2016. As a member of the <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/street-gangs" target="_blank">Leland Avenue Crew</a>, which controlled the distribution of <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Crack" target="_blank">crack cocaine</a> in and around Leland Avenue in the <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Bronx" target="_blank">Bronx</a>, New York, Capers sold drugs, carried weapons, and committed robberies of unsuspecting people on the street. </p>

</ul>
<p>He also did his part in the Leland Avenue Crew’s long-running war with a <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Gang" target="_blank">gang</a> on Taylor Avenue in the Bronx. As the two groups battled over drug territories, there were several shootings, some of which resulted in death.</p>
<p>One of them involved Capers, who went by the nickname “Mitch.” On July 7, 2015, he went looking for Allen McQueen, a rival gang member on Taylor Avenue. He spotted McQueen (photo above, right) walking down the street holding his 1-year-old daughter. Rather than deciding to wait for another shot, Capers ran up behind McQueen and fired several shots, striking his rival once and killing him on the spot.</p>
<p>On June 2, Capers was sentenced to 42 years in prison for his vicious crimes.</p>
