Candice Johnston, a notorious leader of the Red Life Militia gang, a set of the nationwide Bloods gang, was arrested in New York City for her involvement in a string of violent crimes, including the brutal murder of Noel Farrow in the Bronx on May 31, 2017. As the alleged leader of the gang, Johnston, also known as ‘Queen’, was responsible for ordering the robbery and murder of Farrow. The arrest was made in the Southern District of New York, where Johnston will face charges of racketeering conspiracy, murder in aid of racketeering, and conspiring to traffic firearms.
According to authorities, Johnston’s gang was built on a foundation of violence, with members engaging in armed robbery, gun and narcotics trafficking, promotion of prostitution, and other serious crimes. The gang’s activities were not limited to the Bronx, as they also received illegal firearms trafficked from North Carolina. The murder of Farrow was a stark example of the gang’s brutality, and Johnston’s alleged involvement has sparked outrage in the community.
The arrest of Johnston is a significant blow to the Red Life Militia gang and the wider Bloods organization. Law enforcement agencies, including the New York City Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations, have been working tirelessly to dismantle the gang and bring its members to justice. The people of the Bronx and surrounding areas can rest a little easier knowing that a notorious gang leader is off the streets.
The case against Johnston is ongoing, and she is currently being held in custody. As the prosecution moves forward, it is likely that more details will emerge about the inner workings of the Red Life Militia gang and Johnston’s role in its activities. For now, the community can take comfort in the knowledge that a violent gang leader has been brought to justice.
