Nine alleged members of violent street gang are charged in a wave of shootings that terrorized parts of Brooklyn and Queens in 2015 and 2016 - and killed an innocent college student who hoped to be an FBI agent. NY1's Talia Kaplan filed the following report: 

"This is not something I would wish on anyone," Marceline Henry said Tuesday. "I ask God how can happen to us? I try to raise my kids the best way the best way I possibly can."

It has been a year since Henry lost her 22-year-old son, Terrell. The John Jay College student was shot dead as he walked out of a Brooklyn bodega. Police say he was.mistaken for a gang member because he was wearing red.  

On Tuesday, authorities announced that Quincy Vital, 19, of Queens was arrested in connection with Henry's murder, one of nine people charged in a takedown of the Loot Gang. 

The suspects are accused in seven shootings that killed one person and wounded 13 others. Eight of the victims were innocent bystanders, including a woman who was used as a human shield in a Jamaica, Queens restaurant by the intended target of one of the shootings - an event which was caught on a surveillance video releassed Tuesday.   

"This isn't a movie or a video game. They are out on Brooklyn streets with real guns shooting real people and they boast about it in rap videos they post them online to continue to taunt other rivals to continue the cycle of violence," acting Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said. 

Authorities said the Loot Gang put a video on YouTub boasting about a shooting that was payback for the killing of a friend of Loot Gang members. It has been viewed nearly a half million times. 

Police say the Loot Gang was based at the Ocean Hill Houses in Brownsville. The shootings allegedly occurred as gang members looked for members of other gangs. The charges include murder, attempted murder, cnspiracy and weapons possession. One of the defandnts is just 15 years old.

 "We believe there are upwards of 65 persons who identify themselves as loot members or associated with this gang," said Assistant Chief James Essig, of the NYPD's Gun Violence Suppression Division. 

Terrell Henry's mother says she's grateful some of the alleged gang members are in custody but she hopes it doesn't stop there. 

"I'm hoping police can get all the gang members off the street I know it's costly I know there's a lot of them out there but I know they can do it and I'm praying and I'm hoping that it's going to be done."
