Former Bronx high school dean Israel Garcia was charged in Manhattan federal court with murder in aid of racketeering and other charges&nbsp;in&nbsp;a 2010 murder&nbsp;case.&nbsp;

Garcia and 12 others had been previously charged in July of 2021 with engaging in a conspiracy to distribute narcotics and with possessing firearms during that conspiracy.&nbsp;

These crimes all are linked to the Get Money Gunnaz, a set of the Young Gunnaz street gang. Garcia is allegedly the former leader of this gang.&nbsp;

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “As a former high school dean, Israel Garcia was trusted with guiding children towards a bright future, but we allege that Garcia himself was participating in the drug trafficking activity that a high school dean should be protecting his students from."

There is no set&nbsp;date&nbsp;for Garcia's next&nbsp;court&nbsp;appearance.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The dean and 12 other people have been linked to a series of crimes stemming from gang violence and activity.

BXFORECAST

For local matters. I'm Phil Tit. Now we are on storm watch. I'm here with Storm March team, meteorologist, hope oil. I mean, I hope this rain has really been giving everyone a run for their money. But the temperatures also, we're going to see a dip dip there. Yeah, a 20 degree drop in temperatures. So it's just something that we all really need to prepare for. So we are starting our evening with temperatures in the upper fifties, low sixties. This is what it's gonna look like around 11 pm, mild gusty storms and then by five o'clock tomorrow morning, 43 degrees, even though that the rain is coming to an end during the second half of your morning commute. A chilly gusty wind. It is going to make it feel even colder out there throughout the day on our Monday. Now, we have that flash flood risk, a slight risk. So scattered flash flooding is possible over parts of our area, we've already seen at least a quarter to half an inch of rain reported over parts of our area. But again, the brunt of the storm will start pushing into our area around dinner time. 8:09 p.m. It's gonna be a mess to be outside. So if you can avoid hitting on the roads, that is gonna be a good idea. So this is around 8 p.m. It's still mild temperatures, upper fifties, low sixties and we're seeing some steady and even even heavy rainfall even through the overnight and taking us into your Monday morning. 5:06 a.m. The steadiest rain is still going to be with us. Lighter showers closer to 7:08 a.m. But look at those temperatures, upper thirties, low for that cold gusty wind. It is going to allow feel like temperatures to be in the mid to upper 30. So that's something that we need to prepare for. Now, even from Monday night after the storm moves out of here, the the skies will clear and temperatures will be falling to the mid thirties, but we'll be waking up to feel like temperatures in the twenties. So that is something that we need to prepare for for Tuesday morning and look at those temperatures in the low to mid 40 through the majority of the week. And then we start to rebound just in time for the week.
