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

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. 

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. 

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 date for Garcia's next court appearance.
