Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney announced a 53-count indictment charging nine alleged members and associates of the Lowndes Block Gang, a Huntington Station–based street gang also known as LBG, with a series of violent crimes spanning nearly a decade.
The charges include two murders, multiple non-fatal shootings, weapons possession, and sex trafficking offenses allegedly used to fund gang activity.
According to prosecutors, the indictment followed a multi-year investigation by the District Attorney’s Cold Case Gang Homicide Unit in partnership with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. Investigators allege the gang sought to control territory around Lowndes Avenue in Huntington Station through violence and intimidation.
Prosecutors allege Marques Scott, 31, was a high-ranking gang leader who ordered and facilitated acts of violence, including directing a 14-year-old associate to kill Luis Cameron Rimmer-Hernandez in August 2021. The teenager was previously convicted of the murder and sentenced to 12 years to life in prison. Authorities allege Scott, along with Kevin Donaghy and Shakur May, helped plan and carry out the killing.
Donaghy, 33, is also charged in connection with the 2016 shooting death of 18-year-old Antoine Butts-Miller, who authorities say was not gang-affiliated. Additional charges detailed in the indictment include at least eight other shootings between 2020 and 2025 across Huntington Station, Wyandanch, Central Islip, and Commack, several of which seriously injured victims.
Prosecutors further allege that Scott and co-defendant Joshua Brown operated a sex trafficking and prostitution scheme to finance gang operations, including the purchase of firearms.
All nine defendants were arraigned in Suffolk County Supreme Court and face sentences ranging up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted on the top counts. The case is being prosecuted by the District Attorney’s Violent Criminal Enterprises and Homicide bureaus.
