Kay Flock Indicted on RICO Charges; Faces Life in Prison

Since December 2021, Kay Flock has been incarcerated on murder charges stemming from the death of Oscar Hernandez, who was murdered outside of a Bronx barbershop.

As he awaits trial, the drill artist born Kevin Perez , has now just been named in an indictment where he is facing several additional racketeering charges.

According to the Department of Justice, the “Shake It” rapper alongside several others are accused of being apart of Sev Side/DOA, a street gang based in the Bronx, New York. The indictment states that members of the Bronx gang had the primary purpose of committing robberies, acts of violence and financial fraud in their Belmont neighborhood of the Bronx. They also face several counts of attempted murder and illegal firearm possession.

Specifically with Kay Flock, the 19-year-old faces the following charges: Racketeering Conspiracy, Murder in Aid of Racketeering, Use of a Firearm Resulting in Death, Attempted Murder and Assault with a Dangerous Weapon in Aid of Racketeering, Use of a Firearm for Attempted Murder and Assault with a Dangerous Weapon. If convicted, Flock faces a mandatory life sentence.

Kay Flock’s attorney Jeffrey Lichtman released the following statement about the new charges.

“We’re not surprised by the federal charges as we’ve been fighting Kevin’s state murder charge for over a year now—and considering the shooting was a clear act of self-defense, it wasn’t a particularly strong charge,” the statement reads. “That it’s now being used as a basis for a possible death penalty charge is extraordinary. On video, it is crystal clear that Kevin was about to be shot after attempting to walk away from his attacker. Only then, did Kevin use a weapon to defend himself and another from an armed, violent gang member who was about to pull out the loaded gun in his hand.”
