Federal authorities on Wednesday announced the arrest of a fugitive leader of a violent Brooklyn and Queens street gang.

The U.S. Attorney's office in Brooklyn says Devon Rodney is in custody and is awaiting arraignment.

He and eight other accused members of the "Folk Nation" gang were indicted last month for murder and racketeering.

One of the men is still on the loose and the rest have already been arraigned.

Authorities believe the crew is behind four murders, three attempted murders, and a string of assaults and robberies.

Officials say one of gang's victims includes a 10-year-old girl who was shot in the neck.
