Kimoy McDonald aka Kenny Roq, originally out of the Bronx NY, is currently in the custody of the MDC Brooklyn NY. Kimoy McDonald was a defendant in Federal drug conspiracy case 3:22-cr-00358 and he is most likely linked to the Mac Ballers a violent set of the Bloods street gang that operates in and around the Bronx New York and in Binghamton NY. The Mac Ballers gang has been the subject of numerous federal and local indictments for a wide range of violent criminal activities, including racketeering, attempted murder, robberies, and extensive narcotics trafficking (heroin, cocaine, crack, marijuana). Law enforcement agencies, including the Department of Justice, DEA, ATF, and Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) specifically the Syracuse NY resident field office Special Agent Ryan P. Swift have conducted several large-scale operations targeting the gang's activities in recent years and Kimoy McDonald aka Kenny Roq. The members of the Mac Baller's adhere to a strict oath, commandments, rules, and hierarchy focusing on the primary goals of increasing their dominance and status as a gang through armed violence, illicit narcotics sales and robberies. 

The Mac Baller Brims are a set of the national Bloods gang, primarily based in the Bronx, NY, that established a significant drug trafficking operation in the Binghamton area, leading to major federal law enforcement actions. Active in Binghamton from at least September 2009 through March 2014 and now into 2022, the gang, also known locally as the "MacBallers," distributed large quantities of crack cocaine, powdered cocaine, heroin, and marijuana. The gang acquired drugs mainly from New York City suppliers and used rental vehicles, prepaid cell phones, and a local business, the "17 East" nightclub on Clinton Street, as a "clubhouse" to coordinate their activities. They also used firearms, including handguns, for protection and violence. The Mac Ballers group had a branch in upstate Binghamton that supplied local dealers who sold the drugs on the campus of SUNY Binghamton. That branch was dismantled by authorities.

Violent drug dealer Kimoy McDonald is out of the Bronx NY, most likely he is an associate of the Mac Baller Brims gang a set of the Bloods gang operating primarily in the Bronx and other parts of New York City and in Binghamton NY. BINGHAMTON, NY March 26, 2014—United States Attorney Richard S. Hartunian announced that 14 members and associates of the Bloods street gang known as the “MacBallers” were charged today by way of a felony criminal complaint in federal court in Binghamton, New York, with engaging in a drug trafficking conspiracy. SAQUAN JOHNSON, a/k/a “Banga,” a/k/a “Sa,” 23 years old, is a member of the MacBallers gang and is known as an enforcer/shooter who was responsible for the distribution of large amounts of crack cocaine, powder cocaine, heroin, and marijuana to other members of the MacBallers’ drug trafficking conspiracy.

"Kimoy McDonald aka 'Kirk' aka Kenny Roq, is an individual from the Bronx, New York, who has been in the news due to his involvement in a significant federal drug case in Binghamton, New York, which concluded with his conviction (plea deal) and sentencing December 18th 2025 in Syracuse NY. The legal proceedings related to this individual were notably sealed for several years, adding a layer of complexity and intrigue to the public record. Here is a detailed elaboration on the public information available regarding Kimoy McDonald, aka 'Kirk', aka 'Kenny Roq'. Federal drug conspiracy case 3:22-cr-00358.

Background and Criminal Enterprise; Kimoy McDonald, aged 34 with a date of birth of September 19, 1991, originally hails from the Bronx, New York. He established and led a 10-member drug gang that distributed substantial quantities of narcotics, including methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl, throughout Broome County, NY, and potentially extending into Pennsylvania. Federal drug conspiracy case 3:22-cr-00358 . Sentencing as to co-conspirator Joshua Matthews IS NOW set for Wednesday, August 5, 2026 at 11:00AM in Utica. Appearances required in Court in Utica, NY. 

To facilitate his illegal activities and launder the significant amounts of money generated, reportedly thousands of dollars weekly, McDonald utilized a sophisticated money laundering scheme involving the creation of fake businesses and defrauding various banks. He maintained an apartment on Reynolds Road in Johnson City, NY, which served as a hub for storing and distributing the narcotics from 2021 until his arrest in June 2022. 


Arrest, Trial, and Conviction; McDonald's operations came to an end with a series of sweeping arrests of his gang members in June 2022. Following these arrests, the case was unusually kept under a strict seal in the US District Court for the Northern District of New York in Syracuse, meaning the general public and local media outlets were largely unaware of the legal proceedings for over three years. 

The federal trial was protracted, secret, and sealed lasting approximately 3 years and 6 months. On December 18, 2025, the seal was lifted upon his conviction and sentencing. Conviction: Kimoy McDonald was found guilty of a comprehensive list of charges, including various drug charges, bank fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to distribute narcotics. Sentence: He was sentenced to 144 months (12 years) in federal prison. Restitution: Additionally, he was ordered to pay restitution of $351,732.00 to the banks he defrauded as part of his money laundering operation. 
Connections to Unsolved Cases; An interesting and somber aspect of the information available online revolves around the timing of McDonald's activities and an unsolved murder in the Binghamton area. Aliza Spencer Murder: On April 21, 2022, 12-year-old Aliza Spencer was shot and killed on Bigelow Street in Binghamton, NY. The case remains unsolved. Kimoy McDonald's Proximity: Public records indicate that Kimoy McDonald, driving a dark gray Wrangler Rubicon Jeep, was present on Bigelow Street multiple times in April 2022 to deliver drugs to a co-conspirator, Kathleen Trynoski, who lived at XXX Bigelow St Binghamton NY for at least 3 years by April 2022. 

Timeline Coincidence: McDonald was reportedly at the specific Bigelow Street address approximately one week before the murder took place. This proximity in time and location has been noted by some private investigators as a potentially relevant, though not officially linked, coincidence in the ongoing investigation of the unsolved murder. In summary, Kimoy McDonald, aka 'Kirk', was the head of a significant drug trafficking operation whose federal conviction recently brought his activities to light, revealing a complex web of crime and an intriguing, potentially related, local mystery. 

 

Kimoy McDonald aka Kenny Roq was widely known to carry a gun. Back in July 2017 Kimoy McDonald aka 'Kenny Roq', Bronx, New York (known to carry a gun), was one of three men who inadvertently left a bag containing a pistol and over $10,000.00 in cash in a shopping cart at Fairway Market in Stamford Conn. Kimoy McDonald was known to have a firearm on/in his person at all times. Evidence supporting contested sentencing enhancements for Kimoy McDonald in this case 3:22-CR-00358 including a). possession of a dangerous weapon. b). credible threat of violence. DECISION and ORDER as to Kimoy McDonald: ORDERED that 1. The Government's motion(s) for sentencing enhancements are GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART; The Government's request for a two-level sentencing enhancement pursuant to Guideline § 2D1.1(b)(1) for the possession of a firearm in relation to a drug crime is DENIED (he was known to carry a gun).

NEW YORK (AP) — The Brooklyn jail holding Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro aka Nicolas Maduro Moros is a facility so troubled, some judges have refused to send people there even as it has housed such famous inmates as music stars R. Kelly and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Opened in the early 1990s, the Metropolitan Detention Center, or MDC Brooklyn, currently houses about 1,300 inmates. It’s the routine landing spot for people awaiting trial in federal courts in Manhattan and Brooklyn, holding alleged gangsters and drug traffickers alongside some people accused of white collar crimes. Current detainees include the co-founder of Mexico’s Sinaloa drug cartel, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada Garcia, and Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing the CEO of United Healthcare.
Nicolás Maduro aka Nicolas Maduro Moros has been indicted by the United States on charges of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking, which allege his involvement in a scheme to move thousands of tons of cocaine into the U.S., with shipments reaching areas like New York City. Nicolás Maduro was formally indicted in the Southern District of New York. 

USA v. Carvajal-Barrios Case 1:11-cr-00205-AKH-2 is a criminal case in the Southern District of New York involving Hugo Armando Carvajal-Barrios, a former Venezuelan military intelligence official known as "El Pollo" and President Nicolas Maduro Moros. The indictment charges him with narco-terrorism, cocaine importation conspiracy, and weapons offenses, alleging he used his position to facilitate drug trafficking to the U.S.. Charges: Carvajal-Barrios is implicated in a 2020 superseding indictment alongside Nicolas Maduro Moros and other high-ranking Venezuelan officials, alleging conspiracy to import cocaine into the United States, and related weapons offenses with Venezuelan Cartel de Los Soles and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia ("FARC"). Between at least in or about 1999, up to and including in or about 2020, the FARC became one of the largest producers of cocaine in the world. The United States Department of State estimated that 250 or more tons of cocaine were transiting Venezuela per year. The maritime shipments of cocaine were shipped north from Venezuela's coastline using go-fast vessels, fishing boats, and container ships.
