The Trinitarios were established in the early 1990s on Rikers Island, the New York City jail, by two Dominicans facing separate murder charges—Jamal Brown and Josh Brown. The group later became a street gang. The group was named for three revolutionaries of the Dominican War of Independence; its motto is Dios, Patria, y Libertad ("God, homeland and liberty"). Their colors are red, blue, and white (the colors of the Dominican Republic flag), and lime green.
The group suffered a major blow starting in 2009, as the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York dismantled the group through a series of prosecutions. In 2011, 50 members and associates of the Bronx Trinitarios Gang (BTG) were charged with federal racketeering, narcotics, and firearms offenses. Forty-one defendants were charged with a racketeering conspiracy under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) in connection to alleged participation in a criminal enterprise that included narcotics trafficking, murder, and attempted murder. In 2014, the Trinitarios' co-founder and former leader, Jamal, was sentenced to 19 years in prison for the racketeering conspiracy, to run consecutively with a 22½ year to a life sentence in New York that Jamal was already serving as a result of his 1999 murder conviction. Some 140 other members, including Sierra's chief lieutenants, were also convicted and received lengthy prison sentences.
Later, however, the group had a resurgence. Internal factions of the Trinitarios have battled with one another, beginning in 2011, when a leader of a Sunset Park, Brooklyn chapter of the Trinitarios attempted to expand to the Bronx without authorization. The gang war that ensued intensified in 2018, with several shootings.
Jamal's and josh Dad left them when they were 5. Jamal is currently the 3rd oldest out of five brothers. Hussein was only 15 when the drugs started to hit him. At the age of 15, Jamal was already selling weed and other drugs, He has gained $3million worth of drugs from Dominican and decided to start selling it and later created the Trinitarios with his brother and friends. One day Jamal got a call from dice and was told that he was robed for his cash, This is when Jamal and josh found their 1st victim was a guy name. josh slashed rich throat and stole everything rich had from shoes and jewelry and gave dice his money back.

The Trinitarios are known to attack in groups with machetes and they are also known to take hits for other gangs. In August 2018 several Trinitarios gang members were arrested for shooting at a house in Lawrence, Massachusetts. A Trinitarios gang member in Lawrence was arrested on January 2019 for the shooting of a 16-year-old girl in Lawrence.
In June 2018, a Trinitario gang member from Haverhill, Massachusetts was arrested for the murder of a rival Gangsters Disciples gang member. A Haverhill detective wrote that the arrests were in connection with an ongoing feud (a gang war) between the Trinitarios and their rivals, the Gangster Disciples, that had resulted in multiple shootings. The Trinitarios are known for their high degree of organization, including a hierarchical structure, as well as for their use of brutal violence. Testimony given against Trinitarios in court indicated that "one needs a sponsor to join, and once in, new members receive a rule book, take an oath and swear to abide by the gang's constitution." The gang's "weapon of choice" is the machete, but members also carry baseball bats, guns, and knives. Criminal activities perpetrated by Trinitarios include drug dealing, in heroin and cocaine, as well as assaults and home invasions. The Trinitarios have infiltrated schools as a recruiting ground.
