Nine suspected members of the violent Trinitarios street gang — including their accused leader — were busted in a predawn raid Wednesday over “vicious acts” in a turf war that has left innocents in the crossfire, authorities said.

The NYPD arrested the gangbangers at separate locations in The Bronx and northern Manhattan — including the alleged leader of the gang’s Los Sures set, Richard Ramirez, who was taken from the Soundview home and into custody around 6 a.m., according to neighbors and police.

Deputy Chief Timothy McCormack said five additional suspects remain on the loose, but the NYPD “believes they’re close.”

The faction — which has several members facing charges in connection with the vicious slaying of Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz on June 20, 2018 — is known for “very vicious acts of violence with knives and machetes,” McCormack said.

A 10-month investigation by the NYPD connected the gang to at least two violent acts against innocent bystanders in Manhattan, McCormack said. It was unclear when the incidents occurred.

“We believe that this is random acts of violence by the gang securing their territory,” McCormack said.

A shotgun and handgun were seized during the raids, cops said.

The suspected gangbangers are expected to face charges of conspiracy, gang assault and attempted murder, authorities said.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is handling the case, but a spokesperson wouldn’t release any details on the case Wednesday.

The alleged gang members are expected to appear in court on Thursday.

The Bronx Gang Unit rolled up in force during the early morning hours, startling neighbors in Soundview, who were shocked that a gang leader had been living there.

“Oh my God! This is unbelievable. Isn’t the Trinitarios a big gang? This is terrible,” a neighbor, who asked that her name be withheld, told The Post after being shown a photo of Ramirez.

Ramirez’s family has owned the apartment on Elder Avenue near Story Avenue for more than 20 years, according to neighbors who described the accused gang leader as “low key, always pleasant.”

“If it’s true it’s shocking,” 34-year-old taxi driver, William, told The Post.
