TNN News Special Report
The streets have long carried a reputation for danger, but today, a darker reality is unfolding — one defined by killers, shooters, and young men living in the shadows of the underworld.
In this special report, TNN News takes a second look at the mindset of our youth now immersed in this life. What drives them? What keeps them locked into a cycle of violence and survival?
We spoke with an individual, who requested anonymity, to give us insight into the thinking of those who operate in this world. They describe a mindset shaped by fear, loyalty, and a distorted sense of respect. For many, the gun is not only a weapon but also a shield — a way to command power in spaces where opportunities are limited and trust is scarce.
According to our source, young people who become involved often feel trapped. Once you enter the life of the underworld, stepping away is rarely an option. The streets demand allegiance, and betrayal can cost you everything — even your life.
This hidden side of Bermuda remains an open wound on the community. Families are broken, mothers are left to grieve, and young men continue to see violence as their only pathway. The underworld is not just a story about crime — it’s a story about loss, survival, and a generation caught in a war with itself.
The underworld is shifting, and the change is both chilling and undeniable. Killers are getting younger. What was once the territory of hardened men in their late twenties and thirties has now been overtaken by a new generation of teenagers and young adults — boys as young as 15 stepping into a life defined by guns, money, and death.
At the center of this transformation is a new gang calling itself EBK — EveryBody’s Killa. According to information obtained by TNN, EBK is made up of young men between the ages of 15 and 24. Their philosophy is stark: anybody can be a target, and anybody can pull the trigger.
“When they go to execute their target, they get pumped up with molly or sauce the street name,” one source told TNN, under the condition of anonymity. “It’s how they numb themselves, how they get the courage. They ride straight up to their target, with no fear, no hesitation. If you’ve got a price on your head, they’re coming for you.”
That price has risen dramatically. In years past, the going rate to “lay somebody down” was around $10,000. Today, the cost of a contract killing has doubled — with figures between $20,000 and $30,000 being reported. For young black men, many with limited opportunities and struggling to find their place in society, the lure of fast money and street reputation can be deadly.
“This game has really changed,” the source continued. “These aren’t the older guys anymore. These are youths — teenagers. They’re reckless, and the value of life has dropped. EBK has taken this whole killing thing to another level.”
The gang’s rise has left the community shaken. With EBK, violence is not just about territory or retaliation — it has become transactional. Targets are marked, prices are set, and young shooters are dispatched like soldiers in a war. Once a name is put out, it is only a matter of time, they are the ones that shoot the shooters, they eliminate the problem.
The normalization of violence is perhaps the most disturbing trend. “EBK — EveryBody’s Killa— that’s their mindset,” said the source.
“But that’s wrong. Not everybody is a killer. Still, these boys believe it. They live it. And it’s tearing everything apart says our source.”
The consequences are devastating. Families are left broken, mothers are left grieving, and the cycle of violence deepens with each life lost. The streets now operate on a system where killing has been reduced to a business deal, and Bermuda’s youth are paying the price.
TNN will continue to investigate the emergence of this gang called “EBK” and the wider implications of this new wave of organized violence. What is clear is that a dangerous shift has taken place. The killers are getting younger, the stakes are getting higher, and the future of an entire generation hangs in the balance.
