Alleged Columbia University killer Vincent Pinkney was allied with an upstart gang called EBK, short for Everybody Killa, according to sources.

EBK has captured the attention of law enforcement in recent years.

“EBK comes from Brother Lynch’s song ‘Rest in Piss,’ and probably something before that,” said one online poster in 2017. “It means everybody killa, meaning kill anyone . . . but reality it has nothing to do with gangbangin’ at all.”

But the San Joaquin, Calif., District Attorney’s Office has a more sinister interpretation.

EBK “represents a gang policy of open warfare,” the office wrote in a 2019 statement announcing a probe into the group.

“EBK is classified as a hybrid gang as its members consist of a mixture of Crips, Bloods, Nightingale gang members and gang members who originally come from, and continue to maintain, strong affiliations with other criminal street gangs.”

Members affiliated with these gangs were arrested and charged with offenses including narcotics possession and sales, illegal firearms and shootings, among other crimes, according to the statement.
