All we know about rapper Sheff G's sentence for attempted murder in Brooklyn
Rapper Sheff G has achieved the spotlight since he was charged with attempted murder and conspiracy in Brooklyn. According to a report in Entertainment Weekly, the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office argued that Sheff G used earnings from his profession to fuel gang violence in the New York City borough.
He reportedly pleaded guilty to the charges, which were allegedly linked to his role as a leader in the 8 Trey Crips gang and its affiliate, the 9 Ways gang.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said:
“This defendant had talent and opportunity, but chose to use them to fuel violence instead of building a better future. Together with the NYPD, we have driven gun violence in Brooklyn to record lows by focusing on dangerous individuals, like Mr. Williams and his cohorts. I can only hope that this measure of accountability will lead him to taking a different path and using his influence in a positive manner.”
He added:
“I can only hope that this measure of accountability will lead him to taking a different path and using his influence in a positive manner.”
One of the most serious incidents that involved rapper Sheff G included an October 2020 mass shooting in Brooklyn. The incident killed one person and injured a dozen. According to a report in ABC News, the gang members of 8 Trey Crips and its affiliate, the 9 Ways gang, allegedly committed shootings, possessed guns, and used stolen cars to eliminate rivals.
During that time, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said:
“The senseless gun violence, allegedly committed by these defendants, terrorized our neighbors for years and left more than a dozen people with serious injuries. It is distressing to know that some of the violence was allegedly fueled by a young man who used money he made from a successful music career to allegedly pay for and encourage acts of violence.”
Reportedly, the rapper offered money and expensive jewelry to those who committed violence.
