Prominent rapper Sheff G not only drilled hiphop lyrics, but also allegedly ran a major Brooklyn street gang that police busted up in a major operation announced Tuesday.
According to Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, the indictment accuses some 32 individuals of causing bullet-fueled mayhem throughout the borough, all under the ruthless command of famous drill rapper Michael Kyle Williams, also known as Sheff G, as well as Tegan Chambers, better known as Sleepy Hallow.
Gonzalez announced the indictment at his office on May 16 alongside Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig.The defendants were taken to court.While 7 of the alleged gang members remain on the lam, 25 of the 8 Trey Crips, an affiliate of the 9 Ways gang, were marched into Brooklyn Supreme Court for their arraignment in a 140-count indictment while flipping the bird to cameras.
Detectives were able to uncover the 9 Ways gang battle territory, which runs from East New York Avenue to Church Avenue and from Remsen Avenue to East 98th Street in East Flatbush. Of the 12 shootings, Gonzalez asserts that the most egregious crime was a mass shooting on Oct. 21, 2020 on Hawthorne Street within what was deemed as Folk Nation territory.
