The rapper, who initially faced a 20-year sentence, secured a reduced deal that includes five years of supervised release after his prison term.
“Notoriety could not shield this defendant from justice,” Gonzalez said of this latest update. “He used his fame to fund and direct violence, terrorizing our streets, and though we sought a much longer sentence, he will now be held to account. Brooklyn will not tolerate gangs that endanger our communities, and we remain committed to dismantling these criminal networks and holding those responsible fully accountable.”
Sheff G pleaded guilty to charges of second-degree attempted murder and conspiracy in the second and fourth degrees in a massive, 140-count indictment against him and 31 other alleged members of the 8 Trey Crips and 9 Ways gangs. Authorities indicted the group in May of 2023 on 12 shootings that involved over a dozen victims, including three innocent bystanders. The group is also charged with the 2020 murder of Theodore Senior, who was killed during a mass shooting where five other gang members were shot, according to the indictment.
The rapper was also purported to have offered money, jewelry, and, in one case, an 11-person steak dinner as compensation for “acts of violence”; conspired to murder rival gang members with his sister, Crystal Williams; and repeatedly driven shooters to and from the scene of a crime.
Sheff G is the 17th defendant to plead guilty in the case – he will officially be sentenced on Aug. 13.
