32 gang members, including drill rappers Sheff G and Sleep Hallow, were arrested in Brooklyn today on multiple charges.
According to the indictment, they were all either members of the 8 Trey Crips or its affiliate, the 9 Ways gang.
The charges cover 27 acts of violence, including 12 shootings, and one murder.
Sheff G is allegedly the ring leader of the operation.
"Sheff G became a prominent member of this gang and became central to our investigation," Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said during a news conference. "Sheff G used a lot of the money that he earned to facilitate further gang activity. He encouraged gang members to participate in violent crimes."
In one case, Sheff is accused of coordinating a group of three shooters, driving those shooters to the crime scene, and then acting as the getaway driver.
In another instance, Sheff is accused of holding a celebratory dinner after one of his opps was murdered.
