Sheff G Begins 5-Year Prison Term After Guilty Plea in Brooklyn Gang Case

Prosecutors say he bankrolled shootings with music earnings, with the judge noting no proof he fired a weapon in setting the term.

Overview

  • He surrendered at Brooklyn State Supreme Court around 9 a.m. Wednesday to begin serving his sentence.
  • The punishment follows a March guilty plea to two attempted murder counts and a conspiracy charge tied to a 140-count case targeting alleged 8 Trey Crips and 9 Ways members.
  • The judge imposed five years rather than the 20 sought by prosecutors, citing a lack of evidence he was a “trigger puller,” and ordered five years of post-release supervision.
  • Prosecutors allege he financed and rewarded shootings and once acted as a getaway driver, citing surveillance footage, texts, social media posts, and lyrics.
  • Co-defendant Sleepy Hallow was sentenced last week to one year in jail after a guilty plea, and both rappers drew attention after a May 2024 onstage appearance with President Donald Trump.
