Two alleged Bobby Shmurda associates and members of the street gang GS9 - of which Bobby is also an alleged member - have been convicted of murder according to a press release from the Special Narcotics Prosecutor’s Office in New York City, obtained by radio.com.
Rashid Derissant and Alex Crandon were convicted by a jury for the February 2013 murder of a 19-year old rival gang member in Brooklyn.
“As indicated by their verdict, the jurors in this trial heard evidence describing a cold blooded murder, wild gunplay and a terrifying disregard for the safety of innocent bystanders as the defendants tried to violently settle scores with rivals in New York City and beyond,” said Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget G. Brennan in a prepared statement.
According to the press release, Derissant and Crandon were found guilty on charges of Conspiracy in the Second and Fourth Degrees, Murder in the Second Degree, multiple counts of Attempted Murder in the Second Degree, Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree, Assault in the First and Second Degrees, Attempted Assault in the First Degree, Reckless Endangerment in the First Degree, and Criminal Use of a Firearm in the First Degree.
Bobby Shmurda, whose real name is Ackquille Pollard, was arrested for conspiracy, weapons and drug charges in December 2014; he is still awaiting trial. The arrest resulted from Shmurda's alleged involvement with GS9. It remains to be seen how these latest convictions will affect his trial.
