Prosecutors claimed on Tuesday that a well-known rapper used money from his music career to encourage gun violence in Brooklyn. One person was killed and 12 others were injured in a string of shootings in Brooklyn on Tuesday. Michael Williams, also known as Sheff G, is one of 32 alleged street gang members accused in connection with the incidents.
The defendants are all said to be members of the 8 Trey Crips and its affiliate, the 9 Ways gang. The indictment claims that they all engaged in shootings, had access to firearms, and used stolen vehicles to get rid of rivals, including members of the Folk Nation Gangster Disciples and ICG Babiiez.
The 27 alleged violent actions in the indictment include 12 gunshots. “These defendants are accused of committing mindless gun violence that frightened our neighbors for years and seriously injured more than a dozen people. The fact that some of the alleged violence was stoked by a young guy who reportedly used money from a lucrative music career to fund and incite acts of violence is worrisome, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said.
According to the prosecution, Williams paid persons who committed violent actions with cash and beautiful jewelry. The indictment also described one shooting in which Williams is accused of organizing a trio of shooters, transporting them to the location of the crime, and serving as their getaway driver. On Tuesday, Williams was scheduled to show up in court. Who his lawyer is was not immediately obvious.

One of the charges originates from a mass shooting that happened on October 21, 2020. Kamondre Dekattu, one of the defendants, is allegedly seen on surveillance footage opening fire from the sunroof of a white Infiniti while other gunmen fired from the front and rear driver’s side windows. Theodore Senior, a 23-year-old accused Folk Nation opponent, was slain, and five other alleged Folk Nation members were shot and suffered injuries.
Williams and his sister Crystal Williams are accused of participating in a murderous conspiracy for this occurrence as well as others, and Dekattu is charged with the murder. Two days after the murder, Michael Williams allegedly threw an opulent meal in a Manhattan steakhouse with his fellow 8 Trey Crips and 9 Ways members, including Tegan Chambers, to commemorate Theodore Senior’s passing and the wounding of the other five gunshot victims.
