Leaders of NYC’s ‘Bully Gang’ Convicted of Murder, Racketeering, and Other Serious Crimes!

In a landmark verdict, four leaders of the notorious “Bully Gang,” based in Brooklyn, have been convicted on a multitude of charges following a comprehensive federal trial. Derrick Ayers, Moeleek Harrell, Franklin Gillespie, and Anthony Kennedy faced justice after a meticulous investigation revealed their involvement in a wide-ranging criminal enterprise that terrorized Bedford Stuyvesant and beyond.

The charges against them included multiple counts of murder, racketeering, drug trafficking, and violent extortion tactics. Ayers, notably, was convicted for the murder of Jonathan Jackson, a member of a rival gang, during a shocking incident at a baby gender reveal party in 2018. This event highlighted the extreme violence the gang was willing to perpetrate to assert dominance over their turf.

Harrell, identified as one of the gang’s founders and leaders, played a central role in orchestrating their criminal activities, which spanned drug distribution networks extending from New York City to as far north as Maine. Kennedy, despite being incarcerated at Rikers Island, continued to oversee operations, showcasing the gang’s brazen disregard for law enforcement and prison authorities.

Gillespie, known as an enforcer within the gang, was convicted for his involvement in a conspiracy to murder Mike Hawley, aimed at preventing him from cooperating with law enforcement. The gang’s operations were further underscored by their sophisticated smuggling techniques, including hiding drugs in custom compartments within their vehicles and using unconventional methods like soaking comic books with synthetic marijuana for distribution in prisons.

US Attorney Breon Peace emphasized that the convictions of these individuals marked a significant victory in dismantling the Bully Gang’s reign of terror. The prosecution’s case portrayed a pattern of ruthless violence, daytime shootings, arson, and bribery, illustrating the profound impact of organized crime on communities across the Eastern Seaboard.
