\"\"A long-time senior leader of the South Los Angeles-based East Coast Crips (ECC) street gang was sentenced Friday to 35 years in federal prison for a series of criminal acts, including his participation in the 2014 murder of a rival gang member, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

United States District Judge Andr\u00e9 Birotte Jr. sentenced Paul Gary Wallace, 56, a.k.a. \u201cLittle Doc\u201d and \u201cUncle Bill,\u201d of South Los Angeles, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\" Wallace was a member of the ECC for more than 30 years and rose to become the leader and most influential member of the gang\u2019s \u201c6-Pacc\u201d set, a part of the gang responsible for control over territory in South Los Angeles.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He maintained his control over the gang through violence and intimidation. Wallace murdered and conspired to commit murder to enhance the gang\u2019s violent reputation, to enhance his status within the gang, to retaliate against rivals, and enforce discipline within the gang, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As a gang leader, Wallace\u2019s other criminal conduct included selling drugs in ECC territory, extorting local businesses, presiding over robberies, and engaging in other acts of violence, including intimidation, assaults, and shootings against the gang\u2019s rivals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\" The jury specifically found that on Nov. 13, 2014, Wallace participated in the murder of a rival gang member. The murder weapon, an AK-47-style rifle, was later found in Wallace\u2019s van, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201c[Wallace] wreaked havoc on the community and neighborhoods controlled by the ECC, destroying lives with his violence and gang activity,\u201d prosecutors argued in a sentencing memorandum. \u201cThe impact of his violent conduct on the victims, their families, and the community will be felt for years and, for the most unfortunate, the rest of their lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department investigated this matter.<\/span><\/p>\n
