\"\"A federal jury in Norfolk, Virginia, convicted three men yesterday of conspiracy to commit murder and other crimes.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Ronald Jenkins, 42, of Franklin, Virginia; Japree Brooks, 40, of Murfreesboro, North Carolina; and Malik Newsome, 30, of Ivor, Virginia, participated in three shootings in 2017 and 2019 in Franklin, Virginia. <\/span><\/p>\n

All three men were members or associates of a blood-affiliated gang that operated in Franklin. The gang engaged primarily in narcotics trafficking, as well as some robberies and beatings to protect their territory. <\/span><\/p>\n

When a rival Crip-affiliated gang murdered a high-ranking member of their gang, the gang hunted down and shot several members of the Crip-affiliated gang.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"All three defendants were convicted of conspiracy to murder in aid of racketeering; Brooks and Jenkins were convicted of attempted murder in aid of racketeering; Brooks was convicted of discharge, carry, and use of a firearm during a crime of violence; Jenkins was convicted of being a felon in possession of ammunition; and Brooks and Newsome were each convicted of witness tampering. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Jenkins faces a maximum penalty of 30 years and is scheduled to be sentenced on April 16, 2024. Brooks faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison and a maximum penalty of life in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on April 18.<\/span><\/p>\n

Newsome faces a maximum penalty of 30 years and is scheduled to be sentenced on April 23.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ATF, HSI, the Franklin Police Department, and the Southampton County Sheriff\u2019s Office investigated the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trial Attorney Christopher Taylor of the Criminal Division\u2019s Violent Crime and Racketeering Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristen Taylor for the Eastern District of Virginia are prosecuting the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
