Bruce Morris, also known as ‘G,’ has been charged with the 2016 murder of Jerome Jemison in the Bronx. The United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, announced today that an Indictment charging Morris with murder through the use of a firearm and a conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine has been unsealed.
Morris was arrested this morning and will appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Stewart D. Aaron later today. The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman.
According to the Indictment, Morris shot and killed Jemison on August 11, 2016, in relation to a long-running drug conspiracy. He faces a maximum sentence of death or life in prison for the murder charge, as well as a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison for the narcotics conspiracy charge.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams emphasized the importance of this prosecution, stating that it demonstrates their commitment to investigating and prosecuting those who perpetrate senseless acts of violence. FBI Assistant Director in Charge James Smith echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the FBI’s mission to remove firearms from the streets and deliver justice for victims of gun violence.
NYPD Commissioner Edward A. Caban praised the work of law enforcement agencies involved in this case, highlighting their commitment to disrupting drug-related violence and removing illegal firearms from the city’s streets.
The prosecution team led by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matthew Weinberg, Camille L. Fletcher, and Jeffrey W. Coyle will handle the case. The charges contained in the Indictment are merely accusations, and Morris is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
