Gary Johnson, Narcotics Distribution Resulting in One Death and Three Additional Poisonings, New York 2020

Bloods Gang Leader Charged with Narcotics Distribution Resulting in One Death and Three Additional Poisonings

Earlier today, Gary Johnson, a Bloods gang leader also known as “G Money,” was arraigned in federal court in Central Islip on new charges in a 26-count second superseding indictment charging him with distributing controlled substances, including fentanyl and cocaine base, that caused the death of a woman and caused serious bodily injury to three additional victims.

Gary Johnson, a leader of the G-Shine set of the Bloods gang, is accused of conspiring to sell narcotics throughout Long Island between June 2013 and November 2020, when Johnson was arrested on federal charges. The drugs that Johnson sold – including heroin, fentanyl and cocaine base – resulted in at least four victims suffering poisonings.

On March 3, 2020, Johnson distributed narcotics which were ingested by Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 in the parking lot of Baseball Heaven in Yaphank, New York. Both victims lost consciousness and were revived by emergency medical personnel who administered CPR and Narcan on both victims. They were resuscitated and survived.

On May 1, 2020, Johnson distributed narcotics ingested by Jane Doe #2. Jane Doe #2, a 39-year-old mother of a three-year-old son, was found deceased in her home in Rocky Point, New York. Her cause of death was determined to be acute mixed drug intoxication caused by a combination of cocaine and fentanyl – these drugs were supplied by the defendant.

Gary Johnson is charged with conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute heroin and fentanyl in Long Island, additional narcotics distribution offenses, various firearms offenses and destruction of evidence. The charges in the second superseding indictment are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. If convicted, Johnson faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years’ imprisonment.

This prosecution is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation and is being prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York.
