Brooklyn, New York – Jean Fremont, also known as ‘Juno’ and ‘Bigga Twirl,’ was sentenced to 35 years in prison for his participation in three shootings that occurred on November 7 and 9, 2020, committed by members and associates of the No Love City (NLC) gang, a subset of the Flatbush-based Folk Nation Gangster Disciples gang (GD).
Fremont was convicted by a jury in November 2022 on eight counts of a superseding indictment charging him with conspiracy to murder rival gang members in-aid-of racketeering, two counts of attempted murder in-aid-of racketeering, two counts of assault in-aid-of racketeering, one count of attempted assault in-aid-of racketeering and two counts of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence in connection with multiple shootings in Brooklyn in November 2020.
The shootings were committed on behalf of GD in retaliation for the theft of a gold chain and pendant from Fremont by rival gang members following the filming of a music video in Brooklyn. In response, members of NLC retaliated by engaging in a series of shootings in rival gang territory, resulting in three victims being shot and surviving their wounds.
Seven other members and associates of GD have been convicted of crimes including conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, assault and firearms-related offenses for their conduct related to the November 2020 shootings. They include Lorenzo Bailey, who was sentenced to 34 years’ imprisonment; Quincy Battice, who was sentenced to 32 years’ imprisonment; Oluwagbenga Agoro, who was sentenced to 30 years’ imprisonment; Hans Destine, who was sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment; Deryck Thompson, who was sentenced to 210 months’ imprisonment; Ricardo Hapburn, who was sentenced to 135 months’ imprisonment; and McKoy Lima, who was sentenced to 108 months’ imprisonment.
The case is being prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, the centerpiece of the violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime.
The government’s case is being handled by the Office’s Organized Crime and Gangs Section. Assistant United States Attorneys Jonathan Siegel, Dana Rehnquist, and Sophia Suarez are in charge of the prosecution.
