Jermaine Green, a notorious Bloods gang member, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in a violent gang war on Long Island.
On November 16, 2015, Green and a fellow Bloods gang member retaliated against the Rollin’ 60s Crips by opening fire on a man who the defendant believed was responsible for the 2008 murder in Roosevelt of a Bloods member.
The shooting took place as the man walked on Babylon Turnpike with another individual in the middle of the afternoon. Although no one was injured, the storefront of a nearby delicatessen was struck by several bullets.
Green, also known as "730," pleaded guilty to the charges on June 21, 2018. He was sentenced by United States District Judge Joseph F. Bianco to 15 years’ imprisonment on his conviction for racketeering and discharging a firearm in connection with a crime of violence.
Richard P. Donoghue, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, stated, "Green turned a suburban street into a war zone while attempting to murder a rival, firing multiple shots from an assault rifle in broad daylight, endangering not only the intended target but everyone in the vicinity."
William F. Sweeney, Jr., Assistant Director-in-Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office, added, "The men sentenced to federal prison in this case won’t be able to terrorize the Roosevelt community and areas around it any longer."
Patrick J. Ryder, Commissioner, Nassau County Police Department, stated, "This multi-jurisdictional investigation completed by numerous law enforcement professionals takes a dangerous felon off the streets in Nassau County, thus keeping our children, our families, and the entire community safe."
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
