Boston – A member of the notorious H-Block gang, Jerry Gray, 28, was handed a severe sentence today in federal court for drug distribution and firearm offenses. U.S. District Court Judge Angel Kelley sentenced Gray to 51 months behind bars followed by three years of supervised release.
In April 2025, Gray pleaded guilty to distributing cocaine and crack cocaine, as well as being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. His sentence comes after his arrest in August 2024, which was part of a sprawling investigation into the H-Block gang that began in 2021.
Over 500 grams of cocaine, crack cocaine, and fentanyl, along with over 20,000 doses of drug-laced paper, were seized during the investigation. Gray’s involvement included selling crack cocaine to an undercover witness and stealing money from them in a controlled purchase.
At his arrest, police found a Glock pistol and multiple rounds of ammunition in his residence. At that time, Gray was on probation for two firearm-related convictions at Suffolk Superior Court.
The H-Block Street Gang has long been one of Boston’s most feared organizations, with members known for violent confrontations with law enforcement. The gang, originally formed as the Humboldt Raiders in the 1980s, re-emerged as H Block in the early 2000s.
United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and various federal agencies were involved in the investigation and prosecution of Gray’s case. Assistant United States Attorney John T. Dawley and Jeremy Franker led the prosecution efforts.
