Dallas streets bled violence and crack cocaine for months, all orchestrated from the shadowed corners of the 4500 block of Maple Avenue—dubbed the ‘2600 Money Block’ by its ruthless operators. At the center of the storm: Kris Landon Green, aka ‘#5,’ 20, and Marcus Jackson, aka ‘Marty-Mar,’ 23, both Dallas natives, who pleaded guilty yesterday to fueling the YNB Stretchgang’s drug empire with crack, cash, and weapons.
Green admitted to one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine base and one count of possession of a firearm by a user of a controlled substance. He now faces not less than five years or more than forty years in federal prison on the drug charge, and up to 10 years plus a $250,000 fine on the firearm charge. Jackson pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of a Schedule II controlled substance (cocaine base) and could serve up to twenty years behind bars, alongside a $1,000,000 fine. Both remain in custody as they await sentencing.
The charges stem from a sprawling 33-count superseding indictment returned in December 2017, targeting fifteen defendants tied to the gang’s operation. From January 2016 onward, prosecutors say, the group turned the 2600 Money Block into a narcotics assembly line—cutting, packaging, and pushing cocaine, crack, marijuana, meth, and ecstasy or OxyContin pills to a hungry market, using profits to bankroll a perverse brand: violent music videos glorifying their criminal lifestyle.
According to plea agreement factual resumes, both Green and Jackson admitted to being active members of the Dallas-based YNB Stretchgang starting March 2016. They didn’t just deal drugs—they promoted the gang’s image, starring in and producing music videos that celebrated shootings, street power, and drug wealth, then uploaded them to YouTube and social media for mass consumption and recruitment.
“Gangs, such as YNB Stretchgang, that spread illegal drugs and wage violence in our community will be held accountable by the Department of Justice,” said U.S. Attorney Erin Nealy Cox of the Northern District of Texas. She credited the relentless work of federal and local investigators, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Dallas Police Department.
The case is being prosecuted by Deputy Criminal Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Calvert. As the videos fade from screens and the stash houses are shuttered, Green, Jackson, and others now face the unfiltered reality of federal prison—where no hashtags can protect them, and every plea deal echoes with consequence.
