Baltimore, Maryland – Raekwon McMann, a 26-year-old Baltimore resident, was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, for a racketeering conspiracy, including two murders and two attempted murders, related to his participation in the violent street gang known as Cruddy Conniving Crutballs or Triple C.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Erek L. Barron; Special Agent in Charge Toni M. Crosby of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF); and Commissioner Richard Worley of the Baltimore Police Department.
According to McMann’s plea agreement and other court documents, Triple C members engaged in a pattern of criminal racketeering activity between 2015 and 2020, including more than a dozen murders and numerous non-fatal shootings, robberies, and carjackings, in order to promote the reputation of Triple C and to command respect from the neighborhood.
Other spin-offs of the gang are “SCL” and recently, “TRD.”
McMann admitted that he was present at two murders during which at least one member of the Triple C conspiracy discharged a firearm, including the murder of Darius Mason on July 29, 2018, and the murder of Larry Matthews on April 22, 2019. In addition, McMann was present at two attempted murders on February 24, 2019 and April 14, 2019.
This investigation has led to the guilty pleas of 34 members and associates of Triple C, including Correy Cawthorn, one of the gang’s leaders. Cawthorn, age 25, of Baltimore, is scheduled to be sentenced on January 4, 2024, at 10:00 a.m.
This case was made possible by investigative leads generated from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ (ATF) National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN).
