New Haven’s Roy Isaiah Jackson, alias ‘I’, has been handed a severe sentence of 110 months in federal prison for his role in the Red Side Guerilla Brims gang. The gang, a sect of the Bloods, was notorious for its violent activities and drug trafficking operations across New Haven and Maine.
United States Attorney Deirdre M. Daly announced the sentencing by Chief U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall, which also includes five years of supervised release. Jackson pleaded guilty to racketeering, attempted assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering, and carrying a firearm during a crime of violence.
The investigation revealed Jackson’s involvement in a 2012 shootout with a rival gang and a home invasion robbery in New Haven. His participation in the gang’s drug trafficking activities included transporting and selling crack cocaine and trading drugs for firearms in Maine.
Conducted by multiple law enforcement agencies, including the ATF and DEA, the investigation was bolstered by the use of the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) to analyze ballistics evidence. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Robert Spector, Peter Markle, Jocelyn Kaoutzanis, and Joel Casey are credited with the successful prosecution.
With Jackson’s sentence now finalized, federal authorities continue their relentless pursuit of gang members who terrorize communities with violence and drugs. The grim impact of organized crime on innocent lives is once again highlighted in this case.
