Brooklyn, NY – In a federal court in Brooklyn, Tyreik Jackson, a 36-year-old Queens resident and member of the Makk Balla Brims Bloods street gang, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for being a convicted felon in possession of ammunition.
On September 26, 2020, Jackson shot an individual over a perceived drug-dealing dispute outside the Queensbridge Houses in Long Island City. Fortunately, the victim survived the shooting.
Jackson was previously convicted in 2008 of felony assault arising from separate attacks in which he struck one victim in the head with a baseball bat and restrained a second victim who was stabbed by another individual.
“The defendant, who has previously been convicted of a violent felony crime, has demonstrated that he shows no respect for the law or human life,” stated Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. “With today’s sentence, he is deservedly removed from the community.”
Mr. Peace expressed his appreciation to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office, the New York City Police Department (NYPD), and the Queens County District Attorney’s Office for their outstanding work and assistance in this investigation and prosecution.
The case was brought in conjunction with the FBI’s Safe Streets Task Force, 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.
The defendant, Tyreik Jackson (also known as “Marlo”), was sentenced by United States District Judge Eric Komitee to 10 years’ imprisonment for being a convicted felon in possession of ammunition.
