Michael Williams, widely known by his stage name Sheff G, has pled guilty to charges including attempted murder and conspiracy related to a significant gang-related conspiracy case in Brooklyn. This case is part of a broader indictment involving a total of 32 alleged gang members.

Details of the Case

During a hearing at the Brooklyn Supreme Court, Williams, 26, accepted a plea deal that will see him serve five years in prison along with five years of post-release supervision. The prosecution initially sought a much harsher sentence of 20 years, but the negotiated agreement was ultimately accepted.

Investigation Background

The ongoing investigation, spearheaded by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Violent Criminal Enterprises Bureau in coordination with the NYPD’s Gun Violence Suppression Division, has led to a 140-count indictment. As of now, 17 other defendants have entered guilty pleas, while the trials for 14 others, including fellow rapper Tegan Chambers, known professionally as Sleepy Hallow, are still pending.

Allegations Against Williams

The indictment outlines various charges attributed to members of the 8 Trey Crips and 9 Ways gangs, including involvement in multiple shootings. Investigators utilized surveillance footage and communications via social media to substantiate the claims against the accused. Notably, one message attributed to Williams following an incident indicated his interest in confirming a successful attack against rival gang members.

Additionally, Williams is accused of orchestrating and facilitating violent activities, including driving shooters to crime scenes.

Statements from Officials

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez stated, “Notoriety could not shield this defendant from justice. He used his fame to fund and direct violence, terrorizing our streets. Brooklyn will not tolerate gangs that endanger our communities.”

Future Proceedings

The sentencing for Williams is scheduled for August 13, 2025. The investigation continues, with several co-defendants awaiting trial and more inquiries into gang-related activities ongoing.
