Brooklyn-based gang associate convicted of racketeering, drug trafficking, and committing a July 2020 shooting
Briefly

Demetrius Johnson was found guilty on all counts in federal court, including racketeering and narcotics trafficking linked to the Bully Gang, a violent Brooklyn street group. Over a two-week trial presided by Judge Cogan, the prosecution showcased Johnson's involvement in drug trafficking that extended from New York to Maine, alongside violent acts including firing shots in a playground, injuring two people. With more than 50 gang members convicted, authorities emphasize their commitment to dismantling such criminal networks, promising justice and safety for the community.
"[This] verdict holds the defendant accountable for teaming up with a dangerous criminal enterprise that - in the defendant's own words - was known for money and violence."
"These convictions put an end to the reign of terror committed by this gang, shattering the myth that criminals can commit atrocious acts without consequence."
