"Richler Morette, known as "Breezy," admitted in federal court to participating in the September 2020 murder of Roodson Polynice and to conspiring to kill rival gang members. Prosecutors said Morette, 30, faces up to life in prison when sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ann M. Donnelly. Morette is the eighth Hyena Crips member to plead guilty under a sweeping federal indictment that charged the gang with a decade-long pattern of violent racketeering activity."
"U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. said the prosecution marks the dismantling of a gang that "terrorized our communities for too long." He added, "These Hyena Crips gang members killed innocent people, robbed local businesses, and stole the identities of hard-working individuals. It is my sincere hope that these guilty pleas represent justice and some measure of closure for the victims and their loved ones." Prosecutors detailed that the Hyena Crips, based in Flatbush, Brooklyn, financed their operations through robberies and fraud."
