SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 10 – Daniel Hernandez
a/k/a Tekashi 6ix9ine was
sentenced to 24 months of
total imprisonment on December
18 in a proceeding live
tweeted by Inner City
Press before U.S. District
Court Judge Paul A.
Engelmayer.
Now on
February 12 one of his initial
co-defendants Fuguan Lovick
a/k/a Fu Banga is set to be
sentenced by Judge Engelmayer
in a proceeding that Inner
City Press aims to at least
partially live tweet. The
government is asking for a
sentence of from 90 to 96
months in jail, 84 of them for
pleading guilty to shooting a
gun at the Barclay's Center in
downtown Brooklyn. AUSA
Michael Longyear has written
to Judge Engelmayer: "On April
21, 2018, the defendant was
present with other Nine Trey
members when he shot above the
heads of rival gang members
inside the Barclays Center in
Brooklyn. The defendant
arrived with Daniel Hernandez,
a/k/a “Tekashi 6ix 9ine,”
Martin, Kifano Jordan, a/k/a
“Shotti,” Denard Butler, a/k/a
“Drama,” Jesnel Butler, a/k/a
“Ish,” and Faheem Walter,
a/k/a “Crippy,” among others.
Hernandez was scheduled to
sing the entrance song for a
boxer who had a match that
night. While in a hallway in
the Barclays Center, the
defendant and other Nine Trey
members encountered the
entourage of a rival rapper,
who was a member of a
different Bloods set. During
the altercation, Lovick
removed a gun he had hidden in
his show and fired the gun in
the air over the rival gang
members’ heads. Afterwards,
the rival rapper ran towards
the defendant and other Nine
Trey members, and Lovick can
be seen on the surveillance
video holding up the Nine Trey
hand sign." Watch this site.
