A member of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips gang was sentenced today to nearly 15 years in prison for his involvement in a racketeering conspiracy, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced.
Federal officials said Tyheim Terry, also known as “Ty” and “Rollin’ Ty,” 25, had previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton to a superseding indictment charging him with Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) conspiracy carjacking, and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of the carjacking.
Judge Wigenton imposed the 178-month sentence today in Newark federal court.
According to federal authorities, from 2015 through September 22, 2022, Terry was a member of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips, a criminal enterprise responsible for acts of violence and the distribution of controlled substances in the District of New Jersey and beyond.
On February 21, 2021, Terry, along with other gang members, attempted to carjack a victim.
On April 5, 2021, Terry participated with other gang members in a shooting of another victim.
On April 11, 2021, Terry brandished a firearm and carjacked a third victim.
In addition to the prison term, Judge Wigenton sentenced Terry to three years of supervised release.
