A member of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips gang was sentenced today to 84 months in prison for his role in a racketeering conspiracy and for possessing firearms and ammunition as a convicted felon, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced.
Amir Warden, also known as “Stamps” and “Killa,” 31, previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton to a superseding information charging him with Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) conspiracy and possession of firearms and ammunition by a convicted felon.
Judge Wigenton imposed the sentence today in Newark federal court.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court, from 2015 through September 22, 2022, Warden was a member of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips, a criminal enterprise responsible for acts of violence and the distribution of controlled substances in New Jersey and elsewhere.
Warden held a leadership role within the enterprise and conspired with other members and associates to distribute controlled substances.
On August 19, 2019, he distributed heroin. On September 29, 2022, Warden, a convicted felon, knowingly possessed three loaded firearms, three high-capacity drum magazines, and approximately 1,300 rounds of assorted ammunition.
In addition to the prison term, Judge Wigenton sentenced Warden to three years of supervised release.
