Dayquain Sinisterra, also known as “Quan,” and Ahmed Alves, also known as “Stones,” both aged 26 and residents of Waterbury, admitted their involvement in the 960 gang, a violent street gang in Waterbury, in federal court this week.
The announcement was made by Vanessa Roberts Avery, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, along with other law enforcement officials. Sinisterra pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy, attempted murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, and firearm-related charges stemming from his participation in violent activities targeting rival gangs.
Sinisterra confessed to various violent acts, including drive-by shootings and attempted murders, aimed at retaliating against rival gangs. These actions resulted in fatalities and injuries to innocent bystanders.
Sinisterra is set to be sentenced on June 17, 2024, and faces a 35-year imprisonment term if the plea agreement is accepted by U.S. District Judge Kari A. Dooley. He has been in custody since his arrest in November 2018.
