PHILADELPHIA — Three members of the Big Naddy Gang (BNG) have been convicted and sentenced for a string of violent crimes, including three murders and multiple shootings in September 2021, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office announced Monday.
Dontae Sutton, Jamir Brunson-Gans, and Elijah Soto carried out a mistaken-identity shooting on September 29, 2021, firing 49 rounds at a vehicle near 33rd and Diamond Streets. Chaundrah Jones, a mother of two, was killed, and two other women were wounded. The attack was ordered by Jahlil Williams, leader of the Omerta street group, for $10,000, prosecutors said.
The defendants were also responsible for the September 6, 2021, murder of Jordan Murray, who was shot nine times over a dispute on Instagram, and the September 18, 2021, killing of Jerrick Jenkins.
Sutton was sentenced to 40 to 80 years in prison, Soto to 30 to 60 years, and Brunson-Gans to 35 to 70 years, all after pleading guilty to multiple counts of murder, aggravated assault, and related charges.
“These young men have been held accountable,” said District Attorney Larry Krasner, crediting law enforcement agencies for securing the convictions.
