Gang member sentenced to 13 years for multiple charges


Suffolk County District Attorney's Office | Official website

Janell Johnson, known as "Jah Jah," has been sentenced to 13 years in prison. Johnson was a significant figure in the Bloodhound Brims and No Fake Love street gangs from 2021 to 2024. The sentencing follows charges of assault, weapons possession, and conspiracy to commit murder. These charges arose from three separate indictments.

The case is part of a broader law enforcement effort against gang activity. In December 2022, authorities conducted a major operation targeting the No Fake Love gang. This operation resulted in the conviction of all 18 defendants involved.

Johnson's sentencing marks a significant development in ongoing efforts to combat organized crime and gang violence. Authorities have emphasized their commitment to addressing these issues through continued investigations and prosecutions.
