Rashid Derissant an affiliate of rapperBobby Shmurda and his GS9 unit has been sentenced to 98 1/3 to life in prison, XXL reports.

Derissant and GS9 cohort Alex Crandon were both convicted of murder, attempted murder and conspiracy for the killing of a 19-year-old rival gang member in Brooklyn, New York.

Both were found guilty on a long list of charges including conspiracy in the second and fourth degrees, murder in the second degree, multiple counts of attempted murder in the second degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, among others.

“The sentence imposed today reflects the terror that the defendant’s crimes instilled in his own community, and wherever else he engaged in wanton violence to settle scores,”Bridget G. Brennan, New York City’s Special Narcotics Prosecutor, announced in a press release today (May 17). “It also underscored the value of the lives lost and tragically damaged.”

Crandon’s sentencing has yet to be announced.

As for Bobby Shmurda, his case is still pending. The “Hot Nigga” rapper’s court date is now set for September 12 after being deferred earlier this month.

Shmurda is facing 25 years for gun and drug charges.
