<p class="mol-para-with-font">A gangster with ties to Bobby Shmurda has been jailed for 98 years for conspiracy, murder and assault. Rashid Derissant, 24, a member of GS9, was given the lengthy prison term after being found guilty of gang-related charges.<br />
He shot and killed a 19-year-old rival in a Brooklyn bodega in February 2013. He then tried to kill three others in the same incident, investigators have said. He shot a 22-year-old woman in July 2014 and then gunned down an innocent bystander in the neck and hip.<br />
New York prosecutors say the conspiracy, which Shmurda is also said to be a part of, began with crack dealing in Brooklyn, spanned nearly two years, and was connected to the Crip gang.<br />
Ackquille Pollard, who uses the rap name Bobby Shmurda, was arrested in December 2014, and at the time the judge set bail at $2million. He has now been in jail for over a year awaiting trial on drugs and weapons charges. His family has tried and failed at least seven times to post his bail, due to the very-high price.<br />
Attorneys for Shmurda have tried to lower the bond cost, but have failed each time.<br />
During one of the court appearances, Shurmda wore a pair of $500 red shoes.<br />
Derissant was found guilty following an eight-week trial that ended in April.<br />
Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget G. Brennan said at the time: &#8216;As indicated by their verdict, the jurors in this trial heard evidence describing a cold-blooded murder, wild gunplay and a terrifying disregard for the safety of innocent bystanders as the defendants tried to violently settle scores with rivals in New York City and beyond,&#8217; said<br />
&#8216;When Rashid Derissant and Alex Crandon (his co-accused) were armed, theirs was a neighborhood under siege. When they traveled to Miami Beach, they spread terror as they fired randomly at a nightclub.<br />
&#8216;They took their New York City based grievances and rivalries to Miami, assuming that they could act with impunity there, claiming they were merely members of a music group. Their convictions on these crimes make our city a safer place.&#8217;</p>

<div id="p-18" class="related-carousel with-fb news">According to a statement released from the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor at the end of the trial: &#8216;The gang sold narcotics to make money, some of which went towards gun purchases.<br />
&#8216;As the violence escalated, members of GS9 sought to shoot members of rival crews, often discussing their efforts and plotting attacks in recorded phone conversations with incarcerated GS9 members.<br />
&#8216;Retaliatory shootings took place in New York City and Miami, where the gang members recklessly shot into crowds of innocent bystanders.<br />
&#8216;Evidence presented at trial included testimony from law enforcement officers and experts, medical examiners, and eye-witnesses, as well as surveillance video, recorded phone conversations, social media postings, DNA and ballistics evidence, and 11 firearms seized during the course of the investigation.&#8217;</div>
