<p>In the underworld, death is always around the corner. Especially if one was to run into two men nicknamed “Savage” and “Murda Mo,” both are North Carolina members of the United Blood Nation (<a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=UBN" target="_blank">UBN</a> or <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Bloods" target="_blank">Bloods</a>) gang who pleaded guilty Friday to Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) conspiracy involving multiple <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Murder" target="_blank">murders</a>.</p>
<p>“Savage” his real name is Tyquan Ramont Powell, a 24-year-old from Charlotte, while “Murda Mo” is really named Lamonte Kentrell Lloyd, a 25-year-old from Scotland Neck. They admitted their membership in the United Blood Nation and involvement in murder and <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Robbery" target="_blank">robbery</a> in support of the organization.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Murder and robbery in North Carolina</strong></span></p>
<p>Powell and Lloyd committed two murders and three attempted murders over the course of less than a month. They committed the first murder in Scotland Neck, North Carolina, in January 2016 by shooting into a car with three occupants because they believed that one of the occupants was cooperating with law enforcement and intended to testify in a criminal case against a close associate of the defendants. Bullets struck all three occupants and the intended target of the shooting was killed. They then fled to, among other places, Charlotte, North Carolina, where they sought and received refuge and resources from UBN members and associates while attempting to evade arrest.</p>

</ul>
<p>Their murderous streak continued a month later in Gastonia, North Carolina, in February 2016, where they attempted to rob four victims using handguns. When the victims resisted the robbery attempt, Powell fired his firearm and killed one of the victims. That same month, Powell and Lloyd attempted to rob another victim. Lloyd shot the victim in the back of the head, but the victim was effectively treated for his injuries at the hospital and lived.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Major hit against UBN</strong></span></p>
<p>In May 2017, <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/83-bosses-and-members-of-united-blood-nation-indicted" target="_blank">83 members of the United Blood Nation</a> were indicted in the Western District of North Carolina for crimes including RICO conspiracy. 78 defendants have now either pleaded guilty or been convicted at trial due to this investigation, and 68 have been sentenced. A jury convicted three top leaders of the UBN of racketeering conspiracy in May 2018, and one defendant was convicted of racketeering conspiracy and wire fraud conspiracy at trial in July 2019. 74 defendants have pleaded guilty in this investigation, including four who participated in the racketeering conspiracy by, among other crimes, committing a murder in July 2016 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Power of the United Blood Nation</strong></span></p>
<p>According to court documents and evidence presented at a May 2018 trial against <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/prison-bars-couldn-t-stop-powerful-godfathers-of-united-blood-nat" target="_blank">the godfathers of the United Blood Nation</a>, the UBN is a violent criminal <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Gangs" target="_blank">street gang</a> operating throughout the east coast of the United States since it was founded as a prison gang in 1993. Its members are often identified by their use of the color red and can also often be identified by common tattoos or burn marks. Examples include: a three-circle pattern, usually burned onto the upper arm, known as a “dog paw”; the acronym “M.O.B.,” which stands for “Member of Bloods”; the words “damu,” or “eastside”; the number five; the five-pointed star and the five-pointed crown. UBN members have distinct hand signs and written codes, which are used to identify other members and rival gang members.</p>

</ul>
<p>Members of the UBN are expected to conduct themselves and their illegal activity according to rules and regulations set by their leaders. Prominent among these is a requirement to pay monthly dues to the organization, often in the amounts of $31 or $93. UBN gang dues are derived from illegal activity performed by subordinate UBN members including narcotics trafficking, robberies and wire fraud, among other forms of illegal racketeering activity.</p>

<p>Two high-ranking leaders of the Nine Trey Gangsters set of the United Blood Nation (UBN), including the Godfather, 45-year-old Pedro “Magoo” Gutierrez (left), who also served as Chairman, and 45-year-old James Baxton (right), also known as “Frank White”, who held the rank of Worldwide High, were each sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in prison for racketeering conspiracy.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/federal-jury-convicts-two-godfathers-of-united-blood-nation-of-ra" target="_blank">prosecutors</a>, Gutierrez was a Godfather of the Nine Trey Gangsters and had served since 2003 as the Chairman of the council that governs the <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=UBN" target="_blank">UBN</a>. Gutierrez, together with James Baxton and <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/united-blood-nation-godfather-says-he-is-part-of-the-last-ones-th" target="_blank">Omari Rosero</a>, considered themselves “<a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/united-blood-nation-godfather-says-he-is-part-of-the-last-ones-th" target="_blank">the last ones that God put in power</a>” over the UBN.</p>

</ul>
<p>As the Godfather of the set, Gutierrez, along with Baxton, conducted gang business and participated in the distribution of gang dues while incarcerated in the New York State Department of Corrections.</p>
<p>Trial evidence also established that Gutierrez ordered a <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=War" target="_blank">gang war</a> in North Carolina in 2011, directing that members of the <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Bloods" target="_blank">Bloods gang</a> attack and kill members of a renegade gang called Pretty Tony. The war resulted in numerous injuries among inmates and the lockdown of five North Carolina prisons for six months.</p>
<p>As a Worldwide High of the Nine Trey Gangsters, Baxton, while incarcerated in the New York State Department of Corrections, trafficked <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Heroin" target="_blank">heroin</a> within the prison system and engaged in wire fraud by threatening the relatives of other incarcerated inmates.</p>

</ul>
<p>“With today’s sentencings of two violent gang leaders, including the purported Godfather of the Nine Trey Gangsters, law enforcement has delivered yet another devastating blow to the Nine Trey Gangsters and the United Blood Nation,” said Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski. “The defendants committed crimes that spanned the East Coast, including trafficking deadly narcotics in North Carolina and New York and ordering a gang war in North Carolina. As demonstrated by the 61 defendants now adjudicated guilty in this case, when federal, state, and local law enforcement work together in sustained efforts, we can disrupt and erode violent prison and street gangs.”</p>
<p>In all, 61 defendants have been found guilty in this case.</p>

<p>Two men who hold the rank of Godfather in the Nine Trey Gangsters set of the United Blood Nation were convicted on Thursday of racketeering conspiracy charges. 44-year-old James Baxton (photo above, right), known on the streets as Frank White, and 45-year-old Pedro “Magoo” Gutierrez (photo above, left) were found guilty by a federal jury sitting in Charlotte following a two-week trial.</p>
<p>Prosecutors presented evidence in court showing that Gutierrez was a Godfather of the <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Bloods" target="_blank">Nine Trey Gangsters</a> and had served since 2003 as the Chairman of the council that governs the <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=UBN" target="_blank">United Blood Nation</a>, an organization with tens of thousands of members that spans the United States and has links to the <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/the-lucchese-crime-family" target="_blank">Lucchese crime family</a>, one of New York’s five Mafia clans.</p>
<p>Gutierrez, together with James Baxton and <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/united-blood-nation-godfather-says-he-is-part-of-the-last-ones-th" target="_blank">Omari Rosero</a>, were “<a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/united-blood-nation-godfather-says-he-is-part-of-the-last-ones-th" target="_blank">the last ones that God put in power</a>” over the United Blood Nation. Rosero had already pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy and admitted to holding the leadership rank of High, and to serving as an acting Godfather of the entire United Blood Nation gang.</p>

</ul>
<p>As the Godfather of the set, Gutierrez, along with Baxton, conducted gang business and participated in the distribution of gang dues while incarcerated in the New York State Department of Corrections.</p>
<p>Trial evidence also established that Gutierrez ordered a <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=War" target="_blank">gang war</a> in North Carolina in 2011 directing that members of the Bloods gang attack and kill members of a renegade gang called Pretty Tony. The war resulted in numerous injuries among inmates and the lockdown of five North Carolina prisons for six months.</p>
<p>Further, trial evidence established that 42-year-old Cynthia Gilmore, who trafficked cocaine, was a local high-ranking officer who routinely traveled from North Carolina to New York to meet with Gutierrez, acting as his “eyes” and “voice” in the South. The evidence also showed that Baxton was trafficking <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Heroin" target="_blank">heroin</a> within the New York State and prison system. He also was calling and threatening the family members of inmates incarcerated in New York State in an effort to obtain money.</p>
<p>“United Blood Nation uses violence and intimidation to assert power over our neighborhoods and vicious tactics to bolster the image of an indestructible gang,” said U.S. Attorney R. Andrew Murray. “Today’s convictions of three high-ranking leaders delivered a blow to that myth, proving that United Blood Nation gangsters are no different than other common criminals – they can and will be found and prosecuted for their crimes.”</p>
<p>35 defendants have previously pleaded guilty in this <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/83-bosses-and-members-of-united-blood-nation-indicted" target="_blank">investigation</a>, including nine defendants in high-ranking leadership positions.</p>
