Rhodes is accused of shooting and killing Christopher Jones in May 2016.

Later that month, he allegedly killed Ordway and Gordon. Police have said the two were killed at Rhodes' home in Clifton. Their bodies were dumped in the Shawnee neighborhood and set on fire.

Rhodes allegedly killed the two brothers because he feared they would tell police about his involvement in Jones' murder.

Rhodes is being held on a $1 million full cash bond.

A Manhattan police officer fired at suspected members of a violent gang dubbed Own Every Dollar as they cased a high-end restaurant in the latest of 12 jewelry heists they are believed to be behind.

The 'vicious' robbery ring's latest crime saw the group checking out Pergola restaurant in NoMad, Manhattan, at around 1.15am on Monday before a Manhattan police officer opened fire on the suspected crooks.

Officers recognized a BMW parked nearby that matched the description of a car linked with an array of jewelry heists and attempted to stop the vehicle, the New York Post reported.

The driver jumped a curb and almost ran down pedestrians before an officer stopped the car by firing through its windshield. One suspect was arrested while two suspects ran away and are being searched for by police.

The robbers, who call themselves OED for 'Own Every Dollar' and were described as 'vicious' by a Manhattan officer, are thought to be responsible for least 12 jewelry robberies across New York in the last four months.

The ring, who are linked to the notorious Trinitarios gang in The Bronx, netted in more than $4million in jewelry and watches in just one theft and are suspected to be involved in at least one homicide, according to police sources.

The group pulled of the brazen thefts in BMWs and Mercedes-Benz vehicles across Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx, and on Monday, police officers recognised a BMW parked nearby as the gang cased Pergola bistro.

The vehicle drew the attention of officers as it matched the description of a car that was tied to an array of jewelry thefts in upscale areas of the city, according to sources.

The officers are understood to have moved in after a check showed that the plate did not match the vehicle and cops tried to stop the car on West 28th Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues.

Something went badly wrong in the life of 17-year-old Iquan Warlick of Brooklyn, a baby-faced high schooler who showed promise playing football and basketball — and who according to cops threw it away by picking up a gun and leading a gangsta life.

Warlick, who lived with his mother at the Ingersoll Houses in Fort Greene, is accused of involvement in four homicides in pandemic-ravaged 2020.

 “Insane cowboy” is how a law enforcement source described Warlick.

How he became an accused adolescent killer four times over isn’t clear to investigators. But Warlick has offered at least one clue.

Several years ago, Richard Grundy III received what a federal prosecutor hailed as the “plea deal of a century.”

On Thursday, Grundy received the sentence of a lifetime. Quite literally.

Grundy, 30 was sentenced Thursday at the U.S. federal courthouse to a mandatory life sentence after a jury convicted him of charges related to a drug organization that authorities said sold marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin in Indianapolis.

During his sentencing hearing, federal prosecutor Bradley Blackington said Grundy would never have found himself in this situation if he had just learned from his mistakes and taken advantage of that previous plea deal.

Grundy had been on law enforcement’s radar since 2014. In 2015, they finally nabbed the then-accused leader of the “Grundy Crew” on five counts of murder and a slew of other felonies in Marion County.

 A man behind a kidnapping case that triggered an Amber Alert in 2015 has been found guilty.

39-year-old John Thomas of Detroit was found guilty in a federal courtroom on Monday.

On March 2, 2015, Thomas and five accomplices came from Detroit to Indianapolis and kidnapped two children. The children were the younger siblings of Whitney Blackwell, Thomas’s ex-girlfriend. Investigators said Blackwell had stolen drugs and drugs money from Thomas on Feb. 28. Testimony in court indicated that Thomas was a Detroit-based drug dealer.

Whitney Blackwell was placed on probation for drug possession.

Thomas and the co-conspirators took the children, ages 13 and 16, from the home in the 1200 block of LaSalle Street in the early morning hours.

Testimony at the sentencing hearings established that DAVIS was the head of the “Sin City Mafia,” a major criminal enterprise with headquarters in Columbus, GA; Atlanta, GA; and Los Angeles, CA. DAVIS obtained cocaine from California suppliers connected to major Mexican cartels and transported that cocaine to Atlanta by way of tractor trailers, private jets and through parcel post. Once the cocaine arrived in Atlanta, it was packaged for shipment various locales along the East Coast. DAVIS’ organization had ties to the Black Mafia Family (BMF), a criminal enterprise operating in Detroit, Atlanta, Orlando, Saint Louis and elsewhere.

The evidence established GRAHAM as one of DAVIS’ primary distributors, and that GRAHAM, KING and others associated with their organization personally supplied over 500 kilograms of cocaine sold in South Carolina. The evidence also showed that DAVIS, GRAHAM, KING and GLOSTER (DAVIS’ wife) lived lavish lifestyles and laundered the proceeds of their drug business in a number of ways. DAVIS, in particular, owned several million dollar residences titled in the names of his family members and associates.

All of the defendants entered guilty pleas. GRAHAM agreed to cooperate with the Government but lied about a number of his associates and failed a polygraph examination. Judge Herlong heard evidence for six hours during the sentencing hearing about the various breaches of GRAHAM’s plea agreement. During a break in the proceeding, GRAHAM pointed at the cooperating witness, made a shooting gesture with his fingers and then pointed at his own heart.

After hearing evidence, Judge Herlong ruled that GRAHAM had made numerous false statements to Government agents after his guilty plea and had breached his plea agreement in a number of material particulars. Judge Herlong also ruled that GRAHAM had threatened a witness during the course of the proceedings, and sentenced GRAHAM to a term of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

Judge Herlong sentenced GRAHAM to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He sentenced the other defendants as follows: DAVIS, to a term of 39 years, 10 months in prison; KING, 24 years, 8 months in prison; RIVERA, 3 years, 4 months in prison; and GLOSTER, 2 years in prison. Judge Herlong also ordered the forfeiture of millions of dollars in drug related assets. All of these sentences will be served without the possibility of parole, and agents have seized over $5 million dollars worth of drug related assets during the course of the South Carolina investigation.

DEA Atlanta Field Division Special Agent in Charge Rodney G. Benson said, “Drug traffickers may think they can find safe havens to conduct their filthy business, but they are kidding themselves. With the relentless cooperative efforts of federal, state and local law enforcement partners we work as one force committed to ensuring there is never a comfortable place for those who mock our laws and encourage our children to destroy their bodies. The court provided sentences today that reinforce that message.”

U.S. Attorney Reginald I. Lloyd noted that this investigation is one of the largest drug investigations ever handled by his office. He stated that the sentences handed down with respect to the leaders of this organization (GRAHAM, DAVIS and KING) send a message that drug dealing will not be tolerated.

Tommie L. Walker, a/k/a Columbia BT, and Juan Carlos Garcia-Martinez, a/k/a Carlos Garcia were arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Judge Linda T. Walker on September 21, 2018 on federal charges of drug trafficking and possession with intent to distribute cocaine.  Walker, Garcia-Martinez, and Samuel Anchondo-Galaviz were indicted by a federal grand jury on September 12, 2018.

“These defendants were allegedly part of a multi-state drug distribution scheme that transported and distributed cocaine worth approximately $4 million,” said U.S. Attorney Byung J. “BJay” Pak. “Thanks to the work of law enforcement in Georgia, South Carolina and Colorado, this drug enterprise is now history.”

“This investigation is an excellent example of the working relationships that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Atlanta-Carolinas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) have with their law enforcement partners,” said Robert J. Murphy, Special Agent in Charge of the Atlanta DEA Field Division. “The defendants were transporting large quantities of drugs throughout our neighborhoods, and the dismantlement of this criminal organization will have a positive local impact and sends a clear message that we will not tolerate illegal drug trafficking in our communities.”

According to U.S. Attorney Pak, the charges, and other information presented in court: Agents of the Atlanta-Carolina High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program began their investigation in August 2017 in conjunction with Drug Enforcement Administration agents in South Carolina and Colorado. Walker, who raps under the name “Columbia BT,” allegedly participated in a cocaine trafficking conspiracy that extended to Colorado, South Carolina, and Mexico.

Walker allegedly operated a warehouse in the Atlanta area where he received shipments of cocaine hidden in tractor-trailers. The shipments were sent by a co-conspirator in Colorado. Walker allegedly would then distribute the drugs to individuals from South Georgia and South Carolina. Garcia-Martinez is an alleged co-conspirator who facilitated some of Walker’s drug transactions.

Law enforcement officers seized more than 135 kilograms of cocaine from the organization, a quantity worth more than $4 million at current wholesale prices in Atlanta. Law enforcement also seized more than $220,000 in drug proceeds.

October 9, 2017, a tractor-trailer containing approximately 40 kilograms of cocaine, which was driven by Anchondo-Galaviz, was stopped on the way to Walker’s warehouse. Other seizures charged in the indictment took place on December 3, 2017 and February 21, 2018.  Walker allegedly used his illegal drug proceeds to finance a lavish lifestyle that he displayed in his rap videos. Some of the property seized from the alleged drug proceeds included a 2016 Rolls-Royce Dawn and a 2013 Bentley Mulsanne.

Tommie L. Walker, a/k/a Columbia BT, 42, of Kennesaw, Georgia is charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and three counts of possession with intent to distribute cocaine.

Juan Carlos Garcia-Martinez, a/k/a Carlos Garcia, 37, of Forest Park, Georgia, and Samuel Anchondo-Galaviz, 40, of New Mexico are each charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and one count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine. Members of the public are reminded that the indictment only contains charges.  The defendant is presumed innocent of the charges and it will be the government’s burden to prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.
