SENTENCING IN GANG/FIREARM CASE: United States District Judge Pamela K. Chen, in federal court in Brooklyn, has sentenced, “Mac Baller Brims Bloods” street gang member Danari Aiken to 11 years’ imprisonment for two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Aiken, who is allegedly also associated with the “From Nothing” street gang based in the Lincoln Towers development in East New York, pleaded guilty to both counts last December.
In the Brooklyn incident, that took place in November, 2020, Aiken led NYPD officers on a high-speed chase in Brooklyn when they attempted to stop the vehicle he was driving for disobeying a traffic device. After smashing into a garbage truck and nearly striking several pedestrians, Aiken was apprehended when his path was blocked by a parked fire truck.
