A drill rapper who joined Donald Trump on stage at a rally in the Bronx in 2024 has pled guilty to attempted murder.
Drill rapper Sheff G (right) accepted a plea offer of 5 years in prison after pleading guilty to attempted murder charges.
Sheff G, real name Michael Williams, is a reputed member of the 8 Trey Crips.
Another gang member, Tegan Chambers, aka Sleepy Hallow, also appeared on stage with Trump and Sheff G during the May 23, 2024, campaign rally in the Bronx.
Multiple members of the Crips and the street gang’s affiliate, the 9 Ways gang were indicted for “terrorizing” the streets of New York, according to the prosecutor’s office.
Prosecutors say Sheff G showered money and jewelry on gang members after shootouts with rival gangs in Brooklyn.
Sheff G allegedly acted as the getaway driver for three co-defendants after a 2021 shooting that targeted a gang rival. Stray bullets hit two bystanders.
Sleepy Hallow and others allegedly celebrated the murder of a rival gang member during a lavish dinner at a Manhattan steakhouse in 2020. The shooting that killed the gang member also injured five others, according to prosecutors.
Sheff G is due to be sentenced on August 13, while Sleepy Hallow is due in court on April 11.
President Trump had no way of knowing that Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow were violent gang members when he invited them to join him on stage at the Bronx rally.
At the time, the then-candidate was himself in trouble with the law.
Trump was on trial in Manhattan for white collar crimes when he held the Bronx rally to boost support among Black and Hispanic voters.
