Description
FLINT, MI — Four Bloods gang members assaulted a 15-year-old boy and carved their gang name into his chest. Now, they will serve time in federal prison for doing so.
Doniel "50" Heard, 38 of Canton, Kimberly "Boss Lady Red" Perryman, 34 of Mt. Morris, and Alina "Mimi Red" White, 23 of Flint, were each sentenced Tuesday by United States District Judge Linda Parker to federal prison.
Heard was sentenced to 20 years behind bars. Parker sentenced Perryman to 80 months in federal prison and White was sentenced to three years in federal prison.
A fourth person, Talasha "First Lady Red" Willis 31 of Flint, was sentenced by Parker to 100 months in federal prison in 2019.
"This brutal and senseless act of violence on a 15-year old boy by gang members is appalling, and it is precisely the type of crime that we are committed to rooting out," acting United States Attorney Saima Mohsin said. "We intend to bring the full force of federal law upon gang members who are harming our youth and destroying our communities."
Heard, who has admitted to be a leader of the Michigan set of the national Bloods street gang, along with Perryman, Willis and White had believed the 15-year-old victim had disrespected two gang members, prompting them to punch, kick and stomp on him, court documents show.
The four gang members then beat the boy with a broomstick and robbed him, according to authorities.
After the beating, Perryman, Willis, and White held the boy down while Heard used a knife to carve the name of the local Bloods set, "MOB 662," into the boy's chest, according to court documents.
After carving into the boy's chest, Heard placed video calls via his cell phone to other gang members bragging about the assault and showing them his "artwork," documents show.
