"I paid a person to shoot at a rival member of Nine Trey to scare him," he says admitting to his charges "The shooting took place in Manhattan. I did this to maintain or increase my own standing in Nine Trey."

He risk getting minimum prison sentence of 47 years if the Court overruled his plea and the deal he struck with his prosecutors in other to reduce his sentence.
