Edward Y. Kim, the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Jessica S. Tisch, the Commissioner of the New York City Police Department (“NYPD”), announced today the unsealing of an Indictment charging ALIEU JARJOU, a/k/a “Scally,” a/k/a “Lu Scally,” with racketeering conspiracy, murder in aid of racketeering, and a firearms offense. The charges relate to JARJOU’s membership in the “Rollin 20s” set of the Crips gang and the March 9, 2021 murder of 30-year-old Jadon Robinson. JARJOU, who was in New York City Department of Correction custody, was transferred to federal custody earlier today and made his initial appearance in federal court in Manhattan. The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos.
Acting U.S. Attorney Edward Y. Kim said: “As alleged, Alieu Jarjou shot and killed Jadon Robinson on a busy Bronx street in the middle of the day. He committed this cold-blooded murder to enhance his status within the Rollin 20s Crips, a violent street gang that traffics in illegal drugs. Let this be a reminder that this Office and our law enforcement partners will catch and prosecute those who commit acts of violence in our streets.”
According to the allegations in the Indictment unsealed today in Manhattan federal court:[1]
From at least January 2021 through at least January 2022, JARJOU was a member of the Rollin 20s Crips, which is based in the Bronx, New York. In order to fund the gang, protect its territory, and promote its standing, members of the Rollin 20s Crips engaged in, among other things, murders, assaults, threats of violence, and narcotics trafficking.
On March 9, 2021, JARJOU murdered Jadon Robinson in the vicinity of 1268 Morrison Avenue in the Bronx, New York. Jadon Robinson was 30 years old.
