narrative
Robert Wilson, a/k/a 'RO' and 'Sin,' a member of the Stevenson Commons Crew gang, was sentenced to 37 years in prison by U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman for racketeering, narcotics conspiracy, and a firearms offense tied to the January 6, 2019, murder of Nelson Ramos in the Soundview neighborhood of the Bronx. Wilson and his associates systematically used violence and drug trafficking to fund and protect their criminal enterprise, including a September 13, 2018, robbery in which they severely beat a victim. The murder of Ramos was planned and executed to maintain the gang’s dominance in the area, as detailed in court filings and Wilson’s guilty plea. Co-defendants Kevin Crosby and Marquis Yohanis were previously sentenced to 25 and over 24 years, respectively, while Yefrel Brito was scheduled for sentencing in December 2022. The case was prosecuted by the Southern District of New York’s Violent and Organized Crime Unit, with investigative support from the NYPD, Homeland Security Investigations, and the NYC Department of Investigation. In addition to his prison term, Wilson was ordered to serve five years of supervised release upon completion of his sentence. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams emphasized that the sentence reflected justice for Ramos and his family after years of gang-related violence in the community.
