Alieu Jarjou, also known as “Scally” and “Lu Scally,” pled guilty on April 3 before U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos to charges related to his involvement with the Rollin 20s set of the Crips, including the murder of Jadon Robinson in March 2021, according to United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about violent gang activity in New York City. Authorities say that gangs such as the Rollin 20s Crips have contributed to violence and drug trafficking in local communities.
“On March 9, 2021, Alieu Jarjou shot and killed 30-year-old Jadon Robinson on a busy Bronx street in the middle of the day,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton. “Jarjou committed this brutal murder to enhance his status within the Rollin 20s Crips, a violent street gang that has terrorized our communities through senseless violence and drug trafficking. There is stark reality that we need to face: for gangs like the Crips, murder is a part of business, and for gang members, murder is a status symbol. Those who tolerate, or worse, celebrate gang culture could not be more out of touch. New York families want gangs dismantled and their murderous members off the streets. The women and men of our Office are committed to relentlessly pursuing all gangs that threaten the safety of New Yorkers.”
According to statements made during court proceedings and public filings, Jarjou was an active member of the Rollin 20s Crips from at least January 2021 through January 2022 in Bronx County. The group engaged in activities such as murders, assaults, threats of violence, and narcotics trafficking—including selling oxycodone and marijuana—to fund operations and protect territory.
Jarjou admitted he murdered Robinson after learning Robinson was suspected of assaulting another member of his gang.
He pled guilty to one count each of racketeering conspiracy involving murder—which carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment—and using or carrying a firearm during a crime of violence with brandishing or discharge—which also carries up to life imprisonment with a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years. Sentencing is scheduled for August 18.
Clayton praised law enforcement efforts by NYPD investigators involved in bringing Jarjou’s case forward.
