Mel Murda Sentenced In 6ix9ine & Nine Trey Blood Case
Jamel “Mel Murda” Jones was reportedly sentenced to 135 months (or 11.25 years) in federal prison.
Inner City Press reports Judge Paul Engelmayer handed down the decision today during a hearing at Manhattan’s Thurgood Marshall Courthouse. Upon completion of his sentence, Mel will also have five years of probation and have to pay $10,000 in forfeiture.
The government says Mel had reached “Godfather” status among the “street lineup” of Nine Trey. He also part of Jim Jones’ Byrdgang rap collective and is featured on several Dipset tracks.
During Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack’s trial last month, Jim Jones was identified as “Individual-1” during an wiretapped phone call with Mel. During the conversation, Mel said 6ix9ine had to be “super-violated” for disavowing the gang when speaking with The Breakfast Club last November.
In April, Mel pleaded guilty to racketeering and narcotics offences for being a part of Nine Trey and transporting heroin and fentanyl. Last November, Mel sold heroin to an undercover New York Police Department officer and he was arrested shortly after.
