Littlejohn also investigated for being hitman

[curious_mom]

A federal probe into Darryl Littlejohn’s suspected work as a hit man for a notorious New York drug gang has been hastily reassigned to a Long Island judge after cops began eyeing Littlejohn in the murder of Imette St. Guillen of Boston, according to a source and federal court records.

A source familiar with the investigation said authorities have been developing evidence that Littlejohn was involved in murders allegedly committed by a Queens gang formerly led by jailed drug kingpin Lorenzo “Fat Cat” Nichols.

The murder probe, which began when Littlejohn, 41, was in jail for bank robbery under the alias Jonathan Blaze, was reassigned on Tuesday to Judge Thomas C. Platt of the Eastern District of New York, federal court records show.

I think that is what strach was saying all along! Oh Lord this man has many layers it seems! Pretty scary!!

I had brought up the gang connection long before that on the first Imette thread.
Nichols is associated with Kenneth Mcgriff the founder of "The Supreme Team" gang.They are involved in cocaine(and other drugs),interstate auto theft rings,porn,rackateering,money laundering(alot of it dealing with "gangsta" rap record labels,prison activities and so on.
McGriff had control of the Baisley Park Projects in South Jamacia.These gang members ran around wearing paramilitary clothing.From what I have heard,Littlejohn wore this around his neighborhood.

This article is long but you should read it;
Parts of it,



In 1987, the Supreme Team was allied with another drug gang, led by Lorenzo ("Fat Cat") Nichols, that supplied the Supreme Team with powder cocaine. Nichols suspected two men, Henry and Isaac Bolden, of robbing Nichols's organization. While Nichols was incarcerated, he sought Miller's assistance in locating the Boldens so that Nichols's crew members could kill them.

To obtain that information, Miller sought the help of two corrupt New York State Parole Division employees, Parole Officer Ina McGriff (not related to Kenneth McGriff) and secretary Ronnie Younger. Ina McGriff was responsible for supervising the parole of Supreme Team security chief Ernesto Piniella but had become romantically involved with him; Younger had become romantically involved with Miller. The Team regularly paid both women for corrupt assistance. For example, McGriff falsely certified that Piniella was in compliance with parole requirements; she and Younger provided the gang leaders with information from their parole files, false identification documents, and information about the whereabouts of other parolees; and McGriff, who as a Parole Officer carried a gun, supplied Supreme Team members with ammunition.

Piniella and Ina McGriff testified that Miller paid the two women $3,000 for the addresses for the two Boldens and their families. Handwritten notes of such addresses were recovered in a raid of a Supreme Team apartment; the notes were written in part by Younger, according to a handwriting expert's testimony, and in part by Ina McGriff, according to her own testimony. The notes provided Henry Bolden's address in the Bronx, where, thereafter, he was shot; and they provided Isaac Bolden's mother's address, in the immediate vicinity of which he was thereafter shot and killed. In 1987, Ina McGriff also gave Piniella copies of Parole Division documents indicating that Supreme Team member James Page was cooperating with authorities. Upon receiving that information, Kenneth McGriff, who had just been arrested on federal charges, ordered that Page be killed; Piniella subsequently arranged Page's murder.

Here is the link for the entire document.

Hi guys I'm here, I'll be bouncing around and in and out. Dark Shadows you forgot to post the link, I do wanna read the rest if you have it. In Imette's case it probably isn't gonna turn out to be a gang related hit though but you guys see why I was so anxious for LE to understand what they were dealing with. I have a sneaking suspicion the bank robbery partner is the friend of his I knew. Now we know what and where the warrant in Balto. was for but I'd think the statute of limitations had run out on those charges and I'm willing to bet they tie into his chop shop activities from that time. They were into quite a bit of illegal activities and home base was NY but they were branched out all along the east coast about 10 years ago.

Thanking you Dark Shadows for the great read for what it was about, man oh man that was like a movie in print. But, I could not find the link????? to finish the written movie;) These folks are pure evil as I know it. blessings, annie:twocents:

[dark_shadows]

Hi Strach:) ,

Sorry I forgot the link.

Hi there Annie Mae,
Funny that you say that it is like something out of a movie.....
Apparently the movie "New Jack City was based on McGriff and his gang.The names were changed,including the main charactor.
The housing project that I spoke about a few posts back was the supposed place,and they dressed in military clothing just like the real gang.

I haven't read the article, but I wanted to add that the Murder Inc label (Ja Rule and Ashanti) is affiliated with McGriff. I think he just came off trial for money laundering/drugs. I am guessing the link probably elaborates on that more.

I also wanted to add that both Dorrian's Red Hand and the Falls are definitely rumored to be coke bars. I myself, saw someone do a line off the FLOOR of Dorrian's during my first and only outing there. I had forgotten I'd been there before until my boyfriend reminded me.

[concernedperson]

That could be why there are no security cameras at The Falls. Customer identification is probably frowned upon.

I posted a link this morning on the media thread to a blog about the gorilla gangs and it details the history and background of how it all started, names names, seperates the facts from fiction and also details about the movies, rappers and all that to do with them including the basis for The New Jack City movie and more.

Yes Dark Shadows they are the ones that dressed up in the army fatigues and these are the east coast gangs that Tupac Shakur was involved with and then they were feuding with the west coast murder inc. death row etc.
Anyone here who's never seen New Jack City I would highly recommend it as it shows just how organized they were and how they took over the streets and drug trade from the Italian Mafia. I remember it all in real time, they were famous for using the uzi's and AK47's just very crazy like the mobs during prohibition.

[dragonfly]

Thanks dark_shadow and strach304, This is real eye opening stuff!

Poor Imette God bless her soul, never graduated and became an FBI agent but she may still be responsible for taking down a very big FISH.

[Insomniac]

That could be why there are no security cameras at The Falls. Customer identification is probably frowned upon.I think Curtis Sliwa was hinting at that last night, when he said the falls might have wanted a bouncer who can sniff out law enforcement to protect the uh, other interests of the bar. Sliwa certainly knows first-hand stuff. Talk about a bumpy ride.

[strach304]

Now don't forget DC was a major war zone where they were operating out of back then, the cops would not go into those boroughs back then, they were using automatics had major weapons and manpower. NYC was really bad in the 80's but they couldn't overtake the whole city there like they did in DC. Puff Daddy is another that was tied to them back then, who knows about now?

I never even saw the media link site before.But I did just go look at it.
I found the info today by putting in Nichols name in yahoo search.The website that you posted(gorilla site) was on that search when I put Nichols name in along with South Jamacia.

The link on post #11 states about that.

Surveilling 50 Cent

Investigators: Fearful rapper targeted by New York druglord

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/graphics/art3/0906051inside1.jpg SEPTEMBER 6--Rapper 50 Cent told federal agents that he fears for his life due to a long-running dispute with a New York drug dealer facing charges that he was the secret power behind one of hip-hop's leading labels. The performer (real name: Curtis Jackson) survived a 2000 murder attempt that investigators (and Fiddy himself) believe was orchestrated by Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0426043murder1.html), a convicted Queens druglord. A 2003 search warrant affidavit for the Manhattan offices of the Murder, Inc. record label contended that McGriff was still trying to whack 50 Cent and that he "communicates with Murder, Inc. employees concerning the target." Excerpts from the document, authored by IRS agent Francis Mace, are below. "McGriff is tracking 50 Cent's whereabouts through his network of associates," Mace alleged, with his cronies sending ad hoc surveillance reports to McGriff's pager, which was provided to him by the rap label, headed by McGriff's boyhood pal Irving Lorenzo (aka Irv Gotti). One such urgent field report to McGriff--sent by Lorenzo's brother Chris--noted the performer's presence in his old Queens stomping ground: "50 is in the hood guy r. brewer!" Guy R. Brewer Boulevard is in the heart of McGriff's criminal turf. The Mace affidavit noted that while 50 Cent declined to speak about his own shooting, he agreed to be interviewed about the October 2002 murder of Jason Mizell, Run-DMC's Jam Master Jay.

[strach304]

Thanks Shadows I hadn't gotten around to reading those yet but I suspected he was because it's a lifetime expectation so to speak.

[newtv]

talk about the woman murdered as being in the wrong place at the wrong time-how could anyone have known there is so much going on with this group of thugs.

I dont believe he did this alone either-I am sure they all know what happened and are just playing with police-they have more to lose by coming clean..and clean isnt something these scumbags care about..
they are now dodging levels of convictions is all-the more lies and the less truth= "maybe i wont be caught", for xyz crime only abc..type thing.

I am not well read on this case so I may be repeating posts-There is so much to it that I dont know where to start and I cant wait to get to the end so I know whats current.
I am sure on board with everyone-and sick to my stomach every time i think about the way savage beast behave toward humanity.

[nanandjim]

I think Red Hand is more than rumored to be a coke bar. Lot of coke, underage drinking there.
I figured that's why they waited a week to come forward via a lawyer with information concerning Imette. They probably wanted to make sure The Falls was clean of all drugs and illegal activities.

[dark_shadows]

Tipper,I feel the same as you.
Just think how many kids look up to freaks like that.It makes me sick to see these dogs basking in all the money and fame that they have,killing people,hooking kids on drugs,letting kids,teens,and others see what riches they have by living a dirty dangerous life.

I put that link there because he is linked to the rest and now he is crying that he fears for his :boohoo: life.

[annie mae]

Dark Shadow. I did not know about that movie but I have seen it. In fact I watched it about 2 weeks ago I think on Fox movie channel. I have The Dish LOL, and lot's of movie channels so it might have been another one???? Now I will have to tune it in again. Anyway, 3-7-06 Oklahoma Feds and State guys arrested 53 people and charged them with a variety of drug charges, YES the big METH.This bust resulted in a 10 month investigation thru-out Central OK. and Northern TX. But here's the kicker, to me anyway, this bust did not net any of Oklahoma boy's as the ring leaders. This drug business was established in our region by the violent street gang from CHICAGO, my God Chicago, big leagues, named Satan Disciples. This is a big deal here because like I said all of our bust come from out-in-the-boon-docks country, trailer home, via the good-ole-boys. (my slang) Meth Labs. They bust them here like traffic tickets with Meth Labs. Anyway had to share that you all. I think they have the right guy on this murder. I lit candles for the Imette. blessings, annie:twocents:

[dark_shadows]

Hi Annie Mae,

Thank-you for the info.
No gang is a good gang and I see gang members all day long.The gang you are speaking of changed their name to "Insane Gangster Satan Disciples".
Once again,thank-you.

Would The Falls have been more likely than other bars to allow people to stay and drink after closing? That is what it seemed that Imette was wanting her friend to join her in doing?

[scandi]

Just had to stop by and say how good it is to read your posts again Txvicki! Yesterday I saw another name that jogged my brain, but I don't think it is the same Crabapple. Took me back to all the reading I did in the Peterson case.

I've never been there so I really can't say. However, I will say that most of the coke bars I know of typically do serve after hours. If there was a strong police presence on that street I doubt they served past 4am. However, it doesn't sound like there was that strong of a police presence in that area.

The bar I used to work at was by no means trendy, more like an Irish dive, regular type of bar. After 4 months I started working nights and heard from various people that "so and so" would let them stay until at least 6am. They hated me at the end of the one night a week shift I would work. I gave last call at 3:30am and by 3:55 I was done with my side work and shoved everyone out of the bar. I didn't care who I made mad IMO there was no idea for anyone to need a drink after 4am and if you did that's your problem, not mine. Anyway, I also quickly learned that the bar I worked at was a coke bar and I was shocked to discover it was easier to find someone who used coke than find someone who didn't like myself. Needless to say, once my money situation turned around and I didn't truly need the job, I was out of there. The scariest part was that we didn't have a bouncer at our bar and I depended on my guy friends who would stay to watch me when I closed by myself. I always had a false sense of security due to the police station on the next block. But then I realized what a load of crap that was considering my fellow bartenders stayed open two hours past closing and condoned drug use and the cops let it happen.

That said, as messed up as the bar was that I worked at, NOT ONE of the employees would ever throw a drunk girl out on the street to manage by herself. The Dorrians (manager and bartender) should be held accountable for their callous behavior and disregard for Imette. IMO the Dorrians did have knowledge of and may have participated in or encouraged the illegal goings on at their bars and pathetically tried to cover their own butts. No owner has that much presence in their bar and isn't aware of what goes on late night. Why would they let a thug like DL walk around their establishment carrying a gun and wearing a bulletproof vest? IMO they liked the power vibe he exuded and the extra business/money he brought into the bar.

I don't have a whole lot of familiarity with coke bars, but I do know that bars that are lax about one thing (minors drinking, after hours drinking, reusing discarded food) tend to be lax about others. I think that there is a wide range of closing time behavior: A East Village restaurant/bar I went to for years locked the doors, but let regulars stay around for free drinks and usually liberal tips. The famous Max's Kansas City would lock the doors, but serve regulars in the backroom. Others put the clocks ahead to get even stragglers out before closing. In any case, there is no enforceable law against finishing drinks after four and in some bars, the staff and a few regulars hang out for an hour or two.

As for bouncers, I think that some owners are more concerned with biceps than with unblemished records.
