<h2>MURDER USA Member of Cherry Hill Group ‘Little Spelman’ Sentenced to 12 Years in Prison for Drug Distribution Conspiracy</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Baltimore, Maryland – U.S. District Judge George L. Russell III sentenced Shaquan Robinson, a/k/a Quanny, age 26, of Baltimore, to 12 years in prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release, for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute heroin and crack cocaine, related to his drug dealing and violence in the Cherry Hill section of Baltimore.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<h2>Two days after Martin killed Price, on January 22, 2011, Little Spelman associate Harry Hicks was shot and killed by Up Da Hill members in retaliation for Price’s murder. On April 9, 2011, Martin shot and killed Up Da Hill member Dwight Taylor at a barbershop on W. Saratoga Street in Baltimore, in retaliation for Hicks’ murder. Robinson was in the barbershop during the murder. A ballistics comparison of the .45 caliber firearm that Martin used to kill Taylor revealed that it was the same gun used on January 28, 2011, by Dominic Hope, the former leader of Little Spelman, to shoot Up Da Hill member Antione White, who was leaving the funeral of Rhidell Price. Dominic Hope was subsequently shot and killed on January 20, 2012.</h2>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">According to his plea agreement, Robinson was a member of a group known as “Little Spelman.” From at least 2003 to 2013, Little Spelman operated in the “down the hill” area of Cherry Hill. This group committed acts of robbery, homicides, non-fatal shootings and drug distribution, to include crack cocaine, heroin, cocaine, and marijuana.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The court records in the case show that beginning in at least 2010, Robinson was a drug distributor in Cherry Hill, distributing crack cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and other drugs with members of Little Spelman. In May 2013, Robinson was seen by law enforcement on CCTV engaging in hand to hand drug transactions on a school playground. When police approached the playground, Robinson attempted to conceal the drugs, but police recovered two Ziplocs of marijuana from a bag Robinson had thrown on the ground</span> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">and recovered 24 Ziplocs of cocaine and $51 from Robinson. Robinson admitted that he also possessed a firearm in furtherance of the drug conspiracy. On July 8, 2012, officers approached a group of men with whom Robinson was standing. Robinson ran away holding a loaded handgun in the waistband of his pants then tossed the gun into the front yard of a home, where it was recovered by police.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In addition to drug activity, since at least 2011, members of Little Spelman have been in a dispute with members of an organization involved in the distribution of narcotics and violence that operates primarily in the part of Cherry Hill known as “Up the Hill” or “Up da Hill.” Members and associates of Little Spelman protected themselves, the organization, and their control of the drug trade in part of the Down the Hill section of Cherry Hill, and engaged in their dispute with UDH, through violence and intimidation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For example, Little Spelman member Davon Martin admitted that on January 20, 2011, he shot and killed UDH member Rhidell Price. Martin killed Price in retaliation for Martin and another Little Spelman member, Dewayne Jones, being shot at by Up Da Hill members a few days earlier. Dewayne Jones was subsequently shot and killed on August 28, 2011.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Two days after Martin killed Price, on January 22, 2011, Little Spelman associate Harry Hicks was shot and killed by Up Da Hill members in retaliation for Price’s murder. On April 9, 2011, Martin shot and killed Up Da Hill member Dwight Taylor at a barbershop on W. Saratoga Street in Baltimore, in retaliation for Hicks’ murder. Robinson was in the barbershop during the murder. A ballistics comparison of the .45 caliber firearm that Martin used to kill Taylor revealed that it was the same gun used on January 28, 2011, by Dominic Hope, the former leader of Little Spelman, to shoot Up Da Hill member Antione White, who was leaving the funeral of Rhidell Price. Dominic Hope was subsequently shot and killed on January 20, 2012.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Davon Martin, age 27, of Baltimore, was previously sentenced to 35 years in prison.</span></p>
