Overview
- The new filing adds overt acts that prosecutors say show a pattern of intimidation, violence and control tied to Eugene “Big U” Henley.
- Intercepted calls from Dec. 31, 2022 and Jan. 1, 2023 allegedly captured Henley saying he was “bigger” than Nipsey Hussle, claiming he “disciplined” him, and stating, “I’m a kill him. Period. I. Am. Going. To. Murder. Him.”
- Prosecutors allege Henley discussed ordering beatings and potential killings, including claiming he had a Rollin’ 60s member known as “OG Crip Cuz” beaten for disrespect.
- Additional acts include an alleged threat to “mess up” a South L.A. business over a refused discount, boasts about carrying “two blowers,” paying others for assaults, and talk of being able to kill in rival Grape Street territory.
- The superseding indictment also alleges contraband smuggling through phone sales to inmates, and it does not charge Henley in Hussle’s death; he denies wrongdoing as the case moves toward a federal trial.
