A heavily tattooed leader of the Long Island Bloods gang will spend the rest of his life in prison for a slew of racketeering-related charges, including shootings, assaults and burglaries, that were part of a “campaign of violence” against rivals.
Howard “Mousey” Davis, 36, of Bellport, New York, was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison plus 132 years by a federal judge in Central Islip, U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said in a statement.
“Davis and his gang have tormented our Long Island neighbors for years,” Peace said. “Today’s sentence ends his reign of terror.”
The heavily tattooed gangster led the violent G-Shine group of the Bloods street gang and was convicted in June 2021 of participating in three shootings, directing two other shootings that injured two people and on another occasion ordering armed henchmen to break into two homes and rob two people, according to a federal release.
Prosecutors added that the suspect also shattered people’s noses and kneecaps in bar fights, sold hard drugs including fentanyl, heroin and crack and possessed numerous guns.
Prosecutors alleged that Davis had standing orders to kill specific rivals whenever and wherever he was found.
However, his brutality, which lasted from June 2016 to November 2017, apparently did not end after his arrest.
Peace said Davis, also known as “Mr. Fedap,” convinced the mother of one of his children to lie to a federal grand jury and convinced another child to smuggle drugs into the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan over Christmas 2018.
The complaint alleges he committed nine disciplinary violations while in prison, including assault and slashing the victim, leaving cuts on his face.
Ivan J. Albero, director of the New York office of the Department of Homeland Security Investigations, said Tuesday that Davis was a “prolific gang leader who committed violent crimes that terrorized communities across Long Island.”
“He actively recruited other members of the Bloods to continue the same atrocities,” Albero said. “Today’s sentence effectively strips him of the violent power he once wielded with impunity.”
Pease said Davis was convicted of all 48 charges laid out in the indictment, including attempted murder, assault, robbery, drug and firearm possession.
