Timothy Spence, a 21-year-old gang member, has pleaded guilty in a Brooklyn federal court to charges of assault in aid of racketeering and discharging a firearm during a violent crime. This plea is linked to a tragic shooting incident at the Taste of the City Lounge in Crown Heights on August 17, 2025, where three individuals were killed and ten others injured after more than 40 shots were fired in just six seconds. The confrontation erupted between Spence's gang, the 5-9 Brims, and the rival Folk Nation Gangster Disciples around 3 am. During the chaos, Spence fired at the opposing gang, contributing to the deadly exchange. Tragically, the violence resulted in the deaths of two gang members and an innocent delivery driver, Amadou Diallo, who was outside the bar. Spence's guilty plea means he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years, with the potential for life imprisonment. He expressed remorse, stating, "I knew that what I was doing was wrong. I am sorry for what I did."
