A Brooklyn gangster from the “No Love City” gang was sentenced to 35 years in prison for his involvement in the attempted murder of three members of a rival New York crew over a stolen gold chain.
Thirty-two-year-old Jean Fremont, known on the street as “Juno” and “Bigga Twirl,” has been convicted along with seven other members and associates of the gang, Knewz.com has learned.
Fremont was one of the leaders of the No Love City (NLC) gang, a subset of the Flatbush-based Folk Nation Gangster Disciples (GD) gang.
According to a press release from the office of Breon Peace, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Fremont was a part of the five-member “Steering Committee” of NLC.
In November 2020, members of a rival gang stole a gold chain and pendant from Fremont after the filming of a music video in Brooklyn.
The gold pendant featured the letters “SPMB,” which was closely associated with the gang leader.

Fremont, along with several other members and associates of the gang, violently retaliated by carrying out a series of shootings in the rival gang’s territory on November 7 and 9. The GD gang members managed to injure three members of the rival faction.
Peace, who announced the sentence against Fremont and his co-defendants, said in a statement, “Fremont will spend decades in prison for attempting to murder individuals for the sole purpose of defending his gang’s reputation.”
“Incarcerating Fremont and his co-defendants for a long period of time for their ruthless acts of violence and complete disregard for human life will serve to protect the community while sending a message of deterrence to others who foolishly seek status by choosing to join violent gangs,” he added.
In November 2022, a jury convicted Fremont on eight counts of a superseding indictment charging him with conspiracy to murder rival gang members in aid of racketeering, two counts of attempted murder in aid of racketeering, and two counts of assault in aid of racketeering.

He was also convicted of one count of attempted assault in aid of racketeering and two counts of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.
Along with Fremont, seven other members of the GD gang were also convicted in relation to the November 2020 shootings. They were found guilty of several charges, including conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, assault, and firearms-related offenses.
United States District Judge William F. Kuntz II sentenced Fremont to 35 years of incarceration at the Brooklyn federal court on Thursday, May 30, and passed similarly lengthy sentences to most of his associates.
Lorenzo Bailey received 34 years’ imprisonment, Quincy Battice received 32 years, Oluwagbenga Agoro received 30 years, Hans Destine received 20 years, and Deryck Thompson was sentenced to 17,5 years in prison.

On the other hand, Ricardo Hapburn and McKoy Lima received relatively shorter sentences of around 11 years and nine years respectively.
U.S. Attorney Peace mentioned in his press release that the Fremont case is being prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, which he called “the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts.”
“Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them,” the release added.
