Eugene ‘Big U’ Henley Jr. is in trouble! He’s got a whole lot of legal drama going on, but in a resurfaced video amid the murder and extortion accusations, he was seen in a video checking in a movie production while they were filming in LA hoods.
According to reports, Big U has been declared a fugitive following accusations of murder and extortion as he’s yet to be taken into custody.
The leader of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips, Henley and his gang were involved in extortion, human trafficking, fraud, and the 2021 killing of an aspiring rap musician, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.
“The allegations in the complaint unsealed today reveal a criminal enterprise that engaged in murder, extortion, human trafficking, and fraud – all led by a supposed anti-gang activist and purported music entrepreneur who was nothing more than a violent street criminal,” Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph McNally said on Wednesday.
In addition to Henley, two other members of the crime ring—Sylvester Robinson, 59, also known as “Vey” and Mark Martin, 50, known as “Bear Claw”— were both arrested on the same criminal complaint on Wednesday, the U.S. attorney’s office added.
Over the last 24 hours, 10 alleged Rollin 60s members and associates have been charged with numerous federal crimes, including drug trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and firearms offenses, the Justice Department said. Authorities are seeking the whereabouts of five other alleged members, including Henley and another man, who have both been deemed fugitives by the U.S. attorney’s office.
According to the federal criminal complaint, Henley operated a “mafia-like organization” that used his, among other street gangs, to intimidate businesses and individuals in Los Angeles. The organization allegedly led by Henley is named “Big U Enterprise,” which partnered with the Rollin’ 60’s and others for mutual benefit, the U.S. attorney’s office said.
“Henley is widely regarded as a leader within the Rollin’ 60s and rose to prominence in the street gang during the 1980s,” the complaint reads.
Big U Enterprise, which acted as a distinct and independent criminal enterprise, engaged in various crimes, including murder, extortion, robbery, trafficking and exploiting sex workers, fraud, and illegal gambling, according to the complaint.
The Justice Department said the criminal enterprise is responsible for the murder of an up-and-coming musician identified in the complaint as “R.W.”
So, yeah, that’s the scoop on Eugene ‘Big U’ Henley Jr. and the movie production ‘check in’ while filming in the LA hoods. Whether he’s guilty or not, it’s up to the courts to decide. For now, he’s still not in the grips of authorities.
