Number 8 Santo Lozoya and Jose Martinez Two men were arrested in March of 2017, for
a fatal drive-by shooting that had occurred a year prior in a Chicago neighborhood.
On December the 16th of 2016, after attending a Chicago Bulls game, Crispin Coliz went to
a Dunning convenience store with a few friends.
The 28-year-old exchanged words with Santo Lozoya and Jose Martinez, members of the Milwaukee
Kings street gang.
Both men had matching face-tattoos marking their affiliations and reportedly asked Coliz
about his gang connections.
A mandate of the Kings, as reported by the authorities, was to kill their rivals or perceived
rivals on sight.
Coliz and his companions ignored the thugs, who briefly left the scene.
Lozoya and Martinez retrieved firearms from a nearby stash house and then returned in
a white jeep.
They pulled up to Coliz’s car and fired at least four shots into it.
Coliz was hit in the temple and later pronounced dead at Lutheran General Hospital, the day
before his 29th birthday.
As reported by prosecutors in the case that followed, Lozoya and Martinez later got the
logo from the D’Usse liquor bottle they’d purchased that night tattooed below their
eyes, to commemorate the murder.
The car they’d used in the drive-by was traced back to them and both men pleaded guilty
to the killing.
Lozoya was sentenced to nearly 33 years in federal prison while Martinez, who also pleaded
guilty to racketeering charges, was given a 29-year term.
Number 7 Noel Reade By October of 2020, teenager Noel Reade, from
Winsford, England, had begun to act upon his ambition of setting up a drug operation in
the area.
Nicknamed “The Devil”, he and his crew had become connected with criminal elements,
looking to become Winsford’s main suppliers.
Then, on October the 11th, Reade and several accomplices started looking for two men whom
they’d suspected of trying to take over their racket.
They spotted their targets in the town’s Premier Store.
The victims desperately clung to the front door as Reade brandished a Rambo III hunting
knife and one of his accomplices started smashing through the glass with a hammer.
The two men fled through the stock room door but, after Reade and the others regrouped,
they confronted several of their rivals’ friends, including 27-year-old former army
cadet Keagan Crimes.
Even though the latter wasn’t known to be involved in criminal activity, Reade attacked
him, inflicting devastating knife wounds.
Crimes died after losing roughly 33 pints of blood.
Two other men were non-fatally stabbed as they tried to intervene and swipe at the teenage
crime boss with a branch.
One eyewitness reported of Reade that “he was trying to stab everyone in his sight,
like a man possessed, trying to kill anyone.”
After fleeing the scene, Reade later sarcastically posted on Facebook “RIP Keagan”.
Within weeks of the murder, as the police still searched for the perpetrator, Reade
and his crew carried out a violent house burglary.
During it, he’d held a mother and son at knifepoint, threatening to cut them up.
DNA evidence eventually tied him to Crimes’ killing while the teen’s Google searches
revealed phrases such as “does blood wash off shoes”, “Rambo III knives” and “guns.”
By the time he was discovered, Reade had buried the murder weapon and it wasn’t retrieved.
He was ordered to serve a minimum of 19 years for the killing, and showed little emotion
as the sentence was read out.
Reade did, however, make gang signs and blow kisses to his friends in the public gallery.
Two other teenagers connected to the incident had been given 12 month youth referral orders
at an earlier hearing after they’d admitted affray.
Number 6 Jamie Davison In July of 2020, British teenager Coral Edgar
invited Lee McKnight, with whom she’d once been involved, to her home in Carlisle, Cumbria,
with the promise of intimate relations.
Unbeknownst to 26-year-old McKnight, Edgar had been doing the bidding of dealer Jamie
Davison.
McKnight owed him several thousand pounds and had gone into hiding but Davison used
Edgar to lure him out.
He recruited Arron Graham and teenager Jamie Lee Roberts to help him and ambushed McKnight
when he arrived at the address.
The man was tied to a chair and beaten to the brink of death for roughly two hours.
He was punched, kicked, stomped, and struck repeatedly with a diamante-headed riding crop.
Davison and his accomplices then dumped his body into River Caldew, using a car provided
by Edgar’s mother.
It was also determined that Roberts’ father had taken fresh clothing to the blood-splattered
house and torched evidence associated with the incident.
All six people involved in the killing of McKnight were convicted of murder, in 2021.
Davis, whom one of his fellow accused characterized as a psychopath, was sentenced to at least
30 year behind bars.
Number 5 Young Thug Grammy award-winning rapper Jeffery Lamar
Williams, professionally known as Young Thug, was denied bail for a third time in August
of 2022 in a case relating to his alleged gang activity as well as several other charges.
On May the 9th, Williams was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia, as one of 28 people charged in a
56-count Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
All the defendants were associated with Young Stoner Life Records, founded by Williams in
2016.
Aside from the RICO charge, a raid of Williams’ Buckhead home resulted in six further felony
charges for the possession of several firearms, including a machine gun, and a violation of
the Georgia controlled substances act.
Arguing against Williams’ bail release, the prosecution described him and his associates
as “the real deal” as well as “violent, dangerous people” who’d been connected
to numerous murders.
They also pointed to Williams’ rap lyrics in which he’d identified himself as the
gang’s “general”.
Number 4 Daniel Misiolek and Kamil Lesiak On November the 28th of 2015, Daniel Misiolek
and Kamil Lesiak attacked a 27-year-old man with an aluminum baseball bat and then forced
him into a taxi and to the former’s home in Netherton, Merseyside, England.
Over the course of nine hours the man was subjected to degrading torture by Lesiak and
Misiolek, whose numerous face tattoos included the words “thug life” below his mouth.
It involved forcing the victim to perform intimate acts on them, urinating on him, inserting
objects into his body, repeated beatings and locking him in a small storage cupboard.
Misiolek’s 27-year-old fiancée, Awna Baszak, filmed roughly 90 minutes of the man’s ordeal
on her cellphone.
They made him confess he’d had inappropriate relations with minors which, albeit untrue,
the victim did hoping it would end his torment.
He then heard the others leave, while he was locked in the cupboard.
The victim kicked the doors open, got dressed and made his escape by jumping from a window.
Misiolek, Lesiak and Baszak were arrested in the aftermath and sentenced at Liverpool
Crown Court in 2016.
Misiolek was jailed for life, with a minimum of 9 years served, his fiancée for 12 years
and Lesiak for 18 years.

Number 3 Michael Lynn Rogers In 2016, Michael Lynn Rogers was the second-in-command
for the North Texas branch of the notorious Aryan Brotherhood gang.
In July of that year, the man known as Texas Mike gruesomely murdered 34-year-old Alberto
Gonzalez at his Dallas home.
The latter wasn’t affiliated with the white supremacist gang and had reportedly gone to
Rogers’ address to buy illicit substances.
AB affiliates Gregory Collier and John Paul Street were also present in the home.
At one point, Rogers accused Gonzalez of stealing a wallet containing $600 from him.
It marked the beginning of a ruthless and horrific assault on the man.
He was struck with a hammer, slashed with a machete, burned with a hot spoon and had
a broom handle inserted in his body.
Rogers then used a power tool to drill four holes into the man’s skull and two more
into his chest and abdomen.
Gonzalez’s body was dumped at a remote pond near Irving, Texas, and set on fire.
The three men were arrested and Rogers initially tried to pin the murder on the other two but
Collier and his girlfriend testified against him.
For his cooperation, Collier received a 10-year sentence for a reduced kidnapping charge while
Rogers was sentenced to life without parole.
Details of Gonzalez’s killing troubled the jurors who asked whether their name would
be made public prior to delivering a verdict.
As reported by Dallas Morning News, over 15 officers were dispatched to the courtroom
to ensure the jurors would leave safely.
Number 2 Mirella Ponce Following her arrest, in October of 2017,
Mirella Ponce earned considerable attention on social media, with many users referring
to her as a “hot felon”.
20-year-old Ponce, who was affiliated with the Tiny Rascal Gang, had been arrested by
law enforcement in Fresno, California, following a traffic stop.
The young mother was in the car with her baby, two fellow gang members and two firearms which
had been reported stolen.
She was charged with carrying a concealed firearm and carrying a stolen firearm, both
of which were felonies.
Fresno police shared Ponce’s mugshot online as well as a photo of the lilac handgun found
in her possession.
Visible from the processing photo were Ponce’s multiple neck and chest tattoos, one of which
read “Love is pain,” while another “Pain is pleasure”.
The mother-of-two’s bail was set at $50,000 for each count, and many within her newfound
following offered to pay her bail or advocated for her release.
Much like with Jeremy Meeks, a felon who’d become a social media sensation a few years
prior, the arrest provided an opportunity for Ponce to turn her mugshot into a successful
modeling career.
Number 1 Brice Rhodes On May the 22nd of 2016, Kentucky brothers
Maurice Gordon and Larry Ordway were stabbed to death by a gang leader who’d initially
tried to recruit them.
Local rapper Brice “Rambo” Rhodes was among the four people charged with the double
homicide.
Rhodes was also charged with the shooting death of 40-year-old Christopher Jones, on
May the 4th.
Teenagers Gordon and Ordway reportedly looked up to Rhodes who’d sold them on the idea
of fame and the street gangster lifestyle.
He took them shopping for designer clothes and featured them holding guns in his rap
videos.
On May the 4th, Rhodes spotted Jones while driving through Louisville, with the brothers
and two other teenagers.
He mistook Jones for a local gangster who had a price on his head.
Thinking he’d collect on the hit, 25-year-old Rhodes jumped out of the car and gunned down
the innocent man.
Gordon and Ordway witnessed the killing and were left terrified of Rhodes who later began
fearing that they’d go to the police.
A few weeks later, he invited them to him home under the guise of partying.
He eventually accused the brothers of stealing from him, which was believed to have been
a pretext to kill them.
After a brief scuffle, he bound and separated them.
As reported by another teenager present at the scene, who’d later become Rhodes’
co-defendant, he made Gordon get on his knees and “beg for forgiveness”.
Once he’d done so, Rhodes put a stocking over his head, gagged him and stabbed him
multiple times in the chest.
He then knifed Ordway to death as well.
Their bodies were found burned and dumped behind an abandoned house.
The murder was traced back to Rhodes, who subsequently pleaded not guilty.
His three co-defendants all took plea deals that, in at least one case, involved giving
evidence against him.
The trial was repeatedly delayed but the hearings were marked by several instances of troubling
behavior on Rhodes’ part.
One, in 2016, involved him threatening the presiding judge and her family while in 2018,
he laughed at the murdered teens’ mother, prompting her to lunge at him and be escorted
out of the courtroom.
His constant disruptive attitude towards the authorities caused him, at one point, to be
brought into court wearing a spit mask.
