Jackson, the head of the Byrd Gang, was convicted of racketeering conspiracy, drug trafficking, and firearms charges. The gang, which operated in areas like the old Magnolia Housing Development and the Westbank, was responsible for pushing heroin, fentanyl, crack cocaine, and marijuana. The groups violence included several murders and shootings, often involving rival gangs and innocent bystanders. Jackson supplied stash houses for the drugs from 2014 to early 2017. After a four-day trial, he pleaded guilty to secure a 30-year deal and avoid a possible life term. Federal investigators seized dozens of guns and ammunition from the crew.
