Shauntay “Shake” Craig, 42, was sentenced to 40 years. He was arrested in 2016 during a massive roundup in nine states of 32 accused gang members wanted in federal investigations out of Atlanta and Memphis. FBI agents, Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies and Birmingham police arrested three Alabama suspects, including Craig.
Two leaders of the national gang the Gangster Disciples were sentenced today for a racketeering conspiracy involving murder. Shauntay Craig, aka Shake, 42, of Birmingham, Alabama, was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Craig pleaded guilty in August 2019 to racketeering conspiracy involving murder and drug trafficking. Donald Glass, aka Smurf, 30, of Decatur, Georgia, was sentenced to life plus 120 months in prison. Glass was convicted by a federal jury in May 2019 of racketeering conspiracy involving murder, discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, causing death through the use of a firearm for the murder of Robert Dixon, and other firearms crimes.
