To avoid death penalty, 2 Portsmouth gang members confess involvement in crime spree that left 5 dead
NORFOLK
In December 2015, Anthony “Ace” Foye told a Portsmouth woman her son had taken a trip.
And Al-Tariq Tynes did, according to court documents. Just not one from which he would ever return.
Foye, a known “hitter” with the Nine Trey Gangsters, shot and killed 27-year-old Tynes on Dec. 10, 2015, hid his body in the trunk of the man’s Lexus and drove around with it for several days. Another gang member eventually dumped the body in a ditch in Chesapeake, court documents said.
Foye and fellow gang member Alvaughn “LB” Davis pleaded guilty Tuesday to felonies related to a bloody 18-day crime spree across Hampton Roads that claimed the lives of five people and left four others injured.
Foye confessed to personally killing four people in exchange for a mandatory life sentence. In exchange for an expected 45-year sentence, Davis, a more senior member of the gang, confessed to helping Foye and others with some of the homicides.
Charges are pending against the other two people arrested last year in connection to the spree: Antonio “Murdock” Simmons and Nathaniel “Savage” Mitchell.
Earlier this month, prosecutors said they were still trying to decide whether they would seek the death penalty in this case. The final decision, they said, was up to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and he has since decided not to seek the death penalty in any of the cases.
According to court documents, the four men were members of the Nine Trey Gangsters, an affiliate of the United Bloods Nation that operated primarily in Portsmouth, Chesapeake and Norfolk. Of the four, Foye and Mitchell held the lowest rank, Davis outranked those two, and Simmons outranked them all.
During the fall of 2015, Foye and Mitchell were trying to gain a reputation as “hitters” – gang members who were willing to shoot people. Court documents said successful hits enhanced the reputation of the shooter and the gang as a whole, by keeping rival gang members and even ordinary citizens on edge.
The crime spree that swept across Hampton Roads in December 2015 was tied in part to problems Simmons was having with higher-up members of the United Bloods Nation. According to court documents, each affiliate, or “set,” is required to pay regular dues to higher-ranking members, and Simmons was behind.
Failure to pay the dues, often referred to as “babylove,” can lead to the demotion or punishment of a member, documents said.
Prosecutors said Foye was directly responsible for the deaths of Tynes, 27; Vandalet Mercer, 27; Linda Lassiter, 49; and Wayne Davis, 49.
He is not directly tied to the death of a fifth person referenced in the indictment: Jamesha Roberts, 25. Prosecutors blamed Mitchell for that homicide
The first homicide mentioned in the court documents involved Tynes, whose body was discovered Jan. 4, 2016, near Rotunda Avenue in Chesapeake.
Foye developed a plan in November 2015 to rob Tynes, who was one of his friends, the documents said. Tynes sold marijuana but was not an “official member” of the gang.
Foye and Davis discussed robbing him on Nov. 28, 2015, but decided not to when they realized the drugs were in Tynes’ car and the vehicle had an alarm system.
Foye, however, met up with Tynes again on Dec. 10, 2015. That night, he killed Tynes and stole his money, jewelry and a .380 caliber handgun. Foye then put Tynes’ body in the trunk “and continued driving the car around Portsmouth,” court documents said.
“After driving Tynes’ Lexus for several days, with Tynes’ body still in the trunk, Foye contacted Davis and asked (him) to help him dispose of the body,” the documents said.
In a September interview, Tynes’ mother, Kisha Tynes-Wilson, said Foye reached out to the family on Facebook after her son’s disappearance and said he had taken a trip.
The next homicide involved the Dec. 15, 2015, death of Mercer. Davis drove Foye and Mitchell to a house in the Lincoln Park neighborhood that was often used for illegal gambling, court documents said.
Foye was carrying a Glock handgun, and Mitchell had the gun that was stolen from Tynes, the documents said. Both men got out of Davis’ car and fired shots before getting back inside.
When police arrived a few minutes later, they found Mercer dead and another person injured.
Lassiter and Davis were killed Dec. 20 while driving in the Cavalier Manor neighborhood in Portsmouth. According to court documents, however, the dual homicide stemmed from an earlier argument Foye had with a man Nov. 26, 2015, outside the home of Lassiter’s daughter.
The man with whom Foye was arguing threatened Foye, court documents said. Foye was unarmed at the time but returned with a gun and shot at the daughter’s home. Lassiter was almost hit, documents said.
Several days later, Foye came back to the house and confronted the daughter and her boyfriend. He accused them of “putting his name out” as the shooter, documents said.
Court documents also link Davis, Foye and Mitchell to a Dec. 27, 2015, shooting on Reid Street in Portsmouth. Foye and Mitchell shot the ex-girlfriend of a man who headed another Nine Trey Gangster set as part of a dispute.c

Man involved in murder spree could've avoided gang if King's Fork had let him play football, lawyer says
Alvaughn Davis, of Portsmouth, Va., exits the U.S. District Court
building in Norfolk, Va., on Wednesday, September 28, 2016. Davis
faces federal murder and racketeering charges and if convicted could
face life in prison.
A Portsmouth man may never have joined a gang – and been involved in two homicides – if he'd only been allowed to play high school football.
That was one of the points defense attorneys argued in court documents as they asked a federal judge to impose an agreed-upon 45-year sentence this morning for their client, Alvaughn “LB” Davis.
But it's also an argument Davis' former coach at King's Fork High School put forth. According to court documents, Cecil Phillips asked the Suffolk school system during Davis' freshman year to overlook a self-imposed rule requiring a 2.0 grade-point average for participation in extracurricular activities. He noted that Davis met the Virginia High School League's lower standard, which requires only that an athlete pass the equivalent of five classes during the semester.
"We knew if we lost a kid to that 2.0 rule that the streets would swallow them up, and we would never get them back,” Phillips told the defense, according to the documents.
Attempts to reach Phillips, who is now coaching at Amherst County High School near Lynchburg, by phone and email were unsuccessful.
Most public school systems in South Hampton Roads require athletes to maintain a 2.0. Norfolk allows all incoming 9th grade student athletes to participate before imposing the 2.0 requirement, according to the school system's website.
Davis, 29, and fellow gang member Anthony Foye pleaded guilty earlier this year to felonies related to a bloody 18-day crime spree across Hampton Roads that claimed the lives of five people and left four others injured.
Foye confessed to personally killing four people in exchange for a life sentence. Davis, a more senior member of the gang, confessed to helping Foye and others with some of the homicides.
Charges are pending against three others arrested in connection to the spree: Antonio Simmons, Nathaniel Mitchell and Malek Lassiter.
According to court documents, the five men were members or associates of the Nine Trey Gangsters, an affiliate of the United Bloods Nation that operated primarily in Portsmouth, Chesapeake and Norfolk. Of the five, Simmons held the highest rank in the gang.
The crime spree claimed the lives of Al-Tariq Tynes, 27; Vandalet Mercer, 27; Linda Lassiter, 49; Wayne Davis, 49; and Jamesha Roberts, 25.
Alvaugn Davis helped dispose of Tynes' body, which was found in January 2016 in a Chesapeake ditch, court documents said. The month before in Portsmouth, they said, he served as a getaway driver following the shooting death of Mercer and a nonfatal shooting that targeted the ex-girlfriend of a man who headed another Nine Trey Gangsters set.
There was little question about how U.S. District Judge Mark Davis would rule Tuesday because Davis' plea agreement required the 45-year sentence.
Still, defense attorneys Timothy Quick and Fernando Groene laid out their client's often tragic childhood in court documents. The attorneys noted that Davis' father was involved in two simultaneous romantic relationships when his client was born, and that both relationships were producing children.
The father eventually married the other woman, leaving Davis' mother to care for him and his little brother, they said.
The attorneys said Davis was sometimes homeless as a child. At the age of 6, he was sometimes tasked with caring for his little brother while his mother worked. And at 13, he was caught in the crossfire and shot twice when men opened fire around him.
In all, Davis attended eight public schools before dropping out. During that time, he repeated the third, seventh, eighth and 11th grades.
The attorneys said football gave Davis motivation to attend school, not to mention a distraction from his home life. But then, they said, he was barred from playing for Phillips.
Soon after, they said, Davis began spending time with a neighbor who introduced him to the gang life.
In court documents, Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Bosse agreed Davis' formative years were "extraordinarily difficult." He added that Davis has tried to do some good with his life, including caring for his ailing grandparents and teaching football to young boys, ages 5 to 7. He was an assistant coach with the Bennett's Creek Warriors Tiny-Mite football team.
But, Bosse said, that doesn't make up for all the violence he has taken part in while working with the Nine Trey Gangsters.
"Nothing about his family background explains or mitigates the crimes he chose to commit," Bosse said.

Louisiana Sheriff Wants ‘Good’ Prisoners To Stay Jailed For Their Free Labor
He’s wishing for what is “essentially slavery,” the ACLU said.
A sheriff in Louisiana has been railing against the state’s
new prisoner release program, saying many of those
“good” inmates need to stay behind bars for the free
labor they provide.
Last week, Caddo Parish Sheriff Steve Prator blasted the
state’s Justice Reinvestment Package, a series of bills passed
and save more than $260 million over the next decade by slowly
releasing nonviolent offenders. The legislation is set to go into effect
on Nov. 1 and would authorize the early release of 1,400 prisoners
across 21 parishes in the state.
Just 35 prisoners would be immediately released in Caddo Parish,
but that seems to be too many for Prator, who said the state needs
them to “wash cars.”
“In addition to the bad ones ... they’re releasing some good ones
that we use every day to wash cars, to change oil in the cars, to
cook in the kitchen, to do all that where we save money,” he continued.
“Well, they’re going to let them out ― the ones that we use in work
release programs.”
Marjorie Esman, executive director for the ACLU of Louisiana, told
HuffPost that Prator’s desire to keep prisoners purely for their free
labor is “essentially slavery.”
“The purpose of the criminal justice system is to keep the community
safe and to make sure that nobody is incarcerated any longer than
necessary,” Esman said. “It’s certainly not to provide free
labor for law enforcement officials ― that is essentially slavery.
It is obviously not only ludicrous but a gross violation of
people’s rights.”
It’s almost as if he forgets that he’s talking about human beings — like he’s speaking about animals or cattle.Angel Harris, NAACP Legal Defense Fund
Prator went on to say that the state is “risking our
safety for bragging
rights and to save money.”
The “bragging rights” Prator might be referring to is
Louisiana’s desire to relinquish its spot as the U.S.
state with the highest incarceration rate.
“Louisiana is somewhat of a special case just
because it has such a
substantial proportion of its state prison population
being held in local jails,” Marc Mauer, executive
director of The Sentencing Project, told HuffPost.
“This has been going on for a very long time, and
many of the local sheriffs welcome it because
it’s bringing more money into their jurisdictions.
It’s one of a number of factors that have
contributed to Louisiana being a national
leader in its use of imprisonment, and
that’s nothing to be proud of.”
Angel Harris, assistant council for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund,
said she was “shocked” that an elected official like Prator would make
such a “callous” and “disturbing” comment.
“[Prator] is talking directly about economic exploitation of human
beings, which is one of the biggest issues in our criminal justice
systems,” Harris told HuffPost. “It’s almost as if he forgets that
he’s talking about human beings ― like he’s speaking about
animals or cattle.”
“It brought on images of slavery, quite frankly,” she said. “You think
about the demographics of who is he actually talking about. It is
overwhelmingly black and brown bodies ... [who] are being housed
in his jail and in those prisons.”
In a statement from the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office, spokeswoman
Cindy Chadwick doubled down on the sheriff’s statements while
criticizing Intercept reporter Shaun King for tweeting that Prator
“likes keeping ‘good’ Black men in jail.”
“It is a fact that state inmates serving a hard-labor sentence can be
required to work as part of their court-ordered sentence in Louisiana,”
the statement read in part. “Those jobs may include picking up trash
on parish roadways, preparing meals for inmates at the jail, or working
for non-profits and public agencies in our community. The term ‘good’
inmates was in reference to state prisoners who are eligible to work
but have lesser felony charges compared to others facing release
who have criminal histories including murder, domestic violence, and
battery.”
according to the Prison Policy Initiative. Mauer said there were
“disturbing parallels” between today’s prison labor practices and
a 19th century system in the South called “convict leasing,” in which
African-Americans were rounded up by police and charged with
minor offenses like loitering so they could be “sold” to plantation
owners as cheap labor.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) said Prator has
misunderstood what the program hopes to accomplish.
“The sheriff is incorrect in his assessment of the Justice Reinvestment Package,” Edwards said in a statement to HuffPost. “The goal of this
bipartisan package is to reduce the incarceration rate, make
communities whole, and promote public safety by reducing
the rates of recidivism with investments in treatment and
jobs training programs.”
Edwards said he would meet with Prator next week to discuss
the plan further. Prator did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s
request for comment.

and Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office.
