A Fulton County judge on Wednesday sentenced two men to 25 years in prison for the retaliatory attack against a rival street gang in the Mechanicsville neighborhood of Atlanta.
Marco Moses, 25, and Moerise Williams, 29, were convicted May 19 on three counts of aggravated assault and weapons charges for their roles in the ambush of three men, according to the Fulton County District Attorney’s office.
Superior Court Judge Kimberly Esmond Adams sentenced the men for an incident that happened Sept. 26, 2007 outside a 24-hour convenience store at McDaniel and Glenn streets.
Moses and Williams, armed with assault rifles and handguns, fired more than 20 shots on three men inside a parked vehicle, prosecutors said. One man was wounded seven times in an arm. The other two escaped injury.
The shooting resulted from mounting tensions between the 30 Deep/International Robbing Crew gang and a loose-knit Campbellton Road group Moses and Williams were associated with, prosecutors said.
Prentice McNeil, indicted as a third co-defendant in the attack, pleaded guilty before trial and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. McNeil is currently serving a life sentence for murder in a related attack that occurred six days prior to the Mechanicsville incident.
