Jervon Morris, aka “Sticky,” faces nearly 20 years in prison for his role in racketeering, drug trafficking, and violent crimes tied to the Marion Gardens gang.
NEW JERSEY – Jervon Morris, 35, of Jersey City, was sentenced to 234 months in federal prison for racketeering, violent crimes in aid of racketeering, drug trafficking, and firearms offenses, according to U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger. Morris, a member of the Marion Gardens street gang, previously pled guilty to the charges before U.S. District Judge Claire C. Cecchi.

These violent acts, including assaults, shootings, and murders, were often aimed at rival gang members.

In addition to his prison term, Morris was sentenced to three years of supervised release. Williams, who participated in a separate 2018 assault in Jersey City, was sentenced on October 3, 2024, to 198 months in prison.
