An alleged leader of a Los Angeles street gang who's accused of murder, kidnapping and extortion was expected to appear in court Thursday, a day after he posted a video declaring his innocence before surrendering to federal authorities.
Eugene Henley Jr., known as “Big U,” was one of 18 members of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips suspected of a litany of federal crimes including drug trafficking, conspiracy, and firearms offenses, the U.S. attorney’s office said in a statement Wednesday.
