Jimmy Henchman Gets 20 Years On Top Of His Life Sentence For Murder Of G-Unit Affiliate

James Rosemond known to many in the hip hop world as Jimmy Henchman, was sentenced to twenty years in Manhattan federal court yesterday. This comes after a previous life sentence in 2013. 

You may recall, James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond was arrested on federal drug charges in 2011 for running a multi-million dollar bi-coastal cocaine ring which he called The Rosemond Organization. And he would have gotten away with it if he wasn’t hiding in plain sight at a Union Square area hotel in New York.   In June of 2012, Rosemond was convicted of 13 charges against him, including running a Continuous Criminal Enterprise (CCE) from 2007-2010. He was sentenced to life in prison in October 2013.

Yesterday another 20 years got added to Rosemond’s sentence, this time in connection with the murder of a G-Unit affiliate. Rosemond, was found guilty of all the counts against him in the indictment, which charged him with committing murder-for-hire, conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, and two firearms offenses, following a jury trial in December 2014. The story is that Tony Yayo and  Lowell Fletcher aka  “Lodi Mac” assaulted Rosemond’s son. He wasn’t seriously injured and Lodi Mac ended up in jail for his role in the assault but apparently that was not enough. Jimmy recruited a crew of men to murder Lodi Mac upon his release from prison, paying them a kilo of cocaine (valued at around $30,000) to get the job done. And they did. At Rosemond’s direction, members of the murder crew selected a dark and quiet location for the murder in the vicinity of Mount Eden and Jerome Avenues in the Bronx, and lured Fletcher to that spot. When Fletcher arrived there in the evening on September 27, 2009, a member of the murder crew stepped out of the shadows and fired five bullets into Fletcher’s back using a .22 caliber handgun with a silencer. Fletcher died later that night.

This is the type of stuff your favorite rappers merely RAP about.

 “James Rosemond had Lowell Fletcher murdered, and after the deed, Rosemond bragged to a criminal associate that he would never be caught for the murder because Fletcher was merely a ‘gangbanger’ who died in the Bronx,” U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said, “This prosecution has proven Rosemond wrong. The sentence imposed on Rosemond today demonstrates that murdering anyone, anywhere in the Southern District of New York, will not be tolerated.”
