Brooklyn Rapper Ra Diggs Charged, Indicted For Three Murders, Could Face Death Penalty

    Brooklyn, New York native Ra Diggs has been charged with three murders, including one that he bragged about on Twitter.

    According to NYDN, the aspiring rapper was indicted today for the slayings, which are connected to his Gowanus Houses drug operation. The emcee, born Ronald Herron, could face the death penalty.

    His charges extend to June 2001 for the murder of Frederick Brooks, which he originally beat after two witnesses refused to testify against him on account of his associates threatening them. In a later slaying, Herron bragged about the murder on Twitter, stating that he “beat a body.”

    “His Tweets were premature,” Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch added, “Ronald Herron and his gang terrorized a Brooklyn community for more than a decade and he temporarily got away with murder by threatening and intimidating witnesses only to return to the streets of Brooklyn to kill and kill again.”

    1. Why would you kill someone and brag about it on twitter. That’s some ignorant shit..smfh.. He should be locked up and never get out, or get the death penalty as they were saying… One less ignorant waste of sperm on the streets…

    2. not for the first time on this site i find myself asking – Why are so many of you wishing prison or death on this man?

      You don’t know him.

      You don’t know the victims.

      You’re affected by this in absolutely no way.

      This is a situation for the victims nearest and dearest to have a view on and deal with, not you.

      Wishing prison/death on someone is the next closest thing to snitching. Keep your nose out.

      1. Shut the fuck up, Its in the news people are going to have opinions on it, you crying like this guy is your cousin or some shit

    3. DX and you kids don’t know anything. He never bragged about killing on twitter. When you catch a body you are charged with murder. If you beat a body that means you are not prosecuted or convicted. nuff said

    4. “Wishing prison/death on someone is the next closest thing to snitching”

      … yeah, and I’d “snitch” on a criminal parasite if I knew something too. Lowlifes like you enable criminals to do what they do.

      Have fun in the slammer there Boo Rah, Doo Dog, or whateverthefuuu your name is. Seems you’re getting what’s coming.

      1. ^^^^^

        What the fuck that has to do with anything, lol, like all blacks and latino’s support criminality, Fuck outta here

      2. Yeah I am white, not that that has anything to do with anything. Criminals are criminals, including my white gangster brother who was shot in the head and chest by his best friend over some power struggle. He lived the life he lived and got what he deserved too. Criminals don’t deserve fans, they don’t deserve reverence, they deserve to look at the world through bars.

        And I didn’t say all blacks and latinos support criminals. I said people that complain about “snitches” do.

      3. I could care less for a thug or criminal but when u went imto the…have fun with boo rah/doo rag it was a dead giveaway.

    5. What goes around comes around I gues, if he did it he deserves what he gets

      Personally speaking tho I always thought the Death Penalty was an easy way out….. If you gave me a choice of a lethal injection or growing old inside a prison I’d roll my sleeve up and say “Lets get this over with”

    6. The DP is the easy way out. You should have to think about it everyday for the rest of your life while sitting in a cramped cell going stir crazy counting the holes in the ceiling. The only problem there is these killers and thugs still get three meals a day, special privileges, cigarettes, etc. so in a way, they live much the same way they did out on the street.

      1. You obviously have no clue about NY’s Death Penalty issues or life on Death Row. Educate yourself and stop spreading misinformation.

    7. New York State doesn’t have the death penalty, assholes.

      Where the fuck is this website written?

      Horowitz, you are beyond fucking retarded.

      I live across the street from Gowanus Houses and never heard of this douchebag as a ‘rapper.’

    8. white people marry their cousins and rape their inbred children

      the only thing black people love more than hoodrat activities is fried chicken

      mexicans are good at mowing lawns and makin burritos

      asians are a bunch of pussys who get into harvard SHOUTOUT TO JEREMY LIN

      indians work at AT&T and smell like curry aka shit

      1. So im assuming dude above me ^ doesnt like jewish people.. I swear that shit makes no sense I dont understand why nobody likes jews…..

    9. No wonder all the weirdos and idiots comment here, Worldstar turned ON the log in to comment function. The children and lonely ones can’t go to Complex, Worldstar, NahRight, XXL, AllHipHop, SOHH, 2Dopeboyz, VladTV, Miss Info, ThisIs50, FreeOnSmash, ForbezDVD, RapRadar, The Smoking Section or The Source to fock around so they come here, the last place where the email log in function is turned off.

      Smarten up HipHopDX, you are not advocating usage of free speech with this move, you are only doing it to increase page views to get ad money from COMPLEX. NahRight is in the same network as you and their comment section is RESPECTED in the industry, and they are HEAVILY MODERATED.
