In a shocking turn of events, Eugene “Big U” Henley, a prominent figure in the hip-hop world, has been implicated in a series of heinous crimes, including the murder of aspiring rapper Raawn Williams. Federal prosecutors have unveiled a staggering 43-count indictment against Henley, accusing him of running a mafia-like criminal enterprise tied to the notorious Roland 60s Crips, with charges ranging from murder to racketeering and fraud. The allegations include the chilling detail that Henley orchestrated the brutal 饾搥饾捑饾搧饾搧ing of Williams, who was signed to his label, after the young artist recorded a diss track that disrespected him.
The indictment paints a grim picture of Henley, who allegedly kidnapped Williams in January 2021, shot him in the head, and disposed of his body in a ditch along a Las Vegas freeway. Prosecutors allege that Henley attempted to cover up the crime by removing evidence and intimidating witnesses. This shocking case has sent ripples through the music industry and the community, raising questions about Henley’s dual identity as a community activist and criminal mastermind.
But that’s not all. Henley faces additional charges of embezzlement, extortion, and human trafficking, with claims that he misused funds from his anti-gang charity. The federal investigation has unearthed disturbing evidence, including wiretap conversations where Henley allegedly boasted about his violent actions. The stakes are high as he faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted.
As this gripping story unfolds, Henley remains in federal custody, denied bail due to the severity of the allegations. The trial is set to begin on May 20, 2025, and the implications of this case extend far beyond a single murder, revealing a dark underbelly of exploitation and betrayal within the hip-hop community. The world is watching as the truth behind Big U’s empire is slowly peeled back, and the consequences of his alleged actions loom large.
