2 convicted in gang leader’s slaying Two men have been convicted in the 2008 shooting death of a rival gang leader in Northeast D.C.
A jury found Deandre Rogers, 20, and Deon T. Jenkins, 26, guilty in the April 14, 2008, slaying of 29-year-old William Foster, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C.
Foster, a leader of the Todd Place Crew, was gunned down while sitting in rush hour traffic at the intersection of North Capitol and R streets.
Prosecutors said he had been in the area “mugging” members of the rival T Street/Yellow Brick Road Crew. Jenkins, a T Street leader, saw Foster and ordered Rogers to kill him. Rogers fired a gun 12 times into Foster’s vehicle.
The jury acquitted a third man, Austin Hall, the accused getaway driver.
