True Crime

Dallas News.com: Nykees Earl Campbell...known as "NaNa" and "Ny-Nizzle"...wanted to rap about what was real. So he posted...videos on YouTube and Facebook Live about his violent war with a rival gang, which played out with deadly consequences on the streets of Dallas.

Campbell, who has no criminal history...(pleaded) guilty...(to) a charge of distributing cocaine...initially facing almost six years in prison. But (the judge) granted (the prosecutor's) request for an enhanced prison term...(of) 12 years...due to Campbell's alleged violent gang activities documented in his own videos that were played during...(his) sentencing hearing...

(P)rosecutors...matched up (Campbell's) words with actual crimes, including an ambush robbery in which he allegedly shot a man eight times while he was asleep in bed. Campbell...hasn't been charged with those crimes...although he remains a suspect...

(The judge) told Campbell that much of the information she relied on "came out of your mouth"...
