Alleged LA Crips Leader 'Big U' Henley Charged with Requesting Jailhouse Hit on Witness
Prosecutors say Eugene “Big U” Henley offered inmates $1,000 to kill or harm a witness, and the new indictment adds seven felonies.
- On Wednesday, a federal grand jury indicted Eugene "Big U" Henley on seven new felonies, including soliciting inmates to murder or physically harm a witness identified as "Victim-1" to prevent their testimony.
- Henley, a former Rollin' 60s Neighborhood Crips leader, has been in federal custody since March 2025 awaiting trial for racketeering, murder, and extortion charges related to his organization, the "Big U Enterprise."
- Prosecutors allege Henley asked two inmates on June 10 about the housing unit layout where the witness was held, offering payment to "kill or harm" the individual to prevent testimony.
- Defense attorney Peter Johnson wrote that Henley "maintains his innocence" and will address allegations at trial where "facts, not headlines, will control" in February 2027.
- The new charges also include wire fraud allegations related to COVID-19 relief loans for Celebrity Socks and sex trafficking conspiracy involving co-defendant Armani Aflleje between November 2022 and January 2023.
