SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A Syracuse man will spend a dozen years behind bars for committing multiple gang-related crimes.

Darnell Williams, 27, was sentenced to 12 and a half years in jail for racketeering activity through the Bricktown Gang.

Williams pleaded guilty last year to a 13 count indictment. He admitted to taking part in multiple murders, drug trafficking, and robbery as a member of the gang.
