Technically, Kaleem Roland, only 17 years old, was convicted of first degree murder, but in actuality, he was convicted and will be sentenced for absolute, utter, boneheaded stupidity. Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Vinny Vella told us for what he, along with Jabriil Morgan-Cook, 20, Naseem Worrell, 19, did:
The killing of a Norristown man last year was a retaliatory shooting rooted in a bitter gang feud splitting the Montgomery County seat, prosecutors said Tuesday as the murder trial for Tahaj Harrison’s three alleged killers ended.
Now, the fate of Jabriil Morgan-Cook, 20, Naseem Worrell, 19, and Kaleem Roland, 17, is in the hands of a jury, set to deliberate Wednesday morning.
Assistant District Attorney Tanner Beck said in his closing arguments that the three were self-proclaimed members of the 300s/All Black Bandits and set out in May 2025 to “hunt” Harrison.
Harrison, according to prosecutors, belonged to the 6s/Grimy Boys, a rival group, and had mocked the murder of Seth “Pop” Marshall, a 15-year-old 300s member who was killed in a West Philadelphia corner store two days before Harrison’s death.
This one’s a five-for. All were convicted of first-degree murder, and that means that three members of the “All Black Bandits” along with one of the “Grimy Boys”, plus a 15-year-old All Black Bandits idiot will be off the streets in the Keystone State.
Morgan-Cook faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison. Worrell and Roland, who were 17 and 15, respectively, when the shooting took place, will be sentenced in the coming weeks by Montgomery County Judge Steven T. O’Neill.
While a life sentence is not mandatory for Messrs Worrell and Roland, it is still possible.
Fortunately this was tried in Montgomery County and not foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia, where the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police hating District, Larry Krasner, might have offered the three sweetheart plea deals which would put them back on the streets.
So, what do “men” like this think about, as they are being led back to jail, knowing that they are going to spend possibly the rest of their miserable lives behind fences and bars and concrete walls?
At least they’re young enough that we can hope they never knocked up anybody, and have thus removed their stupidity from the gene pool forever.
