Episode Details

Four men who fled to Portugal after a teen’s murder in a gang revenge attack now face prison time—each sentenced to 10 years for manslaughter. The fatal stabbing of 16-year-old Alexander “John” Soyoye, sparked by a prior stabbing linked to rival gangs M40 and RTD, led to this grim reckoning. Though they didn’t stab him, the court found them culpable for being armed and answering a call to arms. John’s mother’s heart-wrenching victim impact statement painted her son as bright and full of promise—gone too soon. The judge condemned the tragic normalization of gang violence, while six RTD members already serve life for the original killing.
