BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A Black Guerilla Family gang member was sentenced to prison after admitting to killing a witness who was going to testify against a fellow BGF member.

Wesley Jamal Brown, 25, was sentenced to 31 years in prison for conspiracy to participate in a racketeering enterprise.

According to the plea agreement, Brown was a member of the BGF Greenmount Regime, formerly known as the Young Guerilla Family, or YGF, between 2005 and September 2017.
