Prison for rob spree in Queens

- Shayna Jacobs

AN ALLEGED Bloods member was sentenced to 15 years in prison Wednesday for a shooting and gunpoint stickups in two boroughs, prosecutor­s said.

Shukri Johnson, 21, pleaded guilty to the string of violent crimes last month in exchange for the stiff sentence.

Prosecutor­s said Johnson wore a mask while holding up workers in a string of cell phone stores and a pharmacy on Northern Blvd., Liberty Ave. and Springfiel­d Blvd. in Queens between October and January.

He took cash and phones from the wireless shops, and narcotics from the drug store he targeted, prosecutor­s said. In one instance, a worker was pistolwhip­ped, the Queens DA said.

Johnson also admitted to shooting a 25-year-old rival in the back and hip on an elevator on Dec. 30, 2016, prosecutor­s said.

His attorney declined to comment Thursday.
