Three members associated with the infamous “Wild Boys” gang of South Carolina were sentenced Friday for their role in a shooting in 2011.

Brian “B-Nasty” Manigo, Damien “Sacked Up” Robinson and Kelvin “Kevy Boy” Mitchell received sentences for attempted murder in aid of racketeering, according to a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) press release. The three men engaged in retaliatory shootings against a rival gang.

All three men were known members of the Wild Boys, a violent street gang that plagued the streets of Walterboro, S.C. from 2009 to 2015. Manigo and Robinson each received 10 years in prison while Mitchell received 39 months. All three men plead guilty.

The Wild Boys were apparently very keen on posting their gang activities on social media. The group was known for engaging in a wide breadth of criminal activity, including threatening rival gang members and police and posting pictures and videos of large amounts of cash, firearms and drugs. Members were also known for engaging in robberies and drug trafficking across the area.

The Wild Boys were aligned with another local gang, the “Cowboys,” which resulted in shootings against shared rivals. Innocent bystanders were “seriously injured” in the attacks, according to DOJ.

Manigo and Mitchell were involved in a May 2011 retaliatory shooting against a rival gang member. Mitchell drove the vehicle while Manigo fired an AK-47 at the gang member, who was standing in a crowd. One bystander was seriously injured.

Robinson was involved in a retaliatory drive-by shooting in April, 2015. He drove a vehicle while two other Wild Boys members fired AR-15 and SKS rifles at a home. Robinson supplied the AR-15, according to DOJ. One individual was injured.
