Markell Young

Markell Young, was identified in federal court records as a member or participant connected to the organization represented by this profile. The federal record states that the defendant was described by prosecutors as a Hoover Criminal Gang leader who ordered a 2017 murder of a suspected rival. The resulting sentence was 180 months (15 years) federal prison. This profile records that adjudicated sentence separately from broader descriptions of gang activity and links the person to the relevant organization and federal case. The connection is included because it helps trace how Los Angeles-origin street-gang identities developed networks and prosecutions far beyond Southern California while retaining a documented organizational lineage.
