#Gang member busted for trio of shootings done in by out-of-town bullets

The Brooklyn ex-con who dodged jail because an attempted murder case against him fell apart is behind bars today because the bullets he allegedly used in another shooting were shipped in from out of town.

Darrius Sutton, 23, was arrested May 20 and charged with attempted murder for a May 16 shooting, but was released the same day because the lone witness recanted.

Two months later, the accused Bloods gangbanger was hit with a federal charge for allegedly opening fire on a rival gangbanger in East New York on April 20, according to a complaint filed in the Eastern District of New York.

But it wasn’t the gunplay itself that landed him in federal custody — it was the shell casings collected from the scene, according to a complaint filed against him.

After the April shooting on Sheffield Avenue, NYPD detectives recovered one 9mm Luger caliber Federal Cartridge and one .380 auto caliber Winchester cartridge, according to the complaint.

When federal authorities linked ex-con Sutton to the shooting, they had enough to throw him in jail on a law that prohibits anyone who has been convicted in any court of a crime with a sentence of more than one year from possessing ammunition that has been shipped from out of state.

“I am aware that Federal Cartridge and Winchester ammunition is manufactured outside of New York,” an FBI agent wrote in the complaint charging Sutton with the federal crime.

Sutton had previously pleaded guilty to a felony for beating up a girl when he was in high school, prosecutors said.

He was sentenced to two years in prison for a cold-blooded attack on the high school girl in 2014, according to court documents.

“The defendant waited for her and assaulted her by punching both sides of her face, breaking her teeth,” a pretrial memo filed by prosecutors in Sutton’s case states.

“The assault was recorded on one of the school’s video cameras,” it adds.

Following Sutton’s May release, he allegedly joined other suspected gang members in three drive-by shootings this summer — one on July 13 and two on 14, according to prosecutors.

In the April 20 shooting, a man purported to be Sutton snuck up behind a rival gangbanger and shot him three times in broad daylight, according to prosecutors.

The victim was hit in the chest, thigh and wrist and narrowly escaped death.

Now he faces up to 10 years in prison on federal charges for criminal possession of a weapon by a felon.
