Two Atlantic City men tied to a violent gang since they were teens were sentenced to 20 years each for a string of violence that included employing juveniles and attempted murder.
Quashawn Harris and Saa'lih Davis, who both were involved in a 2016 shoot-out when they were juveniles, pleaded guilty in October to their involvement in an ongoing gang battle.
Both men have been tied to the Head Shot Gang since they were young teens. The Back Maryland-based gang is also known as Front Street.
Harris, now 23, and Davis, 22, were sentenced on crimes including first-degree charges of promoting organized street crime, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder and use of a juvenile in the commission of a crime.
They also had weapons offenses, receiving stolen property and resisting arrest.
Both men previously served time for their involvement in a 2016 shoot-out during a party at the then-Trump Taj Mahal when they were juveniles.
Harris, who was 16 at the time of the crime, was waived up to adult court, although he was to serve that sentence at a juvenile facility. Davis was sentenced to six years at the Training School for Boys.
Their violent gang affiliation continued with crimes committed between January and May of last year, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.
Both must serve at least 12 years and nine months before they are eligible for parole. They also face five years of parole supervision upon their release.
