This is not the McLovin’ that was accused of being in a D.C. gang, but rather the Superbad character.

Six D.C. gang members pleaded guilty yesterday to participating in a string of crimes in Chinatown, U Street and Adams Morgan last year, where they would assault and rob victims—sometimes hitting multiple victims per night. They were also linked to flash mob-style robberies of gas stations and convenience stores.

The “Show Out” crew was led by 19-year-old Brandon “McLovin'” Trowell, who pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy, aggravated assault, and committing a crime while affiliated with a criminal street gang. (The nickname comes from the Superbad movie; the image above is taken from there.) He faces up to 30 years in prison.

His five co-conspirators—all of whom are 19 or 20 years old—pleaded to a number of charges, including assault with significant bodily injury, attempted robbery and threats to do bodily harm; they each face maximum prison sentences ranging from 15 to 45 years in prison. Two of the gang’s members were also charged for threatening associates if they talked to the police. In one case, one of the gang members recorded a rap song in which he threatened that a fellow member would be shot “on sight” if it were true that he was snitching; that song was posted on his Facebook page.

As part of plea agreements, two violations of D.C. hate crimes laws were dropped. Prosecutors had initially charged the group with partaking in hate crimes for two incidents that took place on June 5, 2012. In the first, the gang targeted a Hispanic man, yelling racial epithets as they beat him him. Only five minutes later, the group beat and robbed a homeless man nearby.
