Baltimore man gets 40-year term for gang killings in case that highlights city’s ‘culture of violence’

Rashaud Nesmith was 16 when he was charged with armed carjacking. Still a teenager, he became involved with a violent Baltimore gang that law enforcement has connected to dozens of murders, shootings, armed robberies and carjackings. Now 21, he was sentenced Monday to serve 40 years in federal prison — nearly double his lifetime.
