Two Newark Bloods convicted in the murder of rival drill rapper Nyshon Anthony.
A federal jury convicted Tyler Shorter, 22, "Money Bags," and Amir Canty, 23, "Blast," on November 6, 2026, after a three-week trial. The jury deliberated less than a day.
Shorter is a member and Canty an associate of the Sex, Money, Murder set of the Bloods, out of Bradley Court — "Munn Block." On November 8, 2022, after the two sides traded threatening drill videos, Shorter shot and killed Anthony, a Grape Street Crip, on South Orange Avenue. Canty drove the getaway car and later tried to burn it.
Both face a mandatory sentence of life in federal prison without parole. Sentencing is set for March 30, 2027.
The same war as C-Blaze — this time from the other side.
