Dieuverson Caille, also known as “Savage,” has been sentenced to 36 months plus an additional 21 years to run consecutively for committing multiple armed carjackings during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Caille, together with his co-conspirator gang members, carjacked four victims at gunpoint, kidnapped one of them, pistol whipped another, and stole their iPhones and money. Evidence at trial also showed that the defendant was a member of the Eight Tray Gangster Crip and Haitian Loc gangs when he committed these crimes.
“The defendant terrorized Brooklyn by committing a string of violent crimes against random, innocent people during the height of the COVID pandemic,” said Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. “The city is a safer place because of today’s sentence and underscores that this Office will vigorously prosecute defendants who commit violent crimes.”
On August 28, 2020, Caille carjacked a victim in Flatbush at gunpoint. Caille and two of his gang members forced the victim into the backseat of his own car, drove the victim to a drive-through ATM fifteen minutes away and attempted to force the victim to withdraw money. The victim escaped by jumping out of the car’s window because he thought if he stayed in the car he could be shot.
On September 3, 2020, Caille and several accomplices carjacked a Chevrolet Malibu at gunpoint in Canarsie and attacked an occupant of the car by pistol whipping him.
On November 15, 2020, Caille, acting alone, carjacked at gunpoint the driver of a BMW who was working as a rideshare driver in Flatbush.
Finally, on June 20, 2021, the defendant, together with at least one other accomplice, carjacked at gunpoint the driver of a Porsche in East New York.
“Today’s sentence appropriately punishes a brazen criminal who tormented unsuspecting New Yorkers at the peak of the pandemic, and amid a citywide and nationwide spike in motor vehicle thefts,” said New York City Police Department Commissioner Edward A. Caban.
“Mr. Caille has now been held fully accountable for his actions. And I thank all of the talented NYPD and ATF investigators, and everyone involved from the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, for their dedication to ending his particular reign of terror.”
