Sick, Baby-Faced Gangbanger Who Shot 5-Year-Old Girl In Neck During Crips Drive-By Now Taunts Victims By Rapping, Flashing Signs And Smoking Weed Behind Bars

A baby-faced Oklahoma gangbanger serving more than 50 years for blasting a 5-year-old girl in the neck during a Hoover Crips initiation is now living it up in prison, rapping, throwing up gang signs, and toking marijuana on contraband phones, viral videos show.⁠Hoodline

Noah Ney, the pint-sized Tulsa teen once nicknamed “Baby Blood,” was just 15 in April 2022 when he opened fire from a stolen SUV on North Rockford Avenue. A bullet tore into the little girl’s neck and shoulder as she played outside her home. She survived, but prosecutors said a couple of inches difference would have killed her.⁠Theblaze

Ney already had a rap sheet stacked with gun, drug and car-theft cases before the drive-by. A Tulsa County judge slapped him with a 50-plus-year adult sentence in October 2023, calling him unreformed and a continuing danger. The same judge scheduled a 2028 review that could cut the term if Ney proved he had changed.⁠Newson6

He hasn’t.

Instead, prison videos that began circulating in 2026 show the short, dark-haired inmate in an orange jumpsuit inside Oklahoma State Penitentiary, grinning as he flashes hand signs associated with the Hoover Crips, raps along to music and blows out smoke. One clip, shared widely on X, pairs a childhood mugshot of Ney with shaky phone footage of him gesturing and smoking in a prison common area. Subtitles and surrounding conversation make clear the footage is of an inmate casually lighting up and throwing signs behind bars.⁠Hoodline

Oklahoma Department of Corrections records list a string of misconduct reports against Ney: destroying a yard table, failing drug tests for marijuana, acting inappropriately with a volunteer, urinating on a cell wall, possessing a cell phone and getting into fights. Prosecutors have described the videos as evidence he is still “part of his gang in prison” and has rejected the chance at early review.⁠Newson6

Assistant Tulsa County District Attorney Morgan Medders previously told local media the behavior amounts to “a slap in the face to the court.” Officials have noted that contraband phones let inmates record and post exactly this kind of footage, undercutting any claim of rehabilitation before the 2028 hearing.

Ney’s family has described a chaotic upbringing; his parents also have criminal records. At sentencing, his lawyer argued instability contributed to the crimes, but the judge sided with prosecutors who said treatment attempts failed and Ney showed “no amenability to treatment.” He even escaped a juvenile facility weeks before the hearing and was recaptured days later.⁠

The 5-year-old victim’s family has not commented publicly on the latest prison clips. Neighbors who testified at sentencing described Ney as a neighborhood menace who openly carried weapons and wore gang colors before the shooting.

With the judicial review still years away, the videos have already revived outrage over how a convicted child-shooter continues to flaunt gang ties from inside a maximum-security prison. Corrections officials have not publicly confirmed the identity of the person in every clip, but multiple local reports and prosecutors have treated the footage as depicting Ney.

The case continues to highlight both the severity of the original attack and the persistent problem of phones and drugs inside Oklahoma facilities. Ney remains incarcerated, and any bid for a reduced sentence in 2028 will now face a public record that includes these brazen displays.
