part ll
Ricky Donnell Ross (born May 3, 1960), also known as “Freeway” Ricky Ross , was a drug trafficker best known for the “drug empire” that he presided over in Los Angeles, in the early 1980s. The nickname “Freeway” came from Ross owning several properties along the Harbor Freeway.His old house he grew up in is where a freeway now stands. During the height of his drug dealing, Ross claims to have made “2-3 million dollars a week”. His sentence has since been reduced further for being a model prisoner and he was moved to a halfway house in California in March 2009, and was released on September 29, 2009.
