Ronald Herron (born March 30, 1982),[1] known as Ra Diggs, is an American former rapper and convicted murderer who is serving a life sentence at the ADX Florence prison in Colorado.

He collaborated with other artists including Uncle Murda and Waka Flocka Flame[3], forming a group known as the “Murda Team.” The group released songs including “We Run NY” and “Slow Down Remix.” In March 2010, he started posting music videos to a YouTube channel called "VANGODENT".

Herron was the leader of a Bloods gang set known as the “Murderous Mad Dogs.” His organization controlled the Boerum Hill area, in particular the Gowanus and Wyckoff housing apartments.

[13] On May 9th 2008, a man named Richard Russo was murdered in an elevator in the Wyckoff Gardens housing complex.

[9] He was later federally indicted on 21 counts including three murders, drug distribution, and violating the RICO Act.

[16] In his own defense prior to his sentencing, Herron addressed the courtroom and stated: “You guys sit here and continue to paint this picture that I’m the devil incarnate, the scourge of righteousness — it’s all crap … Even the most dim prosecutor could have secured a conviction under this atmosphere of guilt they built.

In early 2015, during a routine search of his jail cell at the MCC New York complex, officers found a collection of razor blades and a mobile phone under Herron’s mattress.

Inmates at the ADX complex are held in isolation for 23 hours per day with minimal human contact.
