Joshua James Masters, now 40, has been behind bars since May 2008 but was released by the Parole Board this month as he was no longer considered an undue risk to the safety of the community.
Masters is a high to moderate risk of re-offending, according to a psychologist's report, and the Parole Board imposed a number of special conditions on his release.
He is not allowed to associate with gang members, except those approved by his probation officer such as family members, or enter places where gangs meet, such as gang pads or fight clubs.
His behaviour in prison was described as confrontational and intimidatory, while he still ran the Killer Beez from behind bars.
