Originally from Jackson, Mississippi, Hoover moved with his parents to Chicago, Illinois when he was four years old before turning to gang life by the time he was 13. He started with theft and mugging, but as he got older his crimes turned to assaults and shootings.
It was on February 26, 1973 when Hoover murdered William Young alongside another Gangster Disciple member, Andrew Howard. While at Stateville Correctional Center in Illinois, Hoover began to gather followers however, the authorities saw this as a positive.
Hoover made it mandatory for any members of Gangster Disciple to educate themselves, pick up a trade, and become better members of society.
However, in 1995 an undercover investigation indicted Hoover for drug conspiracy charges. In 1997 he was found guilty and is now serving six life sentences at the United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado.
