According to prosecutors, Carlton Weekly, who performed under the name FBG Duck, was shot dead, and two others were wounded on Aug. 4, 2020, near the Magnificent Mile when four people got out of their cars and opened fire on the sidewalk. Weekly was shopping for his son’s birthday when he was killed, his mother said.
A 36-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman who were sitting in a parked vehicle were also wounded in the shooting.
Prosecutors said that Weekly was a member of the STL/EBT, or Tookaville, faction of the Gangster Disciples, which it said had feuded with O Block, a faction of the Black Disciples.
According to a 45-page document unsealed in court in January 2022, investigators towed a car used in the shooting one day after it happened, later searched it, and found evidence that implicated Liggins. The document also points to so-called “diss tracks,” the songs posted online in which street gang members disrespect rivals, fueling violence on the streets.
