FBG Duck’s murder trial has delivered a verdict, with six O Block gang members found guilty of the Chicago rapper’s killing.
FBG Duck, real name Carlton Weekly, was shot and killed in August 2020 while shopping in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood. The rapper’s girlfriend and another shopper were wounded in the attack.
Witnesses to the shooting claimed that two cars pulled up alongside Duck, with four men jumping out and firing guns at the rapper. He was hit 16 times.
Duck, who was 26 at the time, was pronounced dead when he arrived at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
Prosecutors claimed that the rapper was a victim of an ongoing gang feud between O Block and the Tookaville faction of the Gangster Desciples, which Duck was allegedly a member of.
The six men convicted of Duck’s murder are: Marcus “Muwop” Smart, Christopher “C Thang” Thomas, Kenneth “Kenny Mac” Roberson, Charles “C Murda” Liggins, Tacarlos “Los” Offerd and Ralph “Teezy” Turpin.
Offerd, Liggins, Roberson and Smart were found guilty of five of seven counts including murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Thomas was found guilty of three counts and Turpin, who allegedly gave the shooters Duck’s location, was found guilty of two counts.
The men will be sentenced at an upcoming date.
Duck’s mother, LaSheena Weekly, celebrated the verdict with friends and family watching on as the trial finally concluded on Wednesday (January 17) after three months.
Weekly wrote on her Instagram Stories: “Guilty. All they ass is guilty.”
She also said in an interview, per the Chicago Sun-Times: “When stuff like that happens to a good person, regardless of what somebody else thinks of them, it ain’t gonna go unpunished.
“Knowing that they will not do that to another family brings me comfort, knowing they will not terrorize nobody else. They’re done, the whole crew. O Block and everything of it is done.”
She added: “I could never want another mother to feel like this, to see their child shot down in the street like a dog. They had FBG Duck death parties. That’s how much it meant to them.”
In a clip posted online, Weekly also announced that she would be hosting a “justice party” at her house where she would be “popping bottles” to celebrate the verdict.
find his music on itunes make a tribute and contribution i remember fbg duck well may the lord rest his soul
All her sons have now been murdered.
That’s just sad.
I’m sure it had nothing to do with how they were raised….
But you’re raised in an environment that perpetuates needing to engage in that behavior. About 85% of Americans never leave their home state, let alone their cities. Have you ever had a crew of friends with a clear leader of the group? When one person says ‘Fuck that person’ it’s hard to be the only one in the group saying something else. It’s systematic.
It’s easy to be labeled a banger.
THERE’S CHOICES AND HE DIDN’T HAVE THE TOOLS TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION. HE WASN’T INNOCENT. SOMETIME YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW. AND MAMA NOW ALL ABOUT IT.
Put all dem nigg*z on da row. Dey gone end end up dead anyway!
MAMA DUCK NEEDS TO HEAL THATS TRUE. BUT, THIS IS THE SOCIETY WE NEED TO BREAK FROM. DID SHE TRY TO BETTER HERSELF WITH EDUCATION. NO, SHE WAS MORE OF A FRIEND THAN A REAL MOTHER. DUCK WASN’T NO SAINT, EVERYTIME THIS HAPPEN THE VICTIM IS SO INNOCENT. NOW, MAMA DUCK DOING FANS ONLY. TAKE CARE OF WHAT YOU GOT LEFT IN YOUR LIFE. NO ONE SHOWED HER HOW TO BE AN REAL MOTHER. NOTHING WRONG WITH GETTING HELP TO MOVE AWAY.
