FBG Duck (real name Carlton Weekly) was killed in a drive-by shooting on August 4, 2020 while shopping outside Dolce & Gabbana with his girlfriend for his son’s birthday in Chicago.
Four masked shooters emerged from the car and sprayed FBG Duck — an alleged Gangster Disciples member — with at least 38 bullets, resulting in the rapper being hit with as many as 21 shots in the ambush that lasted all of 15 seconds.

Duck’s girlfriend and one other bystander were wounded in the attack, which was caught on video and led investigators to connect the vehicle to the shootout and make several arrests.
Court records showed that the FBG rapper had a $100,000 bounty put on his head about a week prior to the shooting.
According to rap blog Chicago Scene 88, an FBI report cited an unnamed witness they spoke to in August 2020, just weeks after Duck’s murder, who stated that King Von was the one to allegedly first offer $50,000 for anyone who killed Duck, before later upping the reward to $100,000.
The witness went on to claim that King Von celebrated FBG Duck’s murder by buying everyone in O’Block a new chain. The docs also reportedly stated that the gun used in Duck’s murder can be linked to a dozen other cases.

The five prime suspects outside of Turpin were apprehended more than a year after Duck’s murder in October 2021 and are expected to face trial in October 2023.
