Trial Date Set For FBG Duck Murder Case

Trial Date Set For FBG Duck Murder Case

The five men charged in the death of Chicago rapper FBG Duck have been set for trial. U.S. District Judge Martha Pacold spoke on the case Thursday. U.S. Attorney Jason Julien says the trial should last four weeks. The five men face multiple charges, including murder and assault in aid of racketeering. They are also accused of firearms violations.

The five men charged in the case are members of  O-Block, a group that has long been at odds with the Black Disciples. During a routine street robbery, the five men opened fire on Carlton Weekly, claiming that he was only putting down rivals. However, a witness said, “The gunfire was not random. It was deliberate and premeditated.”

The gangs were enraged by videos by FBG Duck. Five men have been arrested and charged under the RICO statute, which was originally designed for mobsters. The five men are currently awaiting trial in Chicago. They were arrested earlier this year on a federal warrant for their crimes. The five men are accused of murdering the popular rapper while he was on his way to buy a birthday gift for his son.
