Six O Block Gang Members Convicted for Murder of Rapper FBG Duck

The high-profile case, part of a deadly gang war in Chicago, ends with mandatory life sentences for all six men.

  • Six men, all purported members of Chicago's O Block gang, have been convicted for the murder of drill rapper FBG Duck, real name Carlton Weekly, in a federal trial.
  • The murder, which took place in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood in August 2020, was part of a gang war between Duck’s Tookaville faction of the Gangster Disciples and the O Block group of the Black Disciples.
  • The jury deliberated for two days before reaching the verdict, and all six men now face mandatory life sentences.
  • The prosecution's case relied heavily on surveillance footage and witness testimonies, some of whom were gang members and violent criminals.
  • The defense criticized the lack of forensic evidence and the quality of the surveillance footage, and argued that some of the defendants were not members of the O Block gang.
