Welcome to HoodWorse Stories. In this episode, I’m discussing the life of BK. BK, also known as Mr. Fantastic, was born in November of 1988. As a junior, he carried his father’s name. His father being recognized as a legendary Hoover member. So, BK was practically born into the set, following in his father’s footsteps.
He represented 74 Hoover, which is often seen as the starting point of the more active Hoover sets as you move down the line. As a member, BK was regarded as a bonafide soldier. A rider who earned his stripes through everything he did for his set. And when it was war time, BK was battle-tested and stood at the forefront.
By 2014, the feud between the Hoovers and the Main Street [ __ ] was considered one of the deadliest conflicts in Los Angeles, having already raged on for years at that point. And their sets being in close proximity to one another makes the situation even more volatile. Members constantly trooping to one another’s territory looking for problems.
Is that not skirt? Is that on skirt? Not on skirt though. Yeah, we all here. ALL THAT ON SKIRT. ALL THAT THOUGH. JUNE OF 2014 already kicked off on a bad note. On that fatal morning, Nut from Main Street was sitting inside a red sedan on the 100 block of West 98th Street.
At the time, he was parked with a female on a stretch known as the eight. The eight is the name of 98th Street that runs through 98 Main Street [ __ ] turf. Because there are no parks within the neighborhood, members typically congregate in high volume near the center divider between Main Street and Avalon.
As a result, the strip has become a common target for rival gangs. It was shortly after 9:00 a.m. when a white mid-size vehicle approached with two people inside. The front passenger in the vehicle fired several shots into Nut’s car, striking it multiple times. The female was not injured.
Nut was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy showed that he had died of multiple gunshot wounds. In the wake of Nut’s killing, tensions remained high and payback from Main Street seemed inevitable. Fast forward 11 days later, on the night of Friday, June 13th, two Main Street [ __ ] drove up to the house on 97th Street loading up their guns and getting ready to chalk some.
Among the two was Trevor Williams, who would ride shotgun during the mission and serve as the primary shooter. The two rode off into the night looking for Hoovers and they knew exactly where to find them. There on 87th Street near Figueroa, BK, Avian, and Avian’s girlfriend, Jacinta, were parked up in a silver Camry getting ready to go out to the movies.
Avian, also known as Shoot ‘Em Up, was a fellow who we remember from 90s. His girlfriend, Jacinta, also known as Lady Del Face, was a female gang member from Troubles. The Troubles are clicked up with the Hoovers, so that connection was seamless. The group was in a car sparking up before getting ready to peel out.
BK was in the driver’s seat while Avian and Jacinta were in the back. A red Nissan with two people inside pulled up beside them. One of those two people in the red vehicle was Trevor Williams. With no hesitation, Trevor began firing into BK’s silver Toyota, letting off at least 10 shots. Bullets ripped through the vehicle, killing Avian and Jacinta.
Amid the chaos, BK fired back and fatally shot Trevor dead. The driver of the Nissan sped away and he dropped off Trevor’s body in front of the fire department station on 108th and Main. BK, who was also wounded in the car-to-car shooting that killed two of his friends and the alleged attacker, was arrested Saturday morning and held on a million bail for suspicion of murder.
BK was ultimately released on Tuesday, June 17th. Prosecutors declined to file charges because the investigation found that he had acted in self-defense. Over the next year, BK would heal up from the shoulder shot but continue to remain dangerous and on point at all times.
South Central would explode in July 2015 when KP was killed. KP was a beloved member from the Hundreds, but he would often antagonize his enemies on social media. They’d be like, “KP, I’mma smoke you.” I’ll be like, “Nigga, where?” They’d be like, “I’mma catch your [ __ ] ass in your hood smoke you.
” [ __ ] where? KP’s death sparked a wave of shootings across South Central. What began as a conflict between two sets soon had multiple gangs ready to participate. On July 25th at about 4:00 p.m., BK’s father Anthony Sr. was at the intersection of 88th and Hoover. 88th and Hoover lies in what’s known as Death Alley.

That specific intersection has ranked among the most dangerous in Los Angeles for the past 15 years. It remains a high-risk area at all hours. Anthony was sitting in his Honda at a stop sign when a gunman in another car stopped alongside, got out of the car and opened fire. Anthony’s vehicle collided into a light pole.
He was pronounced dead at the scene at 4:15 p.m. The gunman drove away in a light-colored SUV. Police said they believed that more than one person was in the vehicle. It’s alleged the attack came after a verbal confrontation at a gang member’s funeral earlier in the day about a mile and a half away from the shooting scene.
Anthony Sr. was 47 years old when he was murdered. After losing his father, BK attended culinary school in an effort to go down a more legitimate path. BK’s attempted a legitimate path hit a setback in December 2018 when he was arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
He later posted bail and ultimately received 3 years of probation. Just a few months after receiving probation, he was arrested again in August 2020 on the same charge. He later posted bail and was released, but after only a few weeks out on bail, BK’s life would come to a tragic end when he was murdered on the 900 block of 81st Street.
This is one of the murder blocks in the Shady 80s between Hoover and Vermont. An area that, as I noted earlier, remains one of the most violent corridors in Los Angeles. An arrest wasn’t made until January 2021 when four individuals were charged in connection with his murder. Among them were Ab Dog and Jay Brains from 60s.
Jay Brains was claiming Gutter Kids and he was a young gutter that seemed ready to crash out. So, I’m hot right now. That’s on the dead homies. Like I’m burning up in this Burn it. Burn your burn hot my And you think Burn it. Burn Hello, what’s up my [ __ ] Hot my Jay Brains and his three co-defendants were charged with one count of murder, one count of conspiracy to commit any crime, one count of shooting at an inhabited dwelling, and one count of assault with a firearm on a person. In January 2025, Jay Brains had been found guilty on all counts. Three months later in April, he was sentenced to 25 years to life for the murder charge along with an additional 10 years. The same sentence was handed down on count two. For count three, he received 7 years plus 10 years while count four resulted in 4 years plus another 10 years. He will be eligible for parole in January 2045. I’d like to thank you guys for watching. Please like, comment, and subscribe.
