THE BACKDOOR: The Price of Loyalty (A Chicago Gang Documentary) 

 

 

 

You locked in with the hood edition. Straight from the trenches of shot rack. Real talk only. Let’s get it. Look in Chicago. It’s one word that carries more weight than the gunshot. The back door. It don’t always mean that I pulled  that trigger. It means the danger was already on the inside. Someone you broke bread with.

 Someone who knew exactly where you be posted. They made  sure you felt safe right before everything went dark. Tonight ain’t about  beefs you saw coming. This is about moments that felt normal until they weren’t. Different names, different  hoods, same damn nonsens. Lil Dave was 16 years old on an electric scooter.

Brad Daylight, five gunman, an ambush. Folks couldn’t wrap their heads around it. Not the violence, but the precision. This wasn’t random. This wasn’t reckless.  Somebody knew exactly when he’d be there and exactly how vulnerable he’d be. That’s when that word started  spreading again. Back door.

 And new this morning, a 86y old woman shot  while tending the grass in West Garfield Park. 12 say someone in a dark charge of five shots in this area. She wasn’t even the target. Then over on Washington and Palaski, one woman killed, four others hurt. The street,  it don’t stop. Check it.

 a ride share passenger shot at from another car. >> 23-year-old  man who was riding in the back seat of a ride share last night when someone pulled up and started shooting into that car. The victim >> Shorty was 23,  just sitting in the back seat when someone pulled up and started cooking at whip. Bullet holes all through the glass.

  No one in custody. Just another night in the city. In Chicago, violence often comes without no warning. It don’t wait for the night. It don’t whisper. David Mason Jr. Lil Dave never made it home that day. Shot right off that same scooter from his picture. By the time the blue lights blurred  against the street signs, the city had lost another soul.

But this one, this one felt targeted, calculated, and chillingly fast. >> Saw it. It happened this afternoon  in the 4100 block of West End. Police say the teenager was near the sidewalk when he was shot multiple times. He took himself to the hospital but did not survive. >> A 16-year-old shorty gone just like that on the west side.

 It happened this afternoon 4100  block of West End. 12 said a teenager was right by the sidewalk when they caught him with multiple rounds. He got himself to the spot, but he didn’t make it. When the rollers got to the scene, David was nowhere to be found. No body, no shooter, just whispers. Folks say a whip peeled off seconds before the loss showed up.

 Someone had scooped him racing toward  Mount Si. A drop off gunshot victim. Wounds to the head, the chest, the arms. The doctors tried, but it wasn’t nothing rough to say. David Mason Jr. pronounced dead, just 16. The rain was washing the street,  pooling with a blood once spilled. No shells, no names, just one question ringing through West  Gfield.

 Why him? That video spread fast. A quiet block, a parked whip. Five men waiting inside. No movement, no music, no noise. Then little Dave enters the frame  on that electric scooter. Glading slowed down the street. He wasn’t running. He wasn’t  packed. Just coasting, completely unaware.

 He was seconds away from his final moment. 17 second  mark, the silence explodes. All four doors swing open. Four men, black hoodies  moving in perfect rhythm. They fan out and open fire. [laughter] Automatic bursts, flashes of light, chais. Little Dave jumps off the scooter and sprints. You can hear it. That rapid gunfire cutting through the air.

 17 seconds. That’s all it took to erase a life. Twisted scooter  in the street, front wheels spinning, slowing the wind. Neighbors on the porch  whispering names, theories. Some say retaliation. Others say missed  identity. But one thing was clear, this wasn’t random.

 Lil Co was  only 18, barely old enough to know how fast things flip. An argument, a familiar block, a moment that should have ended with words. Instead,  it ended with a chest wound. The timeline didn’t sit right. Too fast, too clean. Like the trap was already set, waiting for him. What you want to be when you grow up? Damn. I want the world.

 Where you want to be at 33? Man, I’m trying to be in Europe. Big ass crib, wife, and kids. I’m trying to be wealthy and get to far away from here, folk. >> Damn. I want the world. Like where you want to be at age 33, >> man? Out  the Chicago  somewhere in Europe in a big ass crib with my  wife and kids.

 So not about that’s where I want to be. I want to be >> So you want to live in a whole another country, >> man? Yeah. >> You want to raise your family in Europe, >> man? Why not? >> They not going to be able to see the rest of their relatives. >> Come back  for It’s always We going to have enough money to come back.

I’m trying to be wealthy and get the  with this  Especially  first of all, I want to get the my first goal now is get the away from him. >> But Chicago is plagued by  Fourth of July weekend, 109 people shot, 19 killed. The youngest victim just 8 years old.

 The city, it just don’t stop bleeding. Bryson or just a kid gone with two of  his people in the crib over in Grand Crossing. July 4th morning. The whole city should have been celebrating, but instead it’s more blood. Two other little brothers, ages five and seven, hurting, bleeding. The streets  talking, saying Lilco Scoon was tight with blood hound Lil Jeff, who just got caught and killed last month. Same exact location.

 Over a 100 people shot. 19 lives erased in one weekend. Children and Lil  himself gone. The mayor in the blue suits, they on the screen asking for help, saying the hood needs to step up. More than a hundred people shot on Chicago streets. Mayor Brandon Johnson and Chicago police calling for the community to step up and help after an extraordinarily violent weekend.

 More than 100 people shot on Chicago Street. >> Down in South Austin, families are devastated. Melvin Hill found in his own apartment. No post,  no movement, just a wound to the head on the 200 block of North Central. shot victim Melvin Hill found  shot to death late last night here in his South Austin apartment. >> 19 families woke up this morning with a hole in their heart.

 No son, no daughter, no father. The superintendent saying the same thing >> morning without  a son, without a daughter, without a mother, without a father. >> Mayor Brandon Johnson at the  public safety building with police superintendent Larry Snelling and others. She  says it’s going to take everyone to slow the violence with a staggering 109 shootings overall  this violent holiday weekend.

>> I’m urging all of you across the entire city to step up to say that we’ve had enough to step up to stop this vicious cycle of violence. >> We need  to take these people off the street and we need to keep them off the street so that they don’t reaffend. >> We got to take these people off the street and keep them off so they don’t do it again.

 to repeating the plea for Bryson Ore, the youngest victim shot down in Grand Crossing with his mother and his cousin. We can’t bring those kids back. Somebody always knows something  about somebody. Say something cuz it’s a matter of life and death. 18-year-old Ashen Hogan, they call him Lilcoon, the drill rapper, identified as the one shot and killed late Sunday night, July 7th, 2024.

 Another name for the streets to remember. Another life turned into a shadow in the Chicago heat. >> I told you I have no key. I take I don’t have no key. >> But it’s easy. Yeah. My eyes open. >> What you mean? Why a >> around 1150? Chicago police caught two separate cars. One at 89th in Langley, the other at 87th in Calume.

 When they hit the scene on 89th, they found Lilco Skoon on the ground.  Two shots to the chest. He was rushed to the university, but he was already gone. Check it. Imagine the scene. Yellow tape everywhere. Rollers extending the perimeter. One round on the sidewalk. 79th Street. They found a male afro medium brown complexion.

 Two to the chest, one to the arm. He was laying right by the whip. He had that boondock tattoo. Riley with a halo and scripture on his arm. >> Go ahead. male one with an afro medium brown complexion. He uh received two GSWs to the chest and one GSW to the arm. This is the one who was found by the car. He also has a boondock tattoo with uh Riley with a  halo and a scripture on his left arm.

>> 12 spotted a suspect, chased him on foot, but the suspect started busting back at the officers. A 101 emergency. The whole district came out swatting all but he slipped away into the night. At the same time, a 16-year-old boy was found in a Uber, shot through both thighs. On the ring cam, you can hear Liloon asking his girl, “You got the key? Your key?” >> I told I have no key.

 I take it if I’m Amber. I don’t have no key. >> I told you I have no key. I take it on the camera. I don’t have no key. >> She kept saying, “I told you I have no key.” He knew. He knew something was up right then. You can see her on the cam pacing around him, nervous, playing with the light on the phone. It’s ironic cuz asked her if the back dude was open.

 She said no. But in reality, the back dude was opened on him by her. Kamari Babau Balemont stepped out of Cook County Jail, finally free. But freedom in the  Chai is fragile. For Babau, it lasted minutes. He just beat a murder  charge, a second chance at life. But the streets wasn’t celebrating, they was watching.

 He slid into a whip, headed into the cold March night. Didn’t even know he was being hunted. To some, he was just a name. To others, he was a hitter. Earned his repping in blood. And reps like that, they don’t fade, they wait. A white SUV appeared, sinking his movement with his like it already knew. Old conflicts don’t die in Chicago.

 They circle back. And this one had perfect timing. How do the law miss a deadline just to let a man walk out into  a trap? attorney. How did prosecutors miss a deadline to bring a defendant to trial? >> Murder charges had to be dropped and the 23-year-old man was released from county jail only to be shot to death moments later. Here’s CBS 2’s Jim Williams.

>> As Kamari Belmont sat in Cook County Jail charged with murder, the clock started running. >> We want accused people.  We want victims, witnesses, every we want them to have a speedy trial. Prosecutors had 120 days to bring Belmont to trial under the state speedy trial statute. They didn’t  get it done and had to drop the murder charge.

> Murder charges had to be dropped and a 23-year-old man walked out  of county jail only to be cooked seconds later. As Kamari Belmont sat in that cell,  the clock was running. The state had 120 days to bring him to trial and they fumbled. Case dismissed.  His lawyer said in all his years handling hundreds of murders, he  never saw nothing like it.

 Legal experts say back in the day, whoever missed  that count would have been fired on the spot. The new leadership blamed the old leadership just passing the buck while working on training. But while they  was talking, the streets was acting. Minutes after Belmont posted bond and stepped out into that cold Monday night, someone in a white SUV was waiting.

 He didn’t even make it to the hospital. Someone in this SUV fired shots at the 23-year-old. He didn’t make it to the hospital. What was your reaction when you found out he had been shot to death? >> I I was absolutely stunned and and felt very bad for his family. >> His lawyer  was stunned. Felt bad for the family.

 But when the office was asked if they take responsibility, they had no comment. At 11:43 p.m., the silence broke. The SUV pulled  up sideways to Babo’s whip. Windows dropped. Muzzles flashed.  It only took seconds, but it felt orchestrated, methodical. Babbo was hit again and again. 19 shots tearing through the darkness.

 His door swung open as he stumbled  into the street, collapsing on the cold pavement of South California. 12 minutes later, he  was pronounced. The SUV crashed soon after. The ones inside vanished like ghosts. Ghosts dissolving back into the city that made them. Babbo’s path was set way back in 2015.  Him and his guys, Terrence and Khalil, caught back-to-back robbery charges.

 One of the victims died, and that made it a murder. 2 years of delays, resets, and games. When Babo demanded his trial, the  clock started ticking. 120 days. When the state missed that deadline, the case fell apart. To some, it was a technicality.  To others, it was unfinished business. And that night, somebody decided  to finish it. I don’t  them.

 Y’all know I’m coming. Y’all know I’m bumping   Luc. >> The police suspected Young Money was behind the hit. The motive, an old rivalry. A score waiting to be settled. But no arrests, no confessions,  just a crashed SUV in a night that refused to speak. Did they tell him from the jail? Did a snake tip him off? Or was the  plan set before the bond paper was even printed? Babbo thought he beat the system, but  the streets got their own rules and their own clock.

>> Over there 23, but who is over there? >> Walk back over here. >> Squad, they’re trying to get away. Step it up. Don’t do  wrong. >> I’m telling you to stop. Stop. I didn’t do anything. Put your hands behind your back. I didn’t do anything. that’s chasing. Go ahead. Black address right there. Right there.

>> 12 chasing, cornering the units. DMG Lil Deuce was outside in the morning hours. A regular walk, no threat until a whip  slowed down. Folks still debate how they knew he’d be there. Why that block? Why that moment? Because someone always talks sometimes without realizing the cost. >> What’s good, man? How you coming? >> Make  know I’m back for the take  over, man.

  got the  going on, man. Taking over the trenches. Y’all know what I’m on. Back where I left, back where I started. Rookie of the year, you know. Had a slight little  up. Fremont rapper, man. Real  Free Trey Switch, man. >> All right, man. What’s your plans are since you got out? Yeah. Run straight up to the scaff.

>> You about to take over there or what? >> Yeah. Yeah. I’m taking something. I don’t I’m dropping out. >> You got some new coming up. >> All right.  >> Come out of this  This already be out. >> All right. Keep coming.  Come on. >> Y’all got them things. Y’all better bring that up. Y shake.

 Cuz I just told y what it is when they see me. fell out. >> I’m going to stay down here. I’m going to stay down here by the door. >> It started like any other September morning in Chicago. People rushing to work, kids headed  to school, a hood just starting it day. But by 10:30 a.m., everything had changed. A young  man, only 23 years old, was walking near the 800 block of East 91st  Street when a whip crept up sideways.

 In seconds, the silence was broken. Gunfire tore through the street. The man collapsed, struck multiple times. He was rushed to  the University of Chicago Medical Center, but he never made it out alive. That man  was DMG Lil Deuce. And his death, it wasn’t random. For years, his name was whispered in fear and respect. Loved by some, hated  by many.

 A figure both notorious and mysterious. >> Is gone, bro. Y’all supposed to change our name. Make something else. What the  600 is not 600 no more. Go back to city. >> What the  is a 600? What is a 600 cartel though? Get your goofy ass, >>  You know what,  600,  What you talking about,  >> And bench that ass.  that  G.

And all y’all dead homies,  turn up about it. >> To understand how Deuce died, you got to know where he came from. DMG, short for Dro Money Gizzy Gang. It’s more than a name. It’s a set born out of alliances, rivalries, and tragedy. They home is the Southwest side, Crosswestern. A mix of BDs, GDs, and Vice Lords.

 The Seven Ducees  faction built a rep in the streets long before the internet ever heard of them. Unlike the rest of these rivals, DMG  didn’t showcase their every move. They weren’t posting high-speed chases or flaunting gunplay for the gram. Instead, they presence was felt in quieter, deadlier ways.

 Stories of them terrorizing rivals  spread word of mouth. Enemies feared them. Allies respected them. And everything they stood  for was carried under the name of one man, Dietro. 18 years old, killed on July 4th, 2021.  In his honor, the set carried the Detro money legacy forever. >> I understand Dro is a is a uh twin brother.

>> Oh, your twin brother. >> Yeah, best friend. >> Okay. Somebody that passed away. >> Yeah. >> Um is that where uh the DMG come from? >> Yeah, that’s your money game. You know what’s up saying DMG like drugs, money, guns, deuce, money gang. You can say anyway, but that’s your money game. When you at the double G though, that’s your money glazing game.

>> Jeremiah Dawson, better known as Little Deuce,  carried himself like he had nothing to fear. But behind that rep was a darker story. Rumors swirled around his name. Claims that he had taken lives,  not just rivals, but people not even in the mix. Stories said he called Mac and killed BG Pat’s brother, a man with no tide of the war.

Even the uncle of a girl tied to the Bando boys wasn’t spared. In his own music, dudes made chilling admissions. He claimed to have caught at least eight people.   Man,  talking about RP man. I’m not mad man. Whether it was boasting or the truth, his  words left folks questioning how far he’d gone.

 But Li Deuce wasn’t untouchable. Years before his death, he was shot and nearly killed. The injuries were so bad it left him with a permanent limp. For months, folks said he had a fake leg. He didn’t, but that limp became a visible scar. The life he lived. >> You you you you walked with a heavy limp. I got shot I got shot 11 times my whole life.

 10 times once and once another altercation. I ain’t never got shot by no enemies, you know. All type of like no  just occasion going on. You getting two of my know. >> Okay. >> And it turned into something that was supposed to be. >> Okay. But let’s break that down though. You say you’d have been shot on two different occasions. Um >> one time you had got shot 10 times.

>> Yeah. First time I got shot one time on show. Then the second time I got shot. The second time I got shot then every  You know what’s the crazy thing about it? I got shot like I ain’t going to say why I got shot up but I got shot like in the suburbs and it was like I remember day like it like yesterday.

 It was a snowstorm. We was going to the bud situation. It was me and Dro. We get to the Buds that go on. He take me all the way to the hospital on 63rd and was St. Bernard. He take me all the way to St. Bernard in the middle of snow storm. I’m bling from 10 different areas. I’m in the car just go for I just know folk steady crying.

 They saying folks kept saying um the car sling cuz it’s snow outside. So the car slam on the eway we get right there. He helping  I get that and it ain’t no trauma unit. So they had to take me to UIC. So I’m bleeding from different bullet wounds for like 30 40 minutes. >> Still dudes remain and every day he survived the tension around his name grew.

 On Friday, September 12th, 2025, that tension reached a breaking point. Just after 10:30 a.m., a whip pulled up on East 91st. Inside, someone was waiting, watching, timing. Then came the shots. Little Deuce fell, struck repeatedly. The street echoed  with chaos before the car spared away. Witnesses scrambled, but by the time help arrived, it was already too late.

He was taken to the spot, but the wounds was too deep, too many. At just 23  years old, his life was gone. The shooter vanished without a trace. To this day, no one arrested. Area 2 detectives are investigating. But in the world deuce  came from, investigations rarely bring closure. Q50 and Lil 50.

 Shorty was only 15, just a young with alleyway dreams that got snuffed before they even started. The aftermath, man, it left the hood with way more questions than  answers. Even the suspect didn’t stay on this earth long enough to say a word. And when the truth  disappears that fast, it usually means the streets never wanted it to surface anyway.

 Yo, who you was looking up to growing up? Who was you rocking with? A >> little G. Um, Lil Dirt I looked up to uh, Chief Kee I looked up to. >> Okay. >> Who else I looked up to? >> Uh, then who else? >> Kindy boy was shot and killed overnight in West Woodlong. >> Boy was rushed here last night to the hospital  after he was wounded in that shooting, but he did not survive.

>> Over here now. The Rollers is out here looking for a shooter and a reason after a 15year-old soul  got snatched overnight in West Woodlon. Shorty was rushed to the spot last night bleeding heavy, but he didn’t make it. As of this morning, his name ain’t even on the paper yet. And 12 is still looking for the one who let that metal fly.

>> Over here now. >> Check the dispatch. You can hear the radio right there. 12 was met with a whole crowd of folks when they hopped out on the scene last  night. Shooting happened right around 8:30 in the Woodl Long Hood. 12 say the young was posted in an alley near 66 in Champagne when someone came through busing.

 Caught him in his chest and his left leg. On the scene, investigators blocked off that alley looking for shelves. At least 16 Marcus was down on the ground.  You could see the brass and his gear just laying there in the dirt. Now, as of this morning, the reason why still a  blank screen and you already know Chicago police ain’t got nobody in the cuffs.

 A real one detectives are trying to piece it together. And 12 is asking anybody with the lowdown and give them a call or drop a tip on the web without leaving a name. But in the chai, the streets talk, but they don’t never tell. Look, check the energy in the room. You watching this interview and it’s crystal clear little 50 and Philly Chopper under that blood hound spell.

  They moving just like Lil Jeff and Q50. These are just kids, man. Skipping class just to sit in front of a camera. It’s a Wednesday afternoon, man. Ain’t y’all supposed to be in school or something? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Why y’all in class? Y’all y’all ditching? >> High school drop. I got [laughter] to do a little ditch. >> No. >> Yeah.

 [clears throat] >> A little ditch. >> So, it’s a ditching or did y’all drop out? >> Nah, ditch. >> A little ditch. >> Okay. So, y’all still enrolled in school? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> In high school? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So, y’all did school to come to the interview? >> Damn. [laughter] >> In reality, they looking up to guys who ain’t even 5 years older than them.

 And that’s the sad  part because Lil Jeff got caught and killed back in July and Q50, he been leaked and shot on multiple occasions. Lil 50 was only 15. Nah. He’s cold just like Jeff. DJU tells Fully Chop the word on the street is he’s the baby little Jeff. You got eyes on you right now, little bro.

 I seen you on ready. They say Fully Chop two  time. They say this the baby blood hound, the baby little Jeff. Then he asked Lil 50 how he got that name cuz it’s obvious he ran with Q50. >> The song is featuring Q50. Lil 50. That’s how to pronounce the name. >> Q50 with 50. >> Say it again. >> Q50 with 50. >> Q50 with little 50.

>> Yeah. >> Okay. And that’s you right. Can you tell us how you came up with that name? >> All right. So look. Hey [snorts] guys, you know Q50? N. So one time we was in the Q50 like my name 50 right we was in the Q50 so we just yeah Q50 will 50 [sighs] >> okay yeah they definitely I thought it was from Q50 you know I didn’t know that’s why I asked you to explain it  >> Chop come from the same hood as PGF Nuke that crosswestern set Nuke went viral with Polo G but the law caught  up to him early in the year they say

these the baby Glocks the little 147s >> hey they say the these is the little PGF. >> Stay in it with the little 147s, [snorts] >> which is called baby Glocks. >> No, he ain’t PGF. >> I know you’re not. >> The bed stepped in on Tuesday charging PGF Nuke with two violent car jackets. Virgil Gibson,  22 years old.

They say he caught two people within 30 minutes at different gas stations on the south  side. First one at 59th in Morgan. Nerk, armed with a switch, took a man’s Malibu at gunpoint. 30 minutes later, he rolls up to 83rd in Cottage Grove in the stolen whip. He hops out and climb into a man’s 2022 Kia, forcing the driver into the passenger  seat.

 Made the man transfer the bag to his bank account. Made him strip out his clothes and tossed them out to whip. 12 caught him later hiding in a janitor’s closet in a phone store. Now he’s looking at a federal grand jury. Carjacking, machine gun charges, and kidnapping. The sad trend now, soon as you do an interview, you die right after it drops.

 That was the hand little 50 got deal. One day you on the screen, the next day you a memory. The city, it don’t play fair, folk. Fade out. A 15year-old shorty, just a young caught a hot one Tuesday night over in Woodline. Another young soul snatched, leaving the whole southside  feeling shaky and heavyhearted.

 12 say the boy was just posted in the alley 6600 block of  South Champagne when the metal started flying right around 8:30. Caught him in his body and his left leg. They rushed him to the spot, but he didn’t make it. The law blocked off the whole alley marking the ground  where the chaos happened.

 16 markers laying in the dirt next to the brass and his clothes  just sitting there like he was still in them. Man, it was a whole lot of shots.  It was scary cuz that static was right there so close to the crib. The sound of that heat piercing through the air at 8:30. That’s all folks heard. 12 rolled up the champagne and found him laying there.

It’s a shame, folk. It’s so cold cuz he was just a baby. >> It was so scary cuz it was so close. The sounds of gunfire piercing through this neighborhood around 8:30 Tuesday night. Chicago police responding to  the 6600 block of South Champlain where they found the victim. >> It’s sad.

 It’s so sad cuz he was so young, you know, and it’s like this generation is not able to live because like they getting tooken so fast and >> we should never get used to it. Um life expectancy  and teens doesn’t go well in the same sentence. >> This generation don’t even get to see the sun rise  cuz life get took so fast.

 We ain’t never supposed to get used to this. Life expectancy and teams in the chai, they don’t even go in the same sense. Word is he was an aspiring rapper, just another young star snuffed out in the dark. The pastor on the scene said  the vibe was heavy. A whole lot of trauma for the family and the whole hood.

 We got to speak life into these shorties.  Show them it’s another way out than the way of the gun. Neighbors say the gunfire starting to feel like a regular heartbeat. parents out here shaking,  scared for their own kids getting caught in the crossfire. It’d be like 2:00 in the morning, real late, and the ed stop popping.

>> It’d be like like around 2:00. It’ be real late at night, and it just be so many shots, like you don’t know where they’re coming from. It’s just so many, and you just, you know, wondering if everybody outside is okay.  >> Just last month, a 56-year-old man was inside his home in the 6600 block of South St.

 Lawrence when someone fired shots from the sidewalk. He was with his family, including grandchildren, when his life was brutally taken. >> It’s very scary. >> Last month, a 56-year-old OG was chilling in his own crib, 6600 block of South St. Lawrence, when someone on the sidewalk started letting it off. He was right there  with his fam, his grandkids, and all when they brutally snatched his life away.

 It’s scary out here, folk. The word is if you know  something, you got to say something. if you can help or even if you the one who let that metal fly and  you looking for a way out, there’s a hand reaching out to walk you through it. But as it  morning, the reason for the hit still a blank screen.

 12 is still looking for the ones who did it. Area 1 detectives are on the case asking anybody with the lowdown to hit him up or drop a tip online anonymously. THF Beu wasn’t just another rapper on the screen. He moved with that THF, trigger happy family. He was tied in with Lil Durk and F too. He had deep history, blood ties with both.

 So when his name popped up that night in Little Village, it didn’t even sound right. No static on the net, no loud buildup, just silence, then shots. Folks started asking that same old Chicago question. Who knew he was dead? Because in this city, someone always knows. Gang gang gang gang gang gang gang gang how they want it.

Set your ass up, dude. You talking about talking about Jal punch out you boy. [laughter] You know, you said some things about Beu that he’s broke. You know, what is your thoughts on that? Cuz I think you said that Beu, you know, wouldn’t be able to, you know, like you you felt like you’d have been able to get it back to watch his back if it was you.

>> I mean, hell yeah, for sure. It ain’t no if I would have if a did some snake to a with I’m cool  with or that my people in business with or doing business with or anything. You know what I’m saying? I’m a lot. No, you wrong. You bogus. Don’t do that. You You can’t do that.

 You know what I’m saying? I get into it with it over there. Like, so even doing some like that on my on my name, on my watch, like, you feel what I’m saying? like, “No, you don’t you don’t do like that to people.” You feel me? And he could have stopped it. He could have went and got it back. Or maybe he couldn’t. Who knows? Feel what I’m saying? But I was cool with folks, you feel me? We  used to be talking.

We used to be cool. You get what I’m saying? So, I was expecting him to make that right so it won’t be no extra behind it. You know what I’m saying? And he couldn’t. October  25th, 2025. Little Village, a place where  the culture is vibrant, the family stay tight, but the undercurrent, the undercurrent  is pure, unshakable violence.

 That Saturday afternoon started off like any other day on the west  side, but it ended in chaos, blood, and disbelief. A heavyweight name in a drill  scene got gunned down. Name tied to loyalty and real danger. THF Beoo. Three men in the hospital after a shooting at 31st  in St. Louis. 12 say they was just posted in a parking lot when a whip rolled up  and somebody inside started letting that iron spit.

 One man critical, the other two looking to survive, but as of now, no one in the cuffs. Witnesses say the L was still just the hum  of the traffic. Then without no warning, the streets exploded. No words, no  warnings, just lead tanning through the calm. Three men hit. One of them, 35year-old Devanch  K.

 The world knew him as THF Beoo. Inherit a lot of  It’d be dick sucking  that just want to  with who they want to  with and just inherit  beefs. You know what I’m saying? >> My block don’t be with all that  bro. That’s why we be out the way. For real. For real. But  know what’s up, though.

 Like these  could fly on me. These cameras do whatever they want to do, man. Like  know what’s up. >> Beu was  rushed to Mount Sinai, the doctor’s f, but the holes was too deep. Within hours, the news hit  the net like wildfire. Multiple rounds caught him in the torso in his body. The shooter didn’t linger.

 That whip vanished into the Chicago grid like smoke in the wind. 12 rolled up in minutes.  Sirens slice in the air. The ground was littered with brass,  rifle rounds, handgun rounds, dozens of them. This wasn’t no random drill. Whoever came that day, they came prepared. A figure who survived the wars, the rumors, and the rivalries only to get snatched in a flash of gunfire on a quiet Saturday.

 Man, look, Steuart Little was running around this  man trying to be Mickey Mouse and put a folk in something. Bro, that case I was fighting back in 08 to09, I ain’t even getting knocked for a murder  till 2014. You do the math. Five years later, somebody lied on me, folks. Simply as that.

 By nightfall, detectives had the block cordoned off, marking every shell, every blood stain, every piece of glass. Dozens of folks heard the shots, but nobody saw the shooter. An unknown whip, that’s all 12 can confirm. No suspects, no arrest, no motive. Was it a setup, a personal beef,  or something way more calculated? A message? He moved with THF and was  tight with Dirk and F.

 Ties like that come with respect and a whole lot of enemies. One thing about my block, bro, they do them. They don’t be looking for that static.  It be these folks that just want to be down. Inheriting beefs that ain’t even theirs. My block don’t be with all that. We stay out the way for real. But they know what’s up.

 These cameras, they can do whatever. But the streets know. They say it happened on the west side. And if  you know the chai, you know the west side ain’t safe ground for THF. That’s where THFTP lost his life. It’s a part of the city where the lines get blurred. Alliances one day, enemies  the next.

 Then it got weird. When the blogs hit, folks started posting a different name. If you know, you know. That name was tied  to THFTP and the revenge hits that followed. Was it all connected or just another round in a cycle nobody can escape? Different crews, different years, but the same quiet pattern. Not enemies kicking down doors, but  trust being used as a weapon.

 In Chicago, the scariest setups don’t feel dangerous at all. They feel familiar. And by the time you realize you’ve been backed, it’s already  too late. There it is, folk. Another day, another name, another story carved into the pavement of the shot. You already know how we coming. You locked in with hood edition and you don’t want to be the one lacking. Stay dangerous.

Stay alive and keep your eyes on the back door. We out.
