A Chicago rapper by the name FBG Duck is suspected dead after a
shooting in Gold Coast on the north side of Chicago Tuesday
afternoon.

Three people out shopping, including FBG Duck, were shot around
4:30 p.m., when two SUVs pulled up to the group, and two men got
out of each vehicle and opened fire, the local Fox 32 news
outlet reported.

The 26 year-old artist, born Carlton Weekly, was struck several
times and taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

JULY WAS DEADLIEST MONTH IN CHICAGO HISTORY, POLICE
SUPERINTENDENT SAYS

A 36 year-old man and a 26 year-old woman were taken to
Northwestern Memorial Hospital and are in critical condition,
said Deputy Police Chief Daniel O’Shea at the scene Tuesday
evening.

“Popular rapper FBG Duck has just been pronounced dead after
being shot in the Gold Coast an hour ago. Prayers up for his
family, bring justice to them after this senseless act,” former
Chicago mayoral candidate Ja’Mal Green tweeted Tuesday,
originally reported by Black Entertainment Television.

O’Shea told reporters he could not confirm who was killed, but
acknowledged that a crowd was forming in front of the hospital.

“We don’t expect this type of activity in the neighborhood, our
officers were on the scene very quickly and rendered first aid,”
O’Shea told reporters.

“This area is well policed and this was something that was
specifically targeted for these individuals,” he added.

O’Shea said the case is under investigation, and police are
still trying to determine if all three were targeted or if any
were bystanders to the intended victim.

The deputy chief said gun arrests were up across the city, and
noted that “officers are out there doing their job day in and
day out, and to see this happen in the middle of the day is very
disturbing.”

The gunman was last seen westbound on Oak Street in a black
Taurus and a silver-colored Chrysler 300.
