Afternoon Briefing: Highland Park, Deerfield regulate bus drop-offs after migrants repeatedly ‘abandoned’
Good afternoon, Chicago.
A federal jury in Chicago today found six purported gang members guilty of carrying out the brazen 2020 murder of drill rapper FBG Duck in the city’s posh Gold Coast neighborhood.
The jury of five men and seven women, who have remained anonymous due to security concerns surrounding the case, deliberated for about 16 hours over three days before announcing it had reached a verdict, finding the group guilty of the murder in furtherance of a racketeering scheme.
FBG Duck was killed in a hail of bullets as he was shopping for his son along the ritzy Oak Street shopping corridor on Aug. 4, 2020.
