According ABC 7 Chicago, friends and people who know the deceased man identified the victim as Chicago rapper FBG Duck. FBG Duck was 26 years-old. ‘FBG’ is the abbreviation for “Fly Boy Gang.”
FBG was shot in the chest, the groin, and neck. He was transported by Chicago Fire Department paramedics to Level 1 Trauma Center Northwestern Memorial Hospital where he died.

A 36-year-old male victim with gunshot wounds in the back and side was transported to Level 1 Trauma Center Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition.

According to an FBG Duck interview with journalist Vladislav Lyubovny “DJ Vlad” in 2017, FBG Duck had been shot on two separate occasions — once in the ankle and calf, and then on a second occasion he was shot in the same leg as the first time. In the interview, FBG Duck also said that he was stabbed in the abdomen by a girlfriend. In the interview, FBG Duck said he moved around like a ghost to prevent getting shot. He said he could see you, but you can’t see him.

When asked by Lyubovny (VLADTV) whether FBG Duck was concerned about his safety with gang wars occurring, the rapper said he never takes his kids out in public. He said he know the kind of lifestyle he lives and would put his children in harm’s way. He said if he takes his kids outside, they go to the suburbs. In the 2017 interview, he said he doesn’t walk the sidewalks with his kids in the City of Chicago.

It’s a shame. It’s dumb as hell, but that’s what goes on.”
