It is a substantial amount of time no matter how you look at it. Each of the 5 defendants Charles Liggins (“C Murda”), Kenneth Roberson (“Kenny Mac”), Tacarlos Offerd ( “Los”), Christopher Thomas (“C Thang”), and Marcus Smart ( “Muwop”) are all charged with murder in aid of racketeering, as well as firearms violations and assaults in aid of racketeering. prosecutors allege the defendants are members of the O Block faction of the Black Disciples gang, which claims territory in the Parkway Gardens Homes located at 64th and King Drive. FBG Duck was allegedly affiliated with Fly Boy Gang, a rival faction of the Gangster Disciples that hold territory a few blocks away. The controversial “Slide” rapper was gunned down on August 4, 2020 in the Gold Coast area of downtown Chicago.
