Two cars, a dark Ford Fusion and a gray Chrysler 300, pulled up and four gunmen jumped out and opened fire about 4:30 p.m., police said.AdvertisementWeekly was shot more than a dozen times, according to a police report. His girlfriend, who told police she was waiting in a parked car, was shot twice in the left wrist. A 36-year-old man was hit in the back and leg.Chicago police say Weekly may have been targeted because he had recently made a video featuring “derogatory statements” about rival gang members who have died.Weekly was a member of a Gangster Disciples faction that has been involved in a fierce feud with the Black Disciples on the South Side, according to police.Officers in at least four police districts — Wentworth, Grand Crossing, Gresham and Englewood — have been warned to use “extreme caution” because of the “high probability of further violence,” according to an advisory issued by the department.“Intelligence suggests that both these gangs are in possession of large caliber and high capacity firearms,” it adds.Three years ago, Weekly’s older brother Jermaine Robinson was shot and killed in a double homicide in Woodlawn on the South Side, according to police and Weekly’s Apple Music biography. Robinson was also a rapper who performed under the name FBG Brick. Advertisement
