A local musician who was fatally shot in broad daylight on Tuesday in Chicago’s affluent Gold Coast neighborhood is believed to have been killed by a rival gang member who found him by tracking the victim’s Internet activity, officials said Wednesday. Rapper FBG Duck, whose real name was Carlton Weekly, was allegedly involved with a gang and was located by rivals after detailing his travels in live-streamed videos, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said. “This was an individual who fancies himself as a rapper but is also a member of a gang,” said Lightfoot, a Democrat, during an unrelated Wednesday morning press conference. Weekly, 26, was shot multiple times and was rushed to a nearby hospital, but could not be saved. It has also boasted big-name residents, including Vince Vaughn, Bill and Giuliana Rancic, and several Chicago-based athletes, according to multiple reports from Curbed Chicago.
