A federal jury Tuesday convicted the head of the relentlessly violent Wicked Town street gang and held him responsible for six murders at the end of a two-month racketeering trial at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse.
The jury also heard from a parade of fellow Wicked Town conspiracy members. They were charged last year with Lee and Benson, but they pleaded guilty and admitted frankly to their own crimes on the witness stand, including murder.
That friend, Donald Holmes Jr., was shot to death along with Diane Taylor in a Jeep Cherokee on Jan. 31, 2018, in the 4700 block of Arthington Street. Darius "Skudder" Murphy was later allegedly caught on tape bragging that he shot Holmes and Taylor in their heads. The Jeep was sitting outside Murphy’s home at the time of the killings. He has since admitted to their murders.
She also stressed the trial was not a "town hall meeting" and the verdict would "say nothing" about the scourge of street-gang violence in Chicago. The Wicked Town conspiracy spanned two decades, from July 2000 to August 2020. The feds argued that three rules governed the gang, which was a faction of the Traveling Vice Lords. Wicked Town members were never to lose a gun or talk to law enforcement. And, they were expected to use violence to advance their goals."You don’t ever sell one of the guns that can save one of the guys’ life," Lee told a fellow gang member in an April 2019 phone call, according to the evidence.
