Man found dead with gunshot wound to back of the head in Chicago alley
A man was found unresponsive in an Auburn Gresham alley with a gunshot wound to the back of the head Friday morning.
No one is currently in custody.
Hamilton was part of a group of rappers known as the "Fly Boy Gang." Nearly two years ago, another member of the group, FBG Duck, was killed in broad daylight on the Gold Coast by four masked shooters who left behind 38 bullet casings.
Four members of a street gang faction have been charged with the murder of FBG Duck, whose real name was Carlton Weekly. In April, Hamilton had been asked about rumors that he was somehow involved in Weekly’s death.
In a YouTube video, Cash denied any involvement, insisting it was a "crazy internet rumor."
Hamilton had served prison time on gun charges several years ago and had been arrested again last year after police said they found a gun after stopping Hamilton for driving erratically.
He was charged with being an armed habitual criminal, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and felony possession of a weapon. The case was dismissed last fall.
