Banks, the older brother of local rapper Lil Durk, was at a club in Harvey, Illinois, when he was shot in the head in June 2021. The shooting also injured a Harvey City Police Department officer. Banks had been partying in the territory of his opponents, the Gangster Disciples, despite the risks. In the weeks leading up to the shooting, Banks had made inflammatory posts disrespecting rival gangs CMB and Gutter Gang, leading to speculation that the shooting was in retaliation for his disrespect. Two potential suspects, both rival gang members, were identified, and just a month after the shooting, they were shot at a gas station, leading to further speculation. The names of the suspects have not been confirmed by police, and as of today, their identities remain unknown. Banks had a history of danger, with an incident in 2014 involving his younger brother and famous rapper Lil Durk having beef with another gang.00:05:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "The Orchestrated Hit Of OTF DThang: Ambushed Outside The Club," the rapper Mubo Crump and his crew had a violent encounter with OTF member DThang and several others at a meet and greet hosted by TI and Shop 147 in Harvey, Illinois, in 2014. The incident was captured on camera, and OTF members taunted Mubo's crew on social media. Four years later, on October 8, 2018, DThang was shot in a McDonald's parking lot, and his cousin Baby D was killed. The suspects in DThang's shooting were identified as 33-year-old JY Hawkins, formerly affiliated with NLC, and 19-year-old Jaylen Anderson, a former member of Guta gang. The shooting was believed to be a targeted hit due to the long-standing tension and rivalries between the two gangs, as well as DThang's previous dissing of Gutter Gang and his association with Lil Durk. The incident took a significant turn when, just a month after DThang's passing, JY Hawkins and Jaylen Anderson were shot at a gas station. Many believed that the shooting was a retaliation for DThang's death, and Lil Durk's social media activity seemed to support this theory. However, this has not been officially confirmed, and Lil Durk has not commented on the accusations. DThang's passing was a significant loss for Lil Durk, who had also lost other close friends and associates over the years.00:10:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "The Orchestrated Hit Of OTF DThang: Ambushed Outside The Club," the narrative shifts to the role of OTF Thing in supporting Lil Durk's music career. In 2010, when Durk was gaining traction in the hip-hop world, Thing used his resources to help fund his brother's music career. This investment proved crucial in launching Durk's career. However, as Durk began making questionable financial decisions, Thing advised him to invest in a trucking company instead of spending money on clothes.
Tragically, Thing himself became a victim of the violence plaguing the streets of Chicago. In May 2021, he was shot and killed outside a club. Thing had recently purchased a new chain to commemorate fallen OTF members, including King Vaughn and OTF Nusi. The loss of Thing was deeply felt by Lil Durk, who continued to honor his memory in his music. Thing's former girlfriend and numerous fans, friends, and family members also paid tribute to him as a kind, fun-loving man with a great heart. The investigation into Thing's murder is ongoing, and the hope is that more information will come to light and bring the case to a conclusion. Rest in peace, OTF Thing.
