Lawrence Loggins, 46, was shot to death on February 6, 2019, in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood. Known as Big Law and identified as the leader of the Black Disciples, he was found with a gunshot wound to the head while sitting in a parked car near his home. His right-hand man, Kenneth Brown, suffered a graze wound in the same attack. Witnesses reported the attackers fled in a gray Infiniti sedan.

Investigators tied the killing to wider criminal activity: a police informant alleged Loggins’ murder was linked to missing drugs and firearms from a shipment supplied by the Mexican Gulf Cartel. The informant said Kenneth Brown connected the missing narcotics and guns to Loggins’ death. The FBI later seized 10 kilograms of cocaine from a storage unit rented by Brown, and a federal probe resulted in arrests of multiple people on drug and gun trafficking charges on the South Side. Darnell McMiller was identified by authorities as the Black Disciples’ leader following Loggins’ death.

Loggins had also worked as a violence interrupter with CeaseFire Illinois, a detail many found notable given his gang role. The shooting raised strong concerns about retaliatory violence and a power vacuum within the gang. If anyone knew Lawrence, Kenneth Brown, or activity in Englewood around February 6, 2019, please share information that could help the investigation.
