Earnest Wilson, a 65-year-old African American man known as Don Smokey, was shot dead on May 18, 2018, in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood. Police found him about 11:30 p.m. lying in the 7100 block of South Euclid Avenue with a gunshot wound to his face; he was pronounced dead at the scene. He lived on the same block, so the attack occurred close to his home.

Investigators linked Wilson’s killing to internal Gangster Disciples conflict. An indictment unsealed in East St. Louis named two men, Griffin and Dobbins, alleging they shot and killed Wilson during a power struggle after being appointed to top gang positions by the imprisoned founder Larry Hoover. The charges were part of a wider federal racketeering case that included multiple violent crimes connected to the gang’s leadership and operations in Illinois and Missouri.

Does anyone have information about Wilson’s life on South Euclid Avenue or the night of May 18, 2018?
