Jermaine FBG Brick Robinson, a 26-year-old African American man and participant in Chicago’s local rap scene, was fatally shot on July 17, 2017, in the Woodlawn neighborhood. The shooting occurred about 2:50 PM on the 6300 block of South St. Lawrence Avenue. Robinson was found in front of a home with a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene; a postmortem found multiple gunshot wounds and ruled his death a homicide.

Robinson was a member of the Fly Boy Gang (FBG), a group tied to the Gangster Disciples, and his killing was reported as part of ongoing gang-related violence and rivalries in the area. A friend, Stanley Jacob Mack, known as Coby Mack, was also shot that afternoon and found in a rear gangway with gunshot wounds; he too was pronounced dead at the scene. As of the latest account, no arrests or significant investigative developments have been reported, with a lack of witnesses cited as an obstacle.

Robinson’s death deeply affected his family, including his younger brother Carlton Weekly, known as FBG Duck, and his mother LaSheena Weekly, who has spoken about the toll of gun violence on the family. Does anyone have information about the July 17, 2017 shootings or remember seeing activity near South St. Lawrence Avenue that afternoon?
