Abdul Vicks, 25, known as rapper YBC Dul and described as leader of a street gang called the Young Bag Chasers, was shot and killed in broad daylight on August 23, 2024, in Philadelphia’s Olney neighborhood. At about 3:30 p.m. he sat in his vehicle at a red light on the 100 block of West Olney Avenue when occupants of another car pulled alongside and at least two people opened fire, striking Vicks multiple times. His passenger drove him to Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital, where he died shortly afterward.
Police treated the attack as a targeted, gang-related killing. Investigators found the getaway car, a stolen Kia Sportage, burned in an apparent effort to destroy evidence but still recovered DNA, fingerprints, and other forensic material. Surveillance footage captured the shooting and movements before and after. The probe led to arrests of several people connected to a rival Olney-based gang called Fastbreak: 16-year-old Aiden Waters, 18-year-old Rashawn Williams, and 19-year-old Naier Briscoe, each charged with murder and related offenses. Authorities later arrested 39-year-old Latoya Donaldson, Aiden Waters’s mother, on murder charges after video reportedly showed her handing a rifle to teens before they left.
Prosecutors say video shows the teens celebrating after the killing and have said Waters helped plan the attack though they no longer believe he was at the scene. The case is moving through the court system. Does anyone have information about Vicks, his movements that day, or the vehicle involved?
