Gregory J. Shondale, known on the street as Tooka, was 15 when he was shot dead on January 12, 2011, at a CTA bus stop on 63rd Street and St. Lawrence in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood. According to reports, a masked gunman stepped from a vehicle, exchanged words with Tooka and then shot him multiple times; paramedics found him dead at the scene.

Tooka was believed to be a member of the Gangster Disciples, and his killing has been described as part of ongoing retaliatory violence between the Gangster Disciples and the Black Disciples. His death was reportedly linked to tensions after the 2009 killing of a Black Disciples member named Eddrick TY Walker, and has been characterized as an act of revenge.

Afterward, Tooka’s name surfaced frequently in the Chicago drill music scene, used both in tributes and as a taunt in diss tracks. No one has been officially charged in the killing and the case remains unsolved. Does anyone have information about Tooka, his whereabouts that day, or the dispute that led to his death?
