Death
On September 26, 2013, while leaving the recording studio around 6:00 PM, LA Capone went to look for his ride down the street, as he was walking down an alley near 70th Street and Stony Island Avenue, he was approached by an assailant later identified as Lil Mick an 051 young money rival member on foot, and four backshots were soon fired, hitting him in his thigh. Upon hearing of the shooting, Lil Durk, who has been friends with him for more than five years, tweeted his wishes for him to get better, but he would later tweet “RIP Lil Bro” in Capone’s twitter around 8:00PM. There were many speculations on who killed L'A Capone before his killers were charged, L'A Capone's gang (600) was at war with numerous rival gangs such as the GD’s (Tookaville/ STL/EBT). L'A even dissed one of their dead members in his song "Play For Keeps" in which he said “Shondale how the hot sh*t feel." But the gang whom most people believed was behind the murder was 051 Young Money, a Mickey Cobra set.
In August 2014, the news came out that 3 individuals were charged with L'A Capone's murder. Hardy-Johnson and Michael Mays, both members of 051 Young Money, were charged with first degree murder. A third individual, Meiko Buchanan whom authorities claim was the driver of a tail car was also charged in connection with Capone's murder. Authorities claim that all three confessed to the crime after being booked.
