The Goonie Gang sounds like an after-school club for little kids, but it really was a vicious criminal organization involved in three shootouts a day on the South Side during the summer of 2016, federal prosecutors say.
The Goonie Gang sounds like an after-school club for little kids, but it really was a vicious criminal organization involved inThe small group, also known as the Goonie Boss gang, spread "terror and mayhem" throughfrom 2014 to 2018, when four reputed members were indicted in a racketeering case, according to prosecutors.
The evidence against the Goonies includes secret recordings of defendants incriminating themselves about shootings, prosecutors say. An inmate wearing a wire secretly recorded Turman admitting the 2016 killing of Kenneth Whittaker in retaliation for the murder of Goonie member Robert Vaughn, according to prosecutors.
Separately, Christian Sivels, another reputed Goonie Gang member, is facing a state murder charge in the 2016 killing of David Easley, who was in Englewood delivering a pair of shoes to his daughter when he was shot, according to authorities.Sivels, 23, is being held at the Cook County Jail, where he also is charged with fighting and exposing himself to female guards.
In a court filing, a lawyer for Blackman says the accusation that the Goonies banded together to commit violent crimes against other gangs is something that should be decided in state court.In recent years, federal authorities have brought conspiracy charges against other small gang factions accused of inflicting terror in Chicago. Those factions include Wicked Town, part of the Traveling Vice Lords in Austin, and O Block, a Black Disciples faction in Woodlawn.
