US Edition6 'Faceworld' Gang Members Indicted In Conspiracy Tied To 13 Murders, Carjackings, Assaults: Feds
Six Faceworld Gangster Disciples members face racketeering charges linked to 13 homicides and violent crimes amid gang feuds, prosecutors say three face murder charges.
- A federal grand jury indicted six alleged Faceworld faction members on Dec. 15 in U.S. District Court in Chicago, charging them with racketeering conspiracy tied to 13 homicides.
- Prosecutors allege the violence stemmed from longstanding feuds with rival crews Wuga World and 900 and was used to further drug trafficking and intimidate witnesses.
- The indictment details shootings at a CTA bus and mourners, a July 2020 funeral near 79th and Carpenter wounding at least 15, and fatal shootings including victims Brittani Rice and Senobia Brantley.
- All six defendants are currently in custody and charged with racketeering conspiracy, which carries up to 20 years; Harper, Foy, and Tapplar face possible death penalties for murder in aid of racketeering, prosecutors said.
- With help from law enforcement, the U.S. Attorney's Office emphasized that charges are not proof of guilt, and Father Michael Pfleger offered a $15,000 reward, saying `If there's not consequences, there's no reason to feel like you're going to get caught. Then people continue to do it`.
