According to ABC7 Chicago, DThang was fatally shot outside of a strip club called Club O in Harvey, roughly 20 minutes outside of Chicago. Alleged witnesses at the scene claimed he was struck in the head and died instantly.
Harvey spokeswoman Giavonni Nickson said multiple shots were fired during the incident and “lots of weapons” were recovered on-site.
Shortly before DThang was killed, a Harvey police officer heard gunfire and noticed a person with a gun. As more gunfire erupted, the officer was struck in the thigh, but it’s unclear if the officer returned fire or was targeted.
