Dante Dockett, a longtime member of Chicago’s Wicked Town faction who has admitted to fatally shooting six people, explained to a jury why he turned on his gang.
Deshawn Morgan was immersed in Chicago’s West Side gang culture before he was even out of grade school, dealing drugs at age 12 and rising in the ranks of the Mafia Insane Vice Lords.
Prosecutors warned jurors before testimony began last week that they would see evidence of graphic violence allegedly committed by the Wicked Town street gang.
Prosecutors allege a killing was a crucial step in the ascension of Donald Lee, a reputed gang assassin who they say “literally shot his way to the top” of the Wicked Town faction of the Traveling Vice Lords.
