CHICAGO (ABC7) - Chicago drill rapper Londre Sylvester was killed in a hail of bullets as he walked out of Cook County Jail over the weekend, a day after his fiancé had posted his bail.
Sylvester, 31, who performed as KTS Dre and Kutthroat Dreko, was standing with a 60-year-old woman in the 2700 block of South California Avenue when a car pulled up around 8:50 p.m. Saturday and two gunmen fired off dozens of shots.
Court records indicate Sylvester's fiancé had put up $5,000 on Friday to secure his release on charges of violating a previous bond in a 2020 gun case.
It was not clear why Sylvester did not walk out of the jail until the next day, or how the gunmen knew he would be leaving then. The Cook County sheriff's office deferred comment to the Chicago Police Department, which declined to release any more details of the attack.
Police reports identified Sylvester as a member of the Lakeside faction of the Gangster Disciples, and mugshots show he had the words "Kill To Survive" tattooed on his neck beneath what appeared to be a gun sight.
Sylvester was struck in the face and chest and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said. The woman, 60, was struck in the knee and taken to Stroger Hospital, where she was listed in good condition.
Another woman, 35, was standing nearby and was grazed by a bullet to her face, police said. She was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and was also listed in good condition.
