How would you like to get out of the County jail and get shot 64 times?
Well, that’s just what happened to KTS DRE. His real name was Londre Sylvester and he was 31 years old. “KTS” stands for “Kill To Survive."
The phrase was tattooed on KTS Dre's neck with a target symbol. How ironic.
Sylvester had just been released from custody and was fitted for electronic monitoring as a condition of his bail, the police report said. He and a 60-year-old woman were walking “to an awaiting vehicle when several unknown (suspects) exited two separate vehicles and all began to shoot in Sylvester’s direction, striking him numerous times,” the police report said.
Fifty-nine shell casings littered the 2700 block of West 27th Street in Little Village — across the street from the jail — around 8:50 p.m. The 31-year-old man was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9:25 p.m. The police report said Sylvester suffered as many as 64 bullet wounds to his head and other parts of his body, however a full autopsy report detailing his injuries won’t be released for weeks.
Attempts to reach the 60-year-old woman who was shot were unsuccessful.
A second woman, a 30-year-old who was walking in the area at the time, suffered a graze wound to her mouth, according to a police report.
If he is 31 and the woman was 60, sounds like his mother just bailed him out and he got her shot while he was killed. Reminiscent of Honeycomb Brazy, but at least in this case it was the rapper who got killed and the parent or grandparent who only got shot. (insert news).
“Londre” aka KTS Dre was in jail for violating bond on a 2020 felony gun case. He went in on July 1st, and it “only took a week or so” for the people that allegedly loved him to come up with $5k to get him out of Cook County Jail.
He was ordered to get an electronic ankle monitor before his release, but whoever wanted to get their get back didn’t even give him a chance.
I’m not here to promote the War in Chiraq like DJ Twerpademic, but it bears mentioning that the 3 sided gang beef he was mixed up in.
He was from Lakeside the area and part of the Kill to Survive KTS click which pairs Vice Lords and Gangster Disciples down on the East Side of Chicago… which is anything on the South Side east of State street and includes some of Chicago’s most violent neighborhoods. By some estimates there has been an incredible 21 murders from the KTS and Lakeside vs TerrorTown beef.
The Cook County Jail is the size of 72 NFL football fields put together and has been under a Federal consent decree since 1980! Which means they admit the jail is poorly run and violent and “fix it” before the Feds come in and take over… but obviously that’s a dog and pony show since its been going on for 40 years. Divisions 9 and 10 of the jail — the largest single-site jail in the country — was described as also being one of the most violent by experts at a recent Federal hearing about the violence guards inflict on inmates there.
A video played in federal court shows a prisoner in a yellow jumpsuit bent over at the waist and crying out as a sheriff's deputy lifts the man's handcuffed hands above his head as he led him to an elevator. And to give you an idea of how chaotic and dangerous Cook County is, inmates can sign themselves into protective custody at any time, actually making it a prime location to find an inmate targeted for attack. For example one inmate wants to get at another, so they are held on different tiers. But if the target makes the mistake of going into protective custody, his stalker can simply sign himself into PC as well and pounce. Sounds like the opposite of protection to me.
