No bail for man charged with murdering 3 in early 2000s
Brian Slodysko

A self-styled music producer and longtime member of the Gangster Disciples street gang was ordered held without bail Sunday after prosecutors alleged he murdered three members of his own gang in the early 2000s.

Prosecutors said Rickey “Suave” Royal, 42, had long been a suspect in the 2000 murder of Richard McCarthy, the 2001 murder of Joseph Ross, and the 2003 murder of Leonard Perry.

But it wasn’t until recently, when new witnesses came forward, that they had enough evidence to charge Royal, of the 5000 block of South Champlain, with three counts of first-degree murder.

Royal appeared before Judge Peggy Chiampas in a Cook County courtroom Sunday while his family stood in support in the visitors’ area toward the back. When she ruled that he could not be released on bail, Chiampas noted that Royal faced mandatory life in prison if convicted.

Assistant State’s Attorney Karen Kerbis, who specializes in gang crime prosecutions, said Royal was a member of a splinter faction of the Gangster Disciples called the “Crazy Crew,” which sold drugs out of the former Cabrini-Green housing project.

Royal, who pleaded guilty at 15 to participating in a 1987 gang rape of a woman, was ambitious and ruthless when he was released from prison, prosecutors said.

In September 2001, Royal was at a party near the high-rises when he confronted one of his drug dealers, Richard McCarthy, who owed him money, Kerbis said. During the confrontation, Royal shot McCarthy in the legs, Kerbis said. McCarthy died from his wounds.

In July 2002, Royal shot Joseph Ross, a 33-year-old gang member, who was leaving Cook County jail after a meeting with an incarcerated Ganger Disciple leader, prosecutors said.

A tail car followed Ross and another person as they drove north from the jail. All the while, they were communicating Ross’ location to Royal, who was waiting with another shooter at a bus stop near California and Cermak, prosecutors.

When the car Ross was in approached, Royal opened fire, killing Ross, prosecutors said. The motive for killing Ross apparently was a street-tax on drugs that gang leaders were trying to force Royal to pay, despite his protest, prosecutors said.

The third murder Royal was charged with occurred in March 2003. Leonard Perry, formerly a close confidant of Royal, was killed execution-style with a gunshot to the back of the head, prosecutors said.

Perry, 33, purportedly helped Royal kill Ross. But he was killed because Royal had begun to suspect him of being a police informant, prosecutors said. Perry, who had been incarcerated at Cook County Jail for a period, was moved out of general population a one point — a move that other gang members in jail noted.

Once he was out, Royal confronted Perry about his suspicions, prosecutors said. Perry confirmed that he had, in fact, been working as an informant, but promised never to rat on Royal.

“Rickey Royal apparently did not believe that assurance,” Kerbis said.

Perry’s body was found in the 7600 block of South Perry with at least one .38 caliber bullet in his skull, Kerbis said.

Both Royal and his family were ordered by the judge to have no contact with any of the witnesses who may come forward to testify against Royal. They declined to comment as they left court.

Here's an earlier article that goes into the GD renegades at Cabrini Green:


January 05, 1989|By Robert Blau.

A bloody power struggle-marked by 14 shootings in the last month-has broken out at the Cabrini-Green housing complex as a renegade band of street gang members seeks control of a portion of the lucrative drug trade.

According to police, the shootings began in early December. The group`s offensive, which thus far has not claimed any lives, has shattered unwritten rules that for years have governed the drug business at Cabrini-Green.

Police, who have increased patrols in the Near North Side housing complex as a response to the violence, say that the renegade faction has led a systematic and brutal assault on other more established gangs in the project in order to secure and protect its own drug turf.

``If you control the building, you control the trade, you`re making the money,`` said Lt. Eddie King, commanding officer of the Public Housing North unit.

The drug turf battle has intensified the violence associated with the narcotics trade in the complex and is a microcosm of what police say has been occurring elsewhere in the city.

In 1988, there were approximately 60 narcotics-related homicides in Chicago. In the last 2 1/2 years, at least 30 unsolved slayings have been linked to battles over drug territories in the city.

According to police, street gangs such as those fighting each other in Cabrini-Green control the vast majority of street narcotics sales in the city. ``There is a battle going on,`` said David Wolfe, director of the Chicago Urban League`s Near North Service Center, whose office borders Cabrini.

``Around midnight it`s like a shooting gallery: small arms fire, shotgun blasts, automatic weapons fire. You can see the muzzle flashes from atop the buildings . . . it`s about the drug situation.

``We`ve seen young kids with walkie-talkies standing on corners reporting on police activities when they do their transactions,`` Wolfe added.

Police trace the latest round of violence to a group of teenagers who split from the 400- to 500-member gang that dominates the drug trade at Cabrini-Green.

Police say the target of their investigation is 19-year-old Charles Dorsey, the alleged leader of the renegade faction who was arrested last week on weapons charges.

Before splitting from the gang, Dorsey was given management control of three buildings in the complex, according to Lt. Walter Conrad, of the East Chicago Avenue District tactical unit. Now, Dorsey has surrounded himself with 25 followers who have been responsible for most of the shootings and is attempting to keep control of the buildings, according to Conrad.

Two of Dorsey`s underlings have been arrested in connection with the shootings, but have been charged only with misdemeanors because, as is often the case with gang violence, the victims have been reluctant to pursue the cases, police said.

Last Thursday police raided what they termed one of Dorsey`s safe houses at 4453 N. Albany Ave. and recovered three fully-loaded semiautomatic weapons and several ski masks allegedly worn by members of a ``hit squad`` who led midnight ``intimidation`` raids on other gang-controlled buildings in Cabrini, police said.

Four members of the ``hit squad`` were arrested on gun charges during the raid, police said. In addition, six other weapons were confiscated.

Sources in the Police Department said that Dorsey gained power last year when he was appointed a ``regent`` by William Hope, the now-imprisoned gang leader convicted in September of gun possession charges. A ``regent`` controls drug sales in several buildings, according to police.

Since Hope`s conviction, police say, the hierarchy of the gang has begun to loosen and its power has become more diffuse.

The drug trade at Cabrini-Green is extremely profitable. According to police, as much as $5,000 a day in profits can be extracted from the traffic at Dorsey`s three buildings.

Police say that no matter who`s in control, the systems of distribution and sales of narcotics are usually similar. Most entry level positions are doled out to young teens who-for a $50 salary-sell as many as 50 $25 bags of cocaine and 50 marijuana cigarettes each day.

Police say that some sell narcotics on consignment, but must make payment in five days. Sellers who return with less than the full amount due are severely beaten-those who produce are entitled to a greater share of the profits.

Police said the split occurred after Dorsey began buying drugs from outside sources, instead of from gang-authorized suppliers, and began keeping the profits-a breach of gang rules.

``If you`re dealing for the gang, you`re going to accept their protection and you`re going to make a profit,`` Lt. Conrad said. ``You`re not going to necessarily try and become Scarface.``

Some gang members attempted to mediate the rift, but they were shot at by Dorsey`s hit squad, police said.

Chuck Dorsey was supposed to be the successor to Larry Hoover but it didn't last long.

Remember I posted a court document about the directors trying to whack another high rank GD and they mention how Hoover was upset about the killing and he left him or somebody as city wide leader.

Speaking of which on Shorty G position, Do you know how many people on his count and how much land under his control?

Long time no hear Cabrini. Hope you've been well and I've posted those court documents in the past about Chuck being in that position. As usual crickets were lurking.

This is a blast from the past! It's been almost 6 years since this info was posted.
