Following the verdict, State Attorney Melissa Nelson stated: “Five years ago, Hakeem Robinson and Leroy Whitaker stalked a man and gunned him down in broad daylight because of disputes and drill rap. Today, a jury held them accountable for their brazen crimes.”

Musical artist Hakeem Robinson, known by his stage name Ksoo, has been found guilty in the Lil Buck case. He is convicted of first-degree murder in the January 2020 shooting of Charles McCormick Jr.

Ksoo’s co-defendant, Leroy Whitaker, who performs under the name ATK Scotty, was also convicted of first-degree murder, along with burglary with assault or battery, during a noon-hour verdict delivered earlier this week.
