US Rapper Ybcdul Shot Dead in Olney Incident
Abdul Vicks, an American rapper known as “Ybcdul” and the suspected leader of a violent gang in West Philadelphia, was shot and killed on Friday in the Olney neighborhood. Ybcdul, who was also called “Mr. Disrespectful,” was shot several times in the chest and right hand on N. 6th Street around 3:34 pm, according to reports. Although he was taken to Einstein Medical Center, he was pronounced dead by 3:55 pm.
Vicks was believed to be the leader of the Young Bag Chasers (YBC) gang, which inspired his stage name. His death has raised concerns and led to ongoing investigations, but no arrests have been made yet. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Homicide Unit or the police tipline.
Earlier this month, another rapper, Quamere Hall, known as “Mere Pablo” and thought to be connected to Vicks, was arrested in connection with a fatal shooting from last year.
