O'Shea also asks for anyone to assist in the investigation if they know any information regarding the shooting.

"We’ll take every tip we can get. It could be the most minute thing but it helps our detectives out in putting the pieces of this puzzle together,"

Activist Ja'Mal Green also spoke to the Chicago Sun-Times regarding how popular Duck was in the city.

"He was pretty popular and, at the end of the day, there are going to be a lot of people angry at this," the 24-year-old shared.

"A lot of young people are going to lose hope because he was an idol. It’s going to take the city a large effort to help young people cope with this loss."

Chicago Mayor, Lori Lightfoot, also co-signed the police's plea for the public to help them. She claimed that people should “Give no shelter to killers.”

“What we’re seeing is a manifestation of a larger problem, which is that way too many young men — particularly young men of color — have access to guns and are willing to use those guns to settle petty grievances,” Lightfoot added. “We must step up and do the right thing. People who are involved in these shootings are not strangers. They are known in the community, on the block.”

Prior to Duck's murder, he released his new "Dead B" single on August 1. His last project was his 'Big Clout 2' mixtape in 2018.
