Summary of the Hitz (Langley079/8 🔱) FOIA
*ALL CREDIT GOES TO r/dsmoke1 TO MY KNOWLEDGE HE ORIGINALLY GOT THIS FOIA YEARS AGO BUT NEVER POSTED IT*
All infomation gathered from this post was either gained through a legal FOIA request or public infomation posted to various platforms. I personally do these summaries to rid all the fake misleading stuff people makeup without evidence, in saying that I have/will speculate what might of happened but please do not treat it as gospel unless it is something that is completely confirmed.
Recently got this FOIA about a month ago from CPD and have been sitting on it for awhile now, thought i'd run through it and make a post about it as I think its relevancy is quite important to the whole LonCity area. Over the years theres been quite abit of misconception on who was actually resposible for the murder of Hitz 🕊️ Its been a common trend from what I've seen/read and people have speculated that DrillCity was the set that a lot of people claimed did it but that is infact false.
Originally Hitz was from a set within the LonCity area known as "Langley079/8" which was located in the Chatham neighbourhood on Langley from 78th to 81st essentially in the middle of another hood that they were locked in with which was EvansMobb. Over the years alot of people have grouped the two as one because they were/are heavily affliated with each other along with 8treMobb but after Hitz death they would adopt the name "HitzSquad" for that specific area.

The OICR originally states that on the 09/29/2010 Hitz was standing on a sidewalk on the 600 block of E 79th Street when two offenders (Offender #1 was on a bicycle and Offender #2 was on foot) approached Hitz and from witnesses statements Offender #1 pulled out a firearm and shot Hitz once in the head and neck then would try to escape but collapsed two stores down. Hitz was transported to Stroger hospital in critical condition but would inevitably succomb to his injuries. Witnesses state that the offenders after shooting Hitz would flee the scene heading westbound cutting through the carpark of the 600 block and then northbound on St Lawrence this all going down in the middle of Evansmobb hood, Offender #2 was also carrying a firearm but never used it.

One of two witneses's statements
The path both offenders took when they flee'd the scene
On the 09/30/10 a day after the murder a citizen called up and mentioned a 15-16 year old that might of been responsible. A last name is mentioned "Crawford" right after this with his full name redacted but RD's cleared this person as one of the police officers couldnt identify this person. I really don't understand this part as "P.O McCullough" isnt mentioned anywhere else in this report so I am unsure why this specific police officer was shown an array with this person and what the connection is; could of potentially seen the footage collected at the stores and tried to identify him. Maybe this person was someone that matched the description/age of the offenders plus what the citizen reported and was maybe on CPD's radar at the time? who knows.
Lil Skud (MTV🅱️) who was killed in 2009 had the last name "Crawford" so could most likely be some sort of sibling/relative as WhizCity/Braindead and MTV shared many members and also alot of them repped the "7982" movement.
Within 4 months CPD would already have an idea on who was responsible for the murder, CPD at this point already knew that the murder was gang related most likely retaliation. Conducting a line up two witnesses were able to identify offender #1 and the victims mother/sister recieved a photo on facebook with a phone call stating who might of been responsible for her sons death. There are two family members mentioned in this FOIA and the info is scrambled so its hard to determine who it is but one of them recieved this infomation.

Now heres the part where the FOIA completely opens up and tells us a lot of infomation, The RD's responsible for the case requested the help of the gang intelligence unit and were able to indentify the person in the photo recieved by the family member of Hitz which ended up being Chron "Murda" Holis from WhizCity. After this confrimation RD's requested a line up which included Murda for the two men that witnessed the murder on the 09/29/10 which they were able to postively indentify offender #1 as Murda. RD's put an active investigation alert for his arrest as he was now wanted for the murder and needed to be brought in for questioning.
Murda's original statement to RD's

I couldnt tell you if he was lying or if they actually got consent but police officers smelling the hands of a 15 y/o boy is crazy (obviously to smell gunpowder) But after this intial interview he was then re-interviewed several times after and still maintained he wasn't involved but mentioned he was with someone whos name is redacted but inevitably you find out who they are due to them losing their life on the 5/13/13 which is Brandon "Lil B/Bski' Byars🕊️
On the 3/11/11 RD's contacted the victims mother/sister and tried to get her to make contact with Lil B, she maintained that she didnt know how to contact him and RD's provided her with his facebook to see if she could convince him to speak with them. When he was interviewed two weeks later hemaintained a story that corroborated with Chron's except he mentioned that there was a third person with them at a point in time.
Bski stating he was with Chron and someone else.
Persons redacted info that was allegedly with Chron
Even though inevtiably you figure out that this specific interview was Lil B through the section where the 3rd person is interviewed I confirmed that the details were right through this Bday post and wasnt an error by CPD.
Fast forward to 2013 RD's are finally able to identify the person Lil B mentioned as he refused to give names by this time Lil B would be shot and killed in a Harolds allegedly by 8treMobb. I cant confirm this completely due to his case still being an open case and not being able to see any reports but whilst I was trying to find info about this FOIA I found numerous tweets of them claiming it back in 2013. The person interviewed completely denied everything and even went on to state he didnt know who these two were and the interview was terminated. It took me a minute to figure out who this person might be and I've sifted it down to two people that were both very close with Bski and still rep him heavily to this day. The two share the same birthday and by via CPD accidentally failing to redact the persons birthdate I was able to make an assumption it might of been one of them. Jdog was born in 1993, Chino I am unsure but his little brother is 29 so you can assume he could of possibly been born in 1993.
Couple of years go by and in 2015 someone that was locked up at the time said that they had infomation on the murder. This person infact was locked up at the time for whatever reason, they basically gave a whole statement on seeing Chron on 78th in the day fast forward to the night they witnessed Chron murder the victim and even tried to get to Hitz but police stopped him once they arrived. He also mentioned to RD's that he was afraid to testify in court, this makes me believe he is a member/affliated from that side. He was given a photo array form and positively identified Chron Hollis as the person who murdered Hitz.
With this infomation and the previous statements made by the civilians CPD had enough evidence to formally charge Chron with the murder in 2015. I am unaware how it played out after this because the FOIA ends but from what I have seen Chron beat the body? I could be wrong. Maybe the witness fluked on testifying and the other witnesses from 2010 werent around anymore? Im unsure but I do know Chron is free.
Rest in peace to all the lives lost and condoloences to the families 🕊️
PEACE 💪
