As you may already know,
there is currently a war going on in Jacksonville Florida
between rappers Yungeen Ace and Julio Foolio.
This violent beef has led to shootouts, murders, and some of the catchiest,
yet most disrespectful songs of all time.
In this video we will talk about a rapper named Ksoo
who is Ace’s right-hand man and alleged shooter.
Stick around, because this is a wild story…
Ksoo is a rapper from Jacksonville, Florida who is affiliated with Yungeen Ace’s ATK gang.
The rapper is allegedly the main shooter behind some of the wildest crimes
that have fueled this beef.
He is currently awaiting trial for two murders of KTA affiliates,
including one shooting he allegedly committed with the help of his own father.
Before getting locked up,
Ksoo was a respected savage in the streets of Jacksonville
and known for being a rapper who frequently dissed his opps.
One of his main targets was a 16-year-old victim named Bibby,
who happened to be the younger brother of Foolio, a member of a rival gang “ATK”.
Ksoo’s constant dissing of Bibby helped fuel the beef between KTA and ATK,
although the tension goes even deeper than that.
Ksoo would eventually become a prime suspect in Bibb’s murder investigation,
but was arrested for the broad daylight killing of another KTA affiliated rapper
named Lil Buck.
Lil Buck’s murder was allegedly retaliation for a song that the rapper made,
dissing Ksoo’s brother Boss Goon.
Willie Addison, who rapped under the name Boss Goon,
had just been released from prison in 2018 after doing 7 years for burglary.
A few months after being released
he performed at the Paradise Gentlemen's Club in Jacksonville.
After leaving the club, he got into a car with his father, brother, and three other relatives,
which was hit up in a drive-by shooting.
Everyone in the car was injured, but Boss Goon was the only one who was killed.
Although the rapper had a criminal past,
his family members told the media that he had changed his life after getting out of prison
and was now focused on music.
So, the shooting is believed to be part of the ongoing war between KTA and ATK
and the shooters wanted to get at Ksoo by targeting his family members.
Although Ksoo had always been a savage,
his brother’s murder would turn him coldhearted
and lead him to seek revenge on anyone involved.
He ended up finding a target for his anger, rival rapper Charles McCormick, aka Lil Buck.
Lil Buck was a rapper affiliated with Julio’s KTA gang.
The rapper released a diss track aimed at Boss Goon, and not long after he was killed.
This lead Ksoo to assume that Lil Buck had something to do with his brother’s murder.
So, Ksoo began to plot his revenge and seeked the help of his own father,
as well as two other friends, to carry out the hit.
The crew caught Lil Buck lacking outside an Arlington shopping plaza
and shot him several times.
Witnesses say they saw two men who fired off at least 6 shots
and then got into a car and sped off.
Police were quick to arrive on the scene
and saw one of the shooters standing over Lil Buck.
They got into a high-speed chase with the getaway vehicle,
which ended up crashing in a residential neighborhood.
Ksoo and his two accomplices then got out of the car and escaped on foot.
They decided to split up to make it harder for the cops.
Ksoo went in one direction with the cop tailing him.
The other two men ended up hiding in a nearby home,
taking the woman who lived there hostage.
They stole some of her husband's clothes
and made a call to have someone come pick them up.
The woman who was held hostage
would later become a key witness in helping the police identify
the two men who broke into her home.
Their names were Dominique Barner and Leroy Whittaker
who were allegedly known associates of Ksoo.
The woman was able to identify one of the men based on his tattoos
and pointed him out in a police lineup.
Barner was arrested for the home invasion
and would later admit to a confidential informant that Ksoo was the one who killed Lil Buck.
Barner was not aware that the man was wearing a wire and bragged about the murder,
admitting on tape that he was the driver and Ksoo was the shooter.
Based on the information he provided,
police were also able to recover the murder weapon,
as well as an additional handgun and a white T-shirt,
that contained DNA belonging to Ksoo.
The police were then able to use this as evidence linking ksoo to the scene,
proving he was involved in the murder.
If that wasn’t enough evidence,
the police also looked at Ksoo’s own social media
to see if they could find any evidence linking him to the crime
and they ended up finding tons of crazy stuff.
They not only found photos of Ksoo posing with guns,
but they also found a video of a kid singing the song Ksoo Homicide
by Yungeen Ace right after Lil Buck was killed
and a video of Lil Buck rapping with the caption “Bye Bye”.
But probably the most damaging piece of content they found on his page
was a video of Ksoo at the nail salon with the caption
“Kill a n**** then go get my toes done”.
That was more than enough evidence for the cops to make an arrest.
But to make things even worse for Ksoo,
when Dominique Barner was interviewed about his involvement in the murder,
he confirmed everything he said on the wire
and admitted that Ksoo was the one who took out Lil Buck.
He even went as far as snitching on Ksoo’s father,
revealing that he was the one who picked them up after they ditched the getaway car
and hid in that random woman's home.
That interview was enough for police to find Ksoo and arrest him immediately for murder,
while his father was also arrested for accessory to murder after the fact.
Hakeem Robinson and his father 49-year-old Abdul Robinson
are both in the Duval County jail.
Hakeem Robinson is charged with second degree murder
and Abdul is charged with accessory after the fact.
It seemed like Ksoo couldn’t catch a break and if his homie snitching wasn’t bad enough,
there was even video footage from the scene that showed everything go down.
Dashcam footage from a nearby vehicle captured the shooting
and surveillance footage from a home in the area showed Whitaker and Barner
running through the neighborhood, jumping fences as they tried to get away.
Ksoo and his three accomplices are currently fighting this case
and face life in prison if convicted.
Even though Ksoo seemed like he might get away, it was a pretty sloppy hit
that left plenty of evidence for police to track.
Plus, all the bragging on social media probably didn’t help
and he’ll have a hard time explaining why he was so happy about Lil Buck’s murder
if he had nothing to do with it.
But if things weren’t looking bad enough for Ksoo, while behind bars,
he would also be charged with the 2019 murder of Adrian Gainer aka Bibby Osama,
Julio Foolio’s younger brother.
Lil Buck’s murder wasn’t the first time that Ksoo was featured on the Jacksonville News.
The rapper was the subject of a controversy the year before,
after he used pictures of real murder victims
in the album art for a project he released called Bibby Out.
Controversial rap album covers making its way around social media,
the covers show men who have been murdered in Jacksonville.
Local rapper Ksoo posted the picture to instagram.
Bibby, who is one of the victims shown in the artwork,
was a 16-year-old who was tragically gunned down outside the apartment complex
where he lived back in February of 2019.
Bibby was Foolio's younger brother
and his death has been used by both Ksoo and Youngeen Ace
as a way to taunt their opp.
Bibby’s name became famous after he was included in the vira song:
“ Who I Smoke”, where Yungeen Ace
calls out the names of dead KTA members after a chorus of Who I Smoke.
Ksoo has also rapped about Bibby on tracks like Ksoo B****,
with bars that are just as disrespectful.
Plus, Ksoo has also been known to make fun of Bibby on social media,
taking it as far as mocking his mother for going after her son’s killer.
Aye they got his mom walking around
March!
We're gonna get him, march!
So, it wasn’t much of a shock when it was revealed that Ksoo was the suspected killer,
although the details of the case are pretty surprising.
Bibby was shot and killed outside the Hilltop Village apartments
on West 45th Street in Jacksonville.
He was sitting in a gazebo on the grounds of the apartment complex,
looking at something on his phone with a friend who was sitting nearby.
While they were both looking down,
the killer walked up and started shooting at them with an AR- style rifle.
Bibby and his friend split up and ran in different directions.
The friend was able to escape, but Bibby was hunted by the killer
and shot several times until he was dead.
Even though Ksoo was a suspect
because of his frequent disses of Bibby in music and on social media,
the police didn’t have much solid evidence to charge him for the murder.
But the case was broken wide open
after a confidential witness told police that he was in the car with Ksoo
on the day Bibby was killed.
The witness told police that Ksoo called him on the day of the murder
and they went to scope out a few drug spots.
Along with them was Leroy Whitaker, one of the accomplices from the Lil Buck murder,
as well as another man who went by the name Ralo.
After taking care of business, they drove by the Hilltop apartments,
where they spotted Bibby and his friend.
They then drove into the parking lot of the complex and waited about 20 minutes.
Then, Ksoo and Leroy both got out of the car with weapons,
while Ralo drove the witness to another parking lot close to the gazebo.
The witness claimed that Ksoo went after Bibby,
while Leroy chased after the friend.
Bibby ended up falling to the ground only about 5 to 10 yards from the car.
Ksoo then allegedly shot him in the back of the head
while he was shielding himself with his hands.
Although the identity of the witness in this case has been kept confidential,
there has been speculation that it may be one of the accomplices from the Lil Buck murder.
Barner had already spilled the beans to a confidential informant,
then eventually confirmed to police that everything he said was true.
So, if he’s already going down as a snitch,
it makes sense that he would go all the way and tell the police everything that he knows
to get a lighter sentence.
He’s currently being held at the Duval County Jail,
one of the toughest prisons in Florida.
Since he’s potentially looking at doing life in prison for the murder of Lil Buck,
he'd probably rather take his chances on the streets over spending the rest of his life in prison,
especially after snitching.
In addition to the Lil Buck homicide,
Barner is also facing charges for a separate murder of an innocent bystander
who was killed in a shootout between two vehicles.
50-year-old Damon Rothermel was riding his bike down Emerson Street in Jacksonville,
when two vehicles entered the area, with passengers inside firing at each other.
Damon tried to dive off his bike to avoid getting hit
but was tragically caught in the crossfire and ended up losing his life.
Police believe that Dominique Barner was involved in the shootout
and is being charged with an additional count of second-degree murder because of this.
So, things aren’t looking good for Barner
and it seems like he’s willing to do anything to protect himself.
Whoever it was that spoke to police, was someone close to Ksoo.
It had to be someone he was comfortable catching a body in front of
then going about his daily life as if nothing happened.
So, either Barner was the informant in both cases,
or Ksoo has a serious problem with who he lets in his inner circle.
Ksoo was originally held on a $1 million bail,
but that was raised to $3 million after he got hit with the additional murder charge.
Although things are looking pretty questionable for the rapper,
police are relying on witness testimonies to tie him to the Bibby murder.
With a good team of lawyers,
they may be able to poke holes in the witness's credibility.
If Barner is the witness,
Ksoo’s lawyers could argue that he’s just trying to give the police anything he can
to avoid jail time and therefore
his story could be biased or even made up.
But all the dissing and self snitching that Ksoo did online
and in his music isn’t going to help his case.
He might have a hard time explaining why he took credit for Bibby’s murder
over and over again if he had nothing to do with it.
But the Lil Buck murder may be harder to beat because police have DNA evidence,
surveillance footage, and a clear motive for the killing.
So, it’s likely that they are just trying to stack as many charges against him as they can,
so he has little chance of getting out any time soon.
The war between ATK and KTA has set off a crazy wave of violence in Jacksonville
and Ksoo is a major part of that beef.
The popularity and national attention that the music has received
has only led to more and more extreme acts of violence
and diss tracks are no longer just being played in the streets of Jacksonville,
they’re being broadcast to fans across the country.
So, the police are looking to take down anyone associated with the beef
and Ksoo was one of the biggest names involved, both in terms of the music,
as well as his reputation as a shooter.
Ksoo has yet to go to trial for either charge,
so more updates will likely come as the case continues.
Yungeeen Ace and the rest of KTA will have to go on without their top shooter.
But if the Who I Smoke song is any indication,
the group won’t be backing down from the beef anytime soon.
