T Roy was a respected O’Block member who was also King Von’s right-hand man.
He might have been only 5’1
but he was a top shooter who was feared throughout the city.
Let’s take a look at the life and criminal history of T-Roy.
T Roy was born and raised in Parkway Gardens,
better known as O’Block which is one of the most dangerous areas in the city
and ran by the Black Disciples.
T-Roy also had four brothers, Slutty, HK, Zelle, and Eli, and also a sister named Ashia.
T. Roy was popular in his hood and known for being a fighter.
Even though he was smaller than most of the other dudes in O’Block,
he had a lot of heart and earned his respect by never backing down from anyone.
But T-Roy aint really start going hard in the streets until Odee Perry died in 2011.
Odee was a high-ranking member from Wiic City, which was later named O’Block.
He got chipped in August 2011 while riding his bike on the 400 block of East 64th Street.
He was so respected in his hood that after his death,
Wiic City changed their name to O’Block to honor his memory.
Ever since, Parkway Gardens has been called O’Block,
which you can hear referenced in songs by King Von and Chief Keef.
No one was ever arrested for the killing Odee Perry.
But streets say that it was a female shooter from the STL/EBT set
of the Gangster Disciples named K.I.
- K.I. was close to another GD named Tooka, who was murdered a few months earlier.
Tooka became famous after he died for being the most disrespected name in rap history,
after Chicago drill music went viral.
So many think Odee’s death
was payback for the murder and constant dissing of Tooka.
Odee’s death had a major impact on both T.Roy and King Von,
who were two of Odee’s closest friends.
After he died, they started planning their revenge.
At that time Von was already a well respected shooter.
So he taught T.Roy how to do drills and turned him into a savage.
On April 28th, 2012, a man named Marlon Monroe was found dead in an abandoned lot
in the Woodlawn neighborhood.
His family said that since the area was overgrown with weeds,
his body was left there for hours before being found.
He was painting his auntie house nearby but got thirsty and walked to the store.
While he was walking down the block,
a shooter popped out and started letting off shots, killing Monroe.
A 16-year-old relative found his body hours later
on the 6300 Block of South St. Lawrence Avenue.
Monroe had just gotten out of prison after doing a bid for stealing cars.
His fam says he had gotten his GED while locked up
and was working toward getting his painter’s license.
Monroe was also known as Doc or Baby Doc and was from STL/EBT.
Supposedly, T.Roy was the shooter and took out Doc as revenge for the death of Odee.
But T. Roy aint stop there and kept knocking off his opps one by one.
T.Roy caught his next body in November 2012,
by taking out a top ranking member of STL/EBT named Boss Trell.
Boss Trell was a GD member who was known to be a shooter.
He’s rumored behind the murder of a respected O’Block member
named Sheroid Liggins, who was killed earlier that year.
But he started getting tired of the gang lifestyle and wanted a change.
Another STL/EBT member moved to Iowa to get away from the streets
and Boss Trell was planning on doing the same.
He already purchased a bus ticket and was supposed to leave on the day he was killed.
But he pushed his trip back a day to try and patch things up with his ex-girlfriend.
This became a fatal mistake.
He went to an alley expecting to meet his girl but instead found T. Roy waiting for him.
Around 6:50 a.m. police found Boss Trell dead with a gunshot wound to the head.
He was taken to the hospital in critical condition but later pronounced dead.
Boss Trell’s death was a major loss to STL/EBT
and this quickly made T-Roy one of their most hated opps
and one of the most respected members of O’Block.
But T. Roy was on a killing spree and kept going after STL/EBT
and any other opps he could get his hands on.
His next victim was a dude named Stunna
from the SuWu TBB set of the Black P. Stones.
On June 9th, 2013,
Stunna was driving down the Expressway near 71st Street and Grand Crossing.
Around 1 am, another car pulled up on him and started to dumping shots.
Stunna and a woman who was sitting in the front seat were both shot and rushed to the hospital.
The woman and a third person in the car survived, but Stunna died.
Rumors say, it was T. Roy and Boss Money
who were in the whip that fired the shots and killed Stunna.
But a few months later, T.Roy lost another close homie in this deadly beef.
In September 2013, O’Block’s J. Money got killed after getting set up by a female.
According to rumors, a girl convinced J Money to come Jaro City’s hood,
a set that is allied with STL/EBT.
When he got there, he saw the opps waiting for him and immediately knew it was a setup.
But he ain’t get away fast enough and got shot in the head and body multiple times.
J Money been dissed in several songs by members of STL/EBT,
including FBG Wooski in the song Computers.
So, many believe they were somehow involved.
J Money’s death made T.Roy and other members of O’Block
thirsty for revenge and it aint take long before they got they getback.
On April 11th, 2014, Gakirah Barnes, aka K.I.
was murdered down while walking to a friend’s house.
K.I. was the female assassin supposedly behind killing Odee Perry
and was one of O’Block’s biggest opps.
She was active on social media, dissing J Money after he got murdered.
On the day she got killed, she revealed her location on Twitter,
which was a bad move in Chiraq.
While she was walking down the 6400 block of South Eberhart Ave
with her homie FBG Butta,
a hooded gunman popped out and started letting off shots,
hitting K.I. nine times in the jaw, neck, and chest.
She was rushed to the hospital but died later that day.
It’s rumored that King Von was the shooter behind K.I.’s death.
The Chicago police department later released records
that Von was the main suspect in the investigation, but the D.A. aint pursue the case cuz of lack of evidence.
It’s also rumored that T.Roy was with Von that day and helped lay her down.
But other sources say that he was locked up on the day of K.I.’s murder.
Either way, K.I.’s death was a huge loss for STL/EBT,
and it only heated up the war between the two sets.
After evening the score for Odee and J.Money,
T. Roy slowed down in the streets due to legal problems.
In April 2014, he got pulled over for not stopping at a stop sign.
When police searched him, they found an unlicensed gun
and also realized he had a warrant out for his arrest.
For that, he ended up getting locked up.
This was around the same time that his right-hand man, King Von
got locked up for killing Malcolm Stucky.
So, T. Roy started doing whatever he could to get his boy out of jail,
including flipping drugs and hitting licks.
But, He got locked up again in November 2016 for criminal trespassing
and did some more time in Cook County Jail.
Then on February 15th, 2017,
T. Roy was shot and killed after getting cornered in a shoe store.
On the day he got killed, T.Roy was out lurking for a rapper named TB,
who was from Tyquan World, a GD set.
TB was known for dissing O’Block in his music and T. Roy was tired of the disrespect.
So he went into opp territory solo to find TB.
While he was out, he was spotted by FBG Brick,
the older brother of FBG Duck.
STL/EBT and TW is cool with each other,
so Brick called TB and gave him the drop on T.Roy's location.
T.Roy ended up going into a shoe store on 71st Street.
But, As he was leaving, he was stopped by TB, who had a gun.
Supposedly, before getting shot, T.Roy just smiled and said “you got me”.
He tried to pull his gun, but wasn’t fast enough and got shot in the chest.
T. Roy was a beloved O’Block member who has been shouted out in a lot of songs.
After he died, OBlock members mourned his passing on Twitter,
including Chief Keef, Lil Reese and Durk.
His boy King Von later hopped on live
and told the story about the day he found out that T. Roy died.
T. Roy’s brother HK was also a member of O’Block
and went after Tyquan World to get payback for his brother’s death.
After T.Roy died, HK formed the infamous getbackgang
and promised to serve revenge to everyone involved.
Before T. Roy got killed, HK wasn’t really a shooter.
But this pushed him off the edge and turned him into a savage.
First, he went after a dude named Poppie who was from Tyquan World.
Poppie had allegedly killed another Oblock member, so he was HK’s first target.
Then, he went after FBG Brick,
the dude that gave TB the drop on his brother.
Allegedly, he and a bunch of other BDs caught Brick and his cousin Coby Mac lackin
and chased them into an alley and killed them both.
HK’s final body was TB, the dude who killed his brother T.Roy.
TB was with a member of Jaro City,
who set him up and drove him to a spot where HK was waiting.
Just like T.Roy, when TB realized what was going down,
he accepted his fate and said “you finally got me.”
So, one by one, HK got revenge on the people tied to his brother’s death.
But karma came back around and HK got killed a few weeks later.
On November 24th, 2017,
HK was caught by a group of opps by the entrance to Parkway Gardens.
He got shot in both the legs and stomach and died later that day.
It’s ain’t clear who killed HK,
but it was supposedly a collab between STL, Jaro City, and Tyquan World.
Sadly, HK aint the only one of T.Roy’s brothers to die at an early age.
In 2020, his brother Slutty got killed in Atlanta with King Von.
The following year, Zell took his own life
and was later foud to be involved in murder of FBG Duck.
T.Roy was a beloved member of O’Block
and his memory will live on in the music of the Chicago drill legends he grew up with.
But he was a product of his environment and became a victim to the cycle of violence
that constantly taking lives in Chicago.
RIP to everyone mentioned in this video who lost their life.
