Update 8:20 p.m. — The Chicago Tribune tonight reported Sylvester suffered “as many as 64 bullet wounds.”
Gunmen shot and killed a Chicago rapper Saturday evening as he walked out of Cook County Jail where he had been held for over a year on gun charges, according to multiple sources. The woman who bonded him out and an activist who works outside the jail to assist newly-released detainees were also shot, the sources said.
Londre Sylvester, a 31-year-old who performed as KTS Dre, was pronounced dead at Mt. Sinai Hospital shortly after the 8:50 p.m. shooting near the intersection of California and 27th streets. “KTS” stands for “Kill To Survive,” a phrase he also had tattooed on his neck along with a target symbol.
Public records show Sylvester was arrested April 27, 2020, on charges of being a felon in possession of a weapon and resisting police. A judge ordered him held in lieu of $50,000 bail the next day. During the same hearing, Sylvester was also held without bail on a parole violation, records show. The charges were later upgraded to Class X armed habitual criminal.
He remained in sheriff’s custody for over 400 days as of Thursday, according to online sheriff’s office records. However, a sheriff’s office spokesperson declined to comment about the specifics of Sylvester’s release.
On Saturday evening, a 60-year-old woman posted the $5,000 deposit bond necessary for Sylvester to go home on electronic monitoring, according to a source.
As Sylvester and the woman walked from the jail, at least two gunmen emerged from different vehicles and opened fire. Sylvester was shot in the face and chest. The woman was shot in her knee. Another bullet grazed the face of a 35-year-old woman who works under a tent outside the jail to provide social services for people upon their release, the source said.
Both women were in good condition, police said.
And now we will never have that longer-lasting light bulb.

I was not expecting him to have enough life signs for EMTs to transport him to the ER after the shooting.

Perhaps the ruling of Dead must be rendered by a physician?

220-9erGiven the usual miss to hit ratio, they must have used a thousand rounds or so.

Only if she bring him to court for his hearing.

I'm guessing she was in on it. Somebody knew she was going to bail him out, and they were waiting for him to exit the building. Either that, or the shooters sat out there in their cars for 400+ days waiting for him to come out.

My first thoughts after reading the article/seeing the photo: Who got to score the target? How many in the ten ring? In retrospect, maybe it would have been better to just get that tattoo on his knee.
I guess we can rest easy knowing that the shooters will quickly be identified and arrested based on their FOID card photo match.

EdmondDamn. Wonder how much all that ammo cost. Probably would've been cheaper to keep him in jail.
His life was obviously worthless, though.
