CHICAGO — The Dinizulu Law Group announces that a mutually agreed settlement has been reached with Defendant Dolce & Gabbana in the civil lawsuit stemming from the August 4, 2020 shooting that claimed the life of Carlton Weekly, professionally known as FBG Duck. The same shooting also injured two innocent bystanders in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood.

“We commend Dolce & Gabbana for its professionalism and willingness to engage in meaningful dialogue,” said Roosevelt Allen, attorney for the plaintiffs. “Throughout this process, their team demonstrated a sincere commitment to resolving this matter in a way that acknowledges the seriousness of what occurred and respects the losses suffered by our clients.”

While the settlement does not constitute an admission of liability by Dolce & Gabbana, the
plaintiffs recognize the company’s constructive role in reaching this resolution.

Litigation remains ongoing against the remaining defendants, including UMG Recordings, Inc., Sony Music Entertainment, Alamo Records, Empire Distribution Inc., rapper Durk Banks (professionally known as Lil Durk), Only the Family Entertainment, Inc., the Estate of Dayvon Bennett (professionally known as King Von), and the City of Chicago.
