Chicago drill rapper Lil Zay Osama among six charged by feds in Winnetka home invasion - Chicago Sun-Times

The intruders allegedly held a person captive for about an hour and demanded access to a safe, computer and online cryptocurrency accounts.

[month] [day], [year], [hour]:[minute][ampm] [timezone]

Chicago drill rapper Lil Zay Osama is among six men facing robbery and kidnapping charges in a federal indictment for their role in a Winnetka home invasion last month in which the intruders allegedly demanded access to a safe, computer and online cryptocurrency accounts.

U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros’ office announced the charges Tuesday. A seventh man was arrested Tuesday morning with charges pending, the feds said.

The charges follow an investigation that involved the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Winnetka police.

Prosecutors initially filed charges against three of the men March 23, court records show. A superseding indictment on April 16 added three additional defendants. Osama, 28, who now lives in Los Angeles, was among those charged April 16. His real name is Isaiah Dukes.

The rapper’s defense attorney, Michael Clancy, said Osama “is hoping to get to trial as soon as possible.”

“My client was not present at the robbery and he did not set up this robbery,” Clancy said.

Three Chicago men were also charged. They are Dashun Brown, 24, David Franklin, 24, and Anthony Ramsey, 22. Also facing charges are Khiell Dukes, 30, of Elgin; and Jalen Chambers, 24, of Bourbonnais.

Documents detailing the allegations against the men remained under seal through Tuesday afternoon. Boutros’ office said the information was sealed while investigators collected evidence to identify additional defendants. The superseding indictment was unsealed Tuesday evening.

Each defendant has pleaded not guilty. U.S. District Judge Iain Johnston held a hearing Tuesday regarding Osama in Rockford. He and the other five defendants have all been ordered detained.

The home invasion occurred on March 8. Brown, Ramsey and Franklin were taken into federal custody March 22, prosecutors said. Osama, Dukes and Chambers were taken into custody April 10.

Prosecutors say Brown posed as a food delivery driver, prompting someone inside the Winnetka home to open the front door. That’s when Brown, Franklin and Chambers allegedly forced their way inside, armed with loaded firearms.

The feds say two unidentified co-conspirators joined them.

The intruders allegedly held the victim captive for about an hour and “used firearms to physically restrain the victim,” prosecutors said. They also allegedly demanded access to the safe, computer and the online accounts.

Eventually, the intruders fled the residence, according to prosecutors. The feds say they then met up with Osama, Dukes, Ramsey and others — who conducted a search to make sure all of the robbery proceeds were collected.

Osama made headlines last December for helping provide Christmas gifts to children who’d been attacked, along with their mother, in South Deering one month earlier.

The rapper blamed the attack on kids having too much time on their hands and said “we need positive distractions from the streets.”

But Osama’s also been in trouble with the feds before. A federal judge in Brooklyn sentenced him in 2024 to 14 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to possession of a machine gun. He left the pistol — affixed with a switch that turned it into an automatic weapon — in the back of a rideshare vehicle that took him from a luxury Manhattan hotel to a recording studio in Queens, prosecutors said.

Eastern District of New York | Rapper Known as "Lil Zay Osama" Sentenced to 14 Months in Prison for Possessing an Illegal Machinegun | United States Department of Justice

Earlier today, at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, Isaiah Dukes, also known as “Lil Zay Osama,” was sentenced by United States District Judge Nina R. Morrison to 14 months in prison and a $10,000 fine. Dukes was indicted in January 2024 for possession of a machinegun, and pleaded guilty in May 2024.

Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Bryan Miller, Special Agent in Charge, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, New York Field Office (ATF), and Thomas G. Donlon, Interim Commissioner, New York City Police Department (NYPD) announced the sentence.

“The defendant knowingly carried a fully automatic weapon, a pistol with a switch device whose only purpose is to make a dangerous weapon all the more deadly – and then carelessly left that gun in the back of a rideshare,” stated United States Attorney Peace. “Today’s sentence serves as a warning that those who possess illegal guns, particularly with switches that convert those guns into machineguns, will be held accountable for their actions and for the danger they pose to our community.”

“This sentencing highlights a crucial point: possessing a machine gun conversion device is illegal under federal law. Machine gun conversion devices exponentially increase the lethality of firearms and put our communities in serious danger. Every device removed from our streets represents lives saved and tragedies prevented. The ATF's primary goal is safeguarding the public from violent crimes, and the removal of these devices significantly contributes to achieving this mission. We are grateful to the ATF NY Joint Firearms Task Force, NYPD, and EDNY for their dedicated efforts in this endeavor. ATF proudly collaborates with our law enforcement partners to eliminate these dangerous devices from our streets and ensure public safety,” stated ATF Special Agent in Charge Bryan Miller.

“Today’s sentence serves as a reminder to anyone who may bring an illegal firearm, especially one that has been modified to increase its lethality, into New York City: There are serious consequences for your reckless actions,” stated NYPD Interim Commissioner Donlon. “The NYPD and our law enforcement partners are fully committed to holding criminals accountable and ensuring the safety of our streets and communities for all New Yorkers.”

As set forth in the government’s sentencing memorandum and other court documents, on September 29, 2022, Dukes carried a loaded Glock pistol affixed with a switch — a device that when attached to the back of a handgun like a Glock converts the firearm into a fully automatic weapon. Dukes was arrested after leaving the firearm in a rideshare vehicle that brought him from a luxury hotel in Manhattan to a recording studio in Queens. Law enforcement subsequently determined that the firearm could automatically fire more than one round with a single function of the trigger, rendering it a machinegun.

Assistant United States Attorneys Gilbert M. Rein and Rebecca M. Schuman are in charge of the prosecution, with assistance from Paralegal Specialist Rachel Friedman.
