Chicago rapper Glizzy the Tweaker wanted to celebrate his 19th birthday in style. Before diving into his birthday cake, he learned first-hand how much a sucking chest wound sucks. America now mourns the loss of yet another Windy City rap artist. Most violent crime in Chicago goes unsolved thanks to the Windy City’s over-burdened and under-funded police department. But not Glizzy’s latest robbery gig.
Thanks to a dose of freedom pills, Glizzy — real name: Mekhi Moore — remained at the scene of the crime. A construction worker working on a South Side renovation project took offense at four thugs who threatened to kill him during an attempted robbery. He shot Glizzy repeatedly, leaving the rap star dead right there.
Moore’s three accomplices buddies, rather than sticking around to administer first aid to their wounded comrade, ran like scalded rats. News reports suggest a second thug received some ballistic therapy as well, but his condition remains unknown.
Thankfully, the CPD and the Cook County State’s Attorney recognized an obvious case of armed self-defense and released the victim without charges, but also without his gun. No doubt our good guy will have procured another before returning to the job site.
The Express Tribune has the story:
Chicago drill rapper Mekhi Moore, known professionally as Glizzy The Tweaker, was killed on September 26, 2025, during what police say was a botched robbery attempt in the city’s Chatham neighborhood. He was 19 years old.
According to VIA-X, the incident occurred around 5:03 p.m. near 89th Street and Michigan Avenue. Officers responding to reports of gunfire found Moore with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Authorities said Moore, along with at least three others, allegedly attempted to rob a construction worker at a renovation site. The worker, who was legally licensed to carry a concealed firearm, reportedly fired four shots in self-defense, striking Moore. The other suspects fled the scene in a vehicle. A second individual was also shot, but their condition has not yet been confirmed.
Police recovered two firearms at the scene. The construction worker was questioned but released without charges, as Illinois’ Concealed Carry Act permits the use of force in situations where there is an immediate threat.
If the late Glizzy had only spent more time in school and church instead of toting illegal guns and sticking up people for fun and profit, he might still be with us. But alas, he’s gone, lost forever to music lovers everywhere. It’s a loss Chicagoans will just have to learn to live with.

Good illustration of why your defensive carry gun needs to be relatively inexpensive. Like a Kahr CW9, an inexpensive, reliable, small pistol. It would suck to carry a Kimber and lose it if you had to protect yourself.
Now where do you suppose the shooter’s gun ended up? Probably in the hands of another scumbag like Glizzy…
