U.S District Judge Martha Pacold set Oct. 2, 2023 as the date for the men charged in the August 2020 fatal shooting of FBG Duck.

The five defendants in the case, Kenneth Roberson, Charles Liggins, Tacarlos Offerd, Christopher Thomas and Marcus Smith are each charged with murder in aid of racketeering, assaults in aid of racketeering and firearms violations.
The shooting is a result of gang rivalry, prosecutors said.
