Killed was Ray Washington, an alleged leader in the Four Corner Hustler gang, police said. The inspector with Washington also was shot, but he was expected to live.alleged high-ranking Chicago gang member with addresses on the North Shore and in a far southwest suburb was gunned down Thursday afternoon while standing outside a West Side residence with a housing inspector, authorities said.
Washington and the inspector -- who works for a company contracting with the Chicago Housing Authority -- were shot at 1:30 p.m. Thursday while standing in the 3800 block of West Flournoy. Police think Washington was in the neighborhood because of property he is involved in there and was possibly shot over gang issues, Gang Enforcement Section Cmdr. Leo Schmitz said.Although investigators initially believed the property was being appraised, CHA officials said the inspector was there to do a Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) inspection on a unit.Police arrested three suspects after a short chase and also seized two weapons within minutes of the shooting.According to records and law enforcement sources, Washington, 38, has several addresses in the Chicago area. His address was listed in the 1900 block of Browning Court in Highland Park, although it is unclear whether that was his current home.
That home was described as expansive, as was another home he apparently had in south suburban Frankfort.Washington, a convicted felon, has an arrest record that includes narcotics and weapons violations, according to records. His name also surfaced in major mortgage fraud investigations involving upper-level gang members, a source said.Harrison District tactical officers heard the shots and saw the gunmen getting into a car. Other officers, including gang enforcement teams, joined the chase and walked the neighborhood to find the guns. The suspects were arrested a short distance away after running from the car.“They did a murder in plain view in the middle of day,” Schmitz

That really goes to show you that joining any gang at the end of the day is simply not worth your life and ultimatly your soul, I use to be a 4 corner hustler back when it was safe to be one because we would only just fight other gangs like U/T, Insane or anyone who disrespected 4ch, I can remember meeting the Fouder Of 4ch Walter Wheat on Madison where you could fine all of the OG's hanging WW was a very humble leader and thats that but I never met Monroe Banks, Angleo who was from the Henery Hornet area, Ray-Ray, Shakey-Shawn or any other 4ch leader, but I would like to end by saying what profit a man to gain the whole world and then lose not only his life but most importantly his soul meaning to lift your eyes up in Eternal damnation or HELL!
I personally knew Ray on a small level, I did not know of his gang involvement or "other side".....He seemed like a good guy and treated me and my family respectfully! R.I.P.
