'Shorty Just Couldn't Take It No More,' Tyshawn's Accused Killer Allegedly Said

A known triggerman for the Black P-Stones looked into the face of 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee and shot him until "Shorty couldn’t take it no more,” Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez said on Tuesday.

First-degree murder charges were announced for Dwright Boone-Doty, 21, who has been identified as the “executioner” in the Auburn-Gresham fourth-grader slaying on Nov. 2, 2015.

Doty is the second man to be charged in Tyshawn’s murder. Police said the child was targeted because of his father, Pierre Stokes, a high-ranking member of the P-Stones’ rival, the Gangster Disciples.

Another man, Corey Morgan, 27, was charged in November in the weeks following the boy’s murder, while a third man, 22-year-old Kevin Edwards, remains at large. Police say all three belong to the BBG (Bang Bang Gang)/Terror Dome faction of the Black P Stones, bitter rivals of the Gangster Disciples.

Doty is also alleged to have stated his original intent was to kidnap and torture the boy by “cutting off his fingers and ears.”

On Nov. 2, 2015, Doty, along with “the same two co-defendants” were combing the neighborhood looking for Gangster Disciple rivals when they arrived at Dawes Park at 80th Street and Damen Avenue, Alvarez said.

“Eventually they saw 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee, who was in the playlot at the park,” Alvarez said. “Tyshawn had gone to the swing set, set his basketball down and was playing on the swings.”

By then, Morgan and Edwards left the park and drove away in a small SUV. Doty stayed behind in the playground, striking up a conversation with Tyshawn, according to the complaint.

He picked up the boy’s basketball and dribbled it a few times before giving it back to the boy.

“[Doty] asked Tyshawn if he wanted to go to the store,” Alvarez said. “When Tyshawn said he didn’t have any money Doty told him he would buy him whatever he wanted.”

Witnesses reported to police seeing Doty and Tyshawn walking off together out of the park and into a nearby alley. Once they reached the middle of the alley, Doty allegedly took out a gun and shot the fourth-grader multiple times at close range.

“[Doty] was facing the child when he shot him,” Alvarez said. “He later made statements, ‘Seeing that bitch going in his head, and Shorty was like he couldn’t take it no more. Shorty couldn’t take it no more.’”

An autopsy report states that Tyshawn received a graze wound to the upper back, one superficial wound to his forearm and the fatal gunshot wound to the head. There were two more perforating gunshot wounds, one of which partially amputated the boy’s thumb as he held up his hands to ward off the bullet.

Doty also later stated that after he murdered the boy he wanted to go back to the park and "shoot it up,” Alvarez said.

After the murder, the three went to a Walmart where they purchased bleach and wiped down the inside and outside of the SUV before abandoning it, the complaint said.

Alvarez said Doty was also working on a rap song about killing Tyshawn.

Doty is also charged with first-degree murder, attempted first degree murder, and aggravated battery with a firearm in connection to the shooting death of Brianna Jenkins and the wounding of her friend, DeShari Bowens in October 2015.

Those shootings are part of the same gang war.

Reading from the court complaint against Doty, Alvarez said the bitter gang feud between the Black P-Stones and Gangster Disciples came boiling to a head when Corey Morgan’s brother, Tracey Morgan, was shot to death while sitting in a car with their mother on Oct. 13, 2015. Morgan’s mother, who was wounded, survived the attack.

After his brother’s death, Morgan vowed to “kill grandmas, mamas, kids and all.” Morgan, Doty and Edwards began going out daily armed with guns looking to retaliate, Alvarez said.

Mere days after Tracey Morgan’s death, Brianna Jenkins and DeShari Bowers were seated in a car near 78th Street and Honore on Oct. 18, 2015, when Doty is alleged to have walked up to the vehicle and fired multiple shots into into it. The bullets struck and killed Jenkins and wounded Bowens.

According to the charges, Doty later said he didn’t know who was in the car. When he and Edwards saw Bowens’ dreadlocks, they believed he was a rival gang member.

“After killing Brianna and shooting DeShari, he reloaded the gun and and carried it around,” Alvarez said.

Following the shootings of Jenkins and Bowens, Doty began surveillance of Tyshawn Lee’s grandmother “so he could kill her in order to draw out rival gang members,” the Cook County state’s attorney continued.

Doty is currently being held on $1 million bail on unrelated gun charges. Chicago police picked up Doty and Morgan in the weeks following Tyshawn’s murder last November in Evergreen Park after they left the Hilton Oak Lawn.

Police are reported to have found two .40-caliber handguns in the vehicle allegedly belonging to the men, who, as convicted felons, are prohibited from owning guns.

One of the guns was connected to the murder of Brianna Jenkins, Alvarez said.

Bail was set at $1 million for both men, but Morgan was able to post the required $100,000 bond with money used from a court settlement his girlfriend won in a lawsuit against a hospital.

Interim Chicago Police Superintendent John Escalante told reporters that the statements allegedly made by Doty about Tyshawn’s murder would eventually come out in a trial.

Sources are telling the Chicago Tribune that a jail inmate secretly recorded Doty implicating himself in both killings. The newspaper said Chicago police detectives obtained a court order for the informant to wear a wire and record Boone-Doty.

Escalante also encouraged Edwards “to turn himself in for his own good.”
