JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A jury is expected to deliver the verdict in the murder trial of Jacksonville rapper Ksoo, real name Hakeem Robinson, accused with the murder of Charles McCormick in 2020.

The jury deliberated for three and a half hours starting Thursday afternoon.

Prosecutors said Robinson gunned down McCormick as he walked out of a temp agency on Merrill Road in January 2020.

The crime was motivated by the death of Robinson’s stepbrother Willie Addison, who was shot when coming out of a club the year before. While Robinson and his co-defendant are documented members of Jacksonville gang ATK, Addison was killed by a member of 6block, a rival gang. Prosecutors say McCormick was part of 6block also.

They said McCormick wrote a “diss track” about Addison’s death, making fun of a shooting that not only killed him, but badly injured Robinson’s father, brother and cousin.

Prosecutors say this was Robinson’s motivation in killing McCormick. The narrative described by the state is that Robinson, his co-defendant Leroy Whitaker and accomplice Dominique Barner stalked McCormick together. While they said Robinson was caught on camera shooting McCormick, Whitaker was accused of being in the car with a loaded gun, also ready to shoot.

During six days of testimony, law enforcement, DNA experts and eyewitnesses testified in the trial. The state brought dashcam and surveillance video of the shooting, as well as social media posts where they say Robinson was bragging about killing McCormick.

While the state argued that Robinson was easily connected to the crime, the defense argued that he was not the man in the video. They solicited testimony throughout the trial from witnesses who agreed Robinson was too large and tall to be the man in the video, including a police officer who said that when Robinson was arrested, he was surprised by his build.

The defense also argued that Robinson’s phone was not connected to the crime and pointed out that the murder weapon was never found.

Robinson’s father, a confessed accomplice to the crime, testified against him. He identified Robinson as the shooter in the video, though he said it was the “hardest thing” he had done in his life. Robinson’s defense said that he was no more than a “DNA donor” and that his own violent history meant he was not a trustworthy witness.

This case is related to a web of other crimes in Jacksonville and other parts of the state involving the ATK and 6block rivalry. Robinson faces another trial in the death of Adrian Gainer. He is charged with shooting and killing him — an incident that is mentioned in a viral song by Yungeen Ace, who’s also a member of ATK.
