Alleged Four Corner Hustler caught on federal wiretap charged with 2013 murder

A joint city and federal investigation has led to a murder charge in a 6-year-old Humboldt Park shooting against an alleged member of the Outlaw faction of the Four Corner Hustlers street gang.

Pierre Mayweather, 27, appeared for a bail hearing Friday at the Leighton Criminal Court Building were he faced a first-degree murder charge in the shooting of 23-year-old Tevin Kirkman on May 24, 2013, according to Cook County prosecutors.

Mayweather was allegedly heard confessing to the murder on a federal surveillance recording, according to prosecutors, who did not say when the recording was made.

The surveillance was conducted jointly by Chicago police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, according to court records.

Prosecutors said Mayweather is an admitted member of the Outlaw faction of the Four Corner Hustlers street gang, which was founded by notorious gang leader Labar “Bro Man” Spann in the early 2000s, the Sun-Times has reported.

Between October 2012 and January 2013, five wiretaps were granted on phones that were used by Spann. An ongoing federal case against 11 members of the gang, including Spann, charges members with six murders between 2000 and 2003.

Kirkman had just left his grandmother’s home to go out to a club with friends when Mayweather walked up to him and shot him, prosecutors said at the hearing Friday. When Kirkman fell to the ground, Mayweather shot him several more times.

Prosecutors said the shooting occurred during a period of time when the Four Corner Hustlers were trying to take over drug sales in the area, which Kirkman was involved with.

Kirkman suffered three gunshot wounds to his head and three more to his body and was pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital, prosecutors said.

A warrant was issued for Mayweather’s arrest July 10, and he was taken into custody Thursday, according to court records.

An assistant public defender for Mayweather said he was a lifelong resident of west suburban Maywood who was recently hired at a restaurant and had been steadily employed.

Judge Mary Marubio ordered Mayweather held without bail and scheduled his next hearing for Aug. 8.
