Chicago drill rapper Chadwick Clark, known as Lowick or LoWick, died Wednesday morning in an FBI-involved shooting during a court-authorized operation in Dixmoor, Illinois. The 22-year-old was killed around 7 a.m. near 145th Street and Cooper Avenue as federal agents served a warrant at a residence.
The FBI confirmed one person died and no agents were injured. The bureau’s Inspection Division is reviewing the incident as standard procedure. Officials described the activity as court-authorized law enforcement work but have not released details on the warrant, what prompted gunfire inside the home, or whether Clark was armed.
Clark’s sister, Nia Cole, 27, publicly identified her brother and voiced deep grief.
“It made me feel like I wanted to die as well,”
Cole said.
“I feel like I was robbed of something and my heart is completely broken.”
She described him as a
“sweet soul and good person who didn’t deserve this at all.”
Cole said Clark was hiding accounts include the attic and did not know what was happening. She claimed he was walking out when shot and questioned whether he posed a threat or had a weapon.
“How did they shoot him inside an attic? If he was hiding, he didn’t have any weapons on him,”
she told reporters. These remain family statements; investigators have not publicly confirmed the full sequence of events.
Clark left behind a two-year-old daughter. Family said he was the youngest of nine children (or one of seven in some accounts), had recently finished jail time, and was preparing to start a job at Amazon while trying to get his life on track after parole. Cole noted she last spoke with him the night before, when he asked her to stay with him. The family has endured prior loss; another brother was fatally stabbed in 2013.
In Chicago’s drill scene, Lowick appeared in songs and videos with Bloodhound Q50, who was killed in a separate September incident. Coverage has described him as a Bloodhound affiliate. Family said his music featured violent themes and prop guns but stressed it did not define him. “All the guns that he had up in his videos were prop guns,” Cole said.
“All he talked about was getting off parole and taking care of his daughter.”
Court records show prior issues: a 2023 arrest for leaving the scene of a crash that seriously injured two people in Hazel Crest; later charges involving a stolen vehicle and loaded handgun; and a September 2025 guilty plea to failing to report an accident and a weapons charge that brought a three-year sentence (with credit for time served). He was on parole at the time of his death. An earlier armed robbery warrant from Indiana was dismissed.
Neighbors described agents making announcements, banging on the door, flash-bang devices, and gunfire some recalled about six shots. Authorities forced entry. Responders performed CPR before transporting Clark; he was pronounced dead. Roughly five other people were taken into custody, though identities and charges have not been released. Dixmoor police assisted only with a perimeter.
This was the second fatal FBI-involved shooting in the Chicago area within about three days. On or around October 26-27, an off-duty agent fatally shot a man in Pilsen after reporting the individual was firing into a group. No evidence publicly links the two incidents.
Authorities have not disclosed the warrant’s purpose, whether Clark was the target, what immediately preceded the shots, or findings from body-camera or other evidence. The FBI stated it takes all agent-involved shootings seriously and the Inspection Division review is underway, with no further details available while the matter continues.
