"Rest in peace to LGP QUA," Gillie said. "It's just crazy out here in Philly that, you know, it's coming out that some youngins tried to rob him for his chains and ended up killing him. To the youngins that did it, it's like, y'all can't even go sell the chains. You can't even get rid of the chains so y'all killed the man for nothing. And just know, he was a man who talked peace on the streets. So y'all got about like a week before y'all get caught."
