Aspiring Chicago rapper who hired hitman to kill his mother so that he could use her money to customize the Mustang she bought for him is sentenced to 99 years in prison

An aspiring rapper in Chicago was sentenced to 99 years in prison after he and a hitman he hired to gun down his mother were found guilty of murdering the woman.

Qaw’mane Wilson, who raps under the name ‘Young QC’, was sentenced by Judge Stanley Sacks, in Cooks County, on Friday.

Sacks also gave the hitman, Eugene Spencer, a similar punishment, 100 years in prison for the slaying of Wilson’s mother, Yolanda Holmes, in 2012.

‘The word is ‘matricide’, meaning murder of one’s own mother,’ the judge said as he stared down from the bench at Wilson and Spencer, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
