JEFF FORT on TYSHAWN LEE

Congressman Bobby Rush went to the most secure prison in the United States - ADMAX prison in Florence, Colorado - to meet with two inmates who founded the gangs at the center of a dispute that police say triggered Tyshawn's murder one week ago. "Right now, as I see it, they're part of the solution, not part of the problem," said Rep. Bobby Rush. The reverend/congressman Bobby Rush was in full pastoral dress as he talked with Larry Hoover and Abdul Malik Kabah - formerly known as Jeff Fort - about Tyshawn Lee, the targeted 9-year-old murder victim. "They knew about it and were appalled at it," Rush said. Hoover, who co-founded the Gangster Disciples, has been in prison since a 1973 murder conviction. He was transferred to ADMAX for running a drug ring from an Illinois prison. Fort formed the Black P-Stone Nation in the 1960s. His ADMAX sentence is the result of a terrorism-related conviction. Investigators say decades later, factions of gangs founded by Hoover and Fort led to the Tyshawn Lee murder last week. "Jeff/Malik and Larry said, 'Use my name. Tell those youngsters to stop the killing,'" Rush said.
