VERDICT: UNVERIFIED. A viral video says Lamron’s Lil Dre got arrested with SIX bodies on his name. The arrest looks real, but the murders trace back to a banned Reddit account, and even the video says the arrest was NOT for murders.

THE CLAIM

My Mixtapez posted that it’s “alleged” Lil Dre has 6 bodies after he reportedly slid for Chiraq rapper Smurk following his passing, before getting arrested. Aggregators repeated it within hours. The clip adds that “according to Reddit, “ he was tied to the murder of O’Block’s Munna Duke. Then it says the arrest is “not for the murders.” The is in the clip itself.

WHAT WE FOUND

  • CONFIRMED: The posts exist. My Mixtapez posted at 4:19 AM on Nov 11 and the clip passed 28K views.
  • CONFIRMED: Fox 32 Chicago reports a 21-year-old named Andre Baker was charged after a Wednesday West Side shooting and SWAT standoff. FIVE counts: aggravated battery with a firearm, two for resisting officers, two gun charges. No murder charge.
  • CONFIRMED: Munna Duke and Younggin were killed in Edgewater in May 2025, per CWB Chicago. Real victims, real case.
  • CONFIRMED: The Reddit arrest clip is 28 seconds of bystander footage. The only audio is crowd chatter. Nobody says a name or the word murder.
  • NOT CONFIRMED: That Baker is “Lil Dre.” Reddit threads from the same week say so, but Fox 32 never uses that name or mentions Lamron.
  • NOT CONFIRMED: The 6 bodies. The “source” is a Reddit list of real killings under his name, posted by an account that is now banned. No police, court or outlet backs it.
  • NOT CONFIRMED: “Arrested for murder.” That is a Reddit post title. Reddit posts from the same days describe shootings and five felony counts instead.
  • NOT CONFIRMED: Any link to the Munna Duke and Younggin case. We found no arrests or charges in it, and the Reddit posts tying him to it are about nine months old.
  • NOT CONFIRMED: Smurk’s death or revenge slides. One Reddit post titled about a “slide” for BabySmurk is the only source we found.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Fox 32 counted one shooting. The timeline counted six. Somebody is rounding up. A real arrest exists and that is where the verified part ends. The murders, the Smurk story and the Lil Dre name all trace back to anonymous Reddit threads, which makes this a rumor wearing a police costume. UNTIL POLICE OR A NEWS OUTLET PUTS A NAME NEXT TO A BODY COUNT, IT STAYS UNVERIFIED.
