McArthur Swindle, also known as OTF Nunu or Nuski, was a 21-year-old African American male and an aspiring rapper from Chicago, IL. He was tragically shot and killed on May 31, 2014, in the Chatham neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago. Swindle was sitting in a sport-utility vehicle in a parking lot at the Chatham Village Square Mall when an unidentified suspect approached and opened fire. The incident occurred around 3:20 p.m., and Swindle was struck multiple times.
Despite attempting to drive away, he crashed the vehicle into a storefront and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Swindle's death was particularly notable due to his familial connection to prominent rapper Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks. Swindle, who was also known by his stage names OTF Nunu and Nuski, was working on new music and was seen as having significant potential in the rap industry. His manager, Merk Murphy, described him as a talented individual who was on the verge of a major breakthrough in his music career.
The police initially suggested that the shooting might have been gang-related, although Swindle's family disputed this claim, stating that he was not involved in gang activities. His aunt, Sherri Swindle, emphasized that McArthur was a kindhearted person who was focused on his music and education. He was also a college student and a father to a young daughter.
As of the latest available information, there have been no arrests or identified suspects in connection with Swindle's murder. The investigation into his death remains open, with law enforcement continuing to seek leads and information from the public. The lack of resolution in the case has been a source of ongoing pain for Swindle's family and friends, who continue to call for justice.
