So here we are, diving into a tale that’s as tangled as a Mercury retrograde in the house of mayhem — Melvin Doyle, aka Mello Buckzz’s dad, didn’t hit pause on selling firearms, even after a mass shooting gutted the vibe at his daughter’s album drop party. Four souls lost, fourteen wounded, but old Doyle kept the hustle alive, selling guns to undercover agents like it was just another day in the chaotic cosmos of Chicago’s River North. With a past juicier than a Scorpio’s secrets — attempted murder, drug trafficking — the guy was legally toast, barred from owning firearms, yet there he was, caught red-handed in the act. Now, I can’t help but wonder if the stars whispered any warnings he ignored or if fate loves throwing curveballs when you least expect ’em. It’s one hell of a tragedy wrapped in irony, and trust me, this saga’s just heating up. LEARN MORE
Mello Buckzz’s dad kept selling firearms even after a mass shooting outside his daughter’s album release party left four people dead and 14 wounded, federal prosecutors said.
Melvin Doyle, 45, was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm after allegedly selling 13 guns to undercover informants between May 20 and July 7, according to a federal complaint.
One of those transactions happened just days after the July 2 shooting outside Artis Lounge in Chicago’s River North neighborhood, where Mello Buckzz had hosted a private event.
Authorities said Doyle, who has prior felony convictions for attempted murder and drug trafficking, was legally barred from owning or selling any firearms.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) launched an investigation in May after receiving tips that Doyle was dealing guns.
Agents used confidential informants to arrange and record multiple buys from Doyle, including one at his home on the 5800 block of South Martin Luther King Drive.
Investigators have not linked Doyle’s weapons to the shooting, and no suspects have been arrested in the case.
Doyle’s criminal history includes a 1998 conviction for attempted murder, a 2003 conviction for manufacturing and delivering controlled substances, and a 2006 conviction for heroin distribution.
Those convictions make it illegal for him to possess or sell firearms. Prosecutors say the gun sales were all captured on audio and video.
Police are still on the hunt for multiple gunmen who opened fire in front of Mello Buckzz’s mixtape release party.
They shot from a dark-colored vehicle around 1:30 a.m. July 2, targeting a crowd outside the club. The shooters fled the scene, and detectives believe the attack may have been retaliatory.
A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to arrests.
