An aspiring rapper from Chicago was just sentenced to 99 years in prison for hiring a hitman to kill his mother.
30-year-old Qaw’mane Wilson known as “Young QC” plotted to have his mother killed so he could spend his inheritance on cars and attempt to set up a music career for himself.
Wilson was a spoiled only child, his mother, a successful hair salon owner, Yolanda Holmes doted on him. She lavished him with fancy clothes, jewelry, and a Mustang.
Instead of showing gratitude, Wilson hired his friend Eugene Spencer to kill his mother.
Cook County Judge Stanley Sacks described his callous act in court on Friday, “The word is ‘matricide,’ meaning murder of one’s own mother,” Sacks said as he stared down from the bench at Wilson and Spencer.
Spencer rode with Wilson’s girlfriend to his mother’s apartment in Uptown Chicago in 2012, and shot Holmes as she slept in her bed. He then struggled with Holmes boyfriend, knocking him unconscious and returned to stab Holmes after a phone conversation with Wilson, who told him to “make sure the bitch is dead.”
After his mother’s brutal death, Wilson collected the money in her bank accounts, and in the months after her murder, callously used that cash to customize the Mustang she had given him with gull-wing doors.
The aspiring rapper even withdrew money from the bank to toss around at his “fans” in a YouTube video that was played for the jury.
Judge Sacks announced his sentence as Wilson and Spencer sat quietly in the courtroom. Wilson received 99 years in prison, while Spencer was sentenced to 100 years.
When asked if he had anything to say before Sacks made his ruling, Wilson was brief saying, “I just want to say, nobody loved my mother more than me,” he said. “She was all I had. That’s it.”
