Two men have been charged with the death of rapper EBE Bandz (aka Billy Da Kid) and concealing his remains, which were found nearly 200 miles away from his home.
Bandz (real name: William Pickering) was reported missing on June 1st by his mother. Days later, police in Rockford, Illinois revealed they were investigating a missing person report connected to what they called “suspicious activity” in regards to the 23-year-old rapper’s disappearance near the Valencia Apartments where he lived.
According to WIFR 23 News, on Thursday (Jun. 20), nearly a month after Pickering was last seen, detectives located a crime scene in Hanover Park, Illinois, which eventually led police to find Pickering’s body 60 miles away in unincorporated Winnebago County.
Police arrested William Arzate and Miguel Ramirez, who are both 22 years old.
Arzate is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of concealing a homicide, and Ramirez is charged with one count of concealing homicide.
Rockford Police Chief Dan O’Shea said police are still looking for other people of interest.
