Skinny & Fat Shawty Murder Report: The Jaro City Argument That Ended In A Double Homicide

Reporting and analysis may discuss allegations and online theories. Allegations are not findings of guilt. Verify important details in the cited public record.

The Skinny and Fat Shawty case is one of those Chicago murder files where the paperwork gives you the bones of the story, but the internet gives you the rumor cloud around it. Officially, this was a double homicide at 2758 West Belmont Avenue on October 30, 2021, where two men, Keion L. Holton and Keyan A. Vance, were shot in a parking lot or garage area and later pronounced dead at Illinois Masonic Medical Center. Inside the report, it reads like a fast moving homicide scene with fleeing vehicles, witnesses hearing gunfire, a possible alley escape route, garbage cans searched for a missing weapon, hospital tension, and a USB drive handed over to detectives with possible video evidence. Online, the same case is remembered under different names: Skinny and Fat Shawty, a Jaro City connected tragedy that Reddit users tied to an argument, money rumors, old accusations, and a shooting that still gets debated years later.

The Night On Belmont

The official report places the shooting at 2758 West Belmont Avenue in Chicago, listed as a parking lot or garage location. That detail matters because this was not a closed off scene inside a house or apartment. This was an open area where cars could leave, people could scatter, and witnesses could only catch pieces of what happened. When officers responded to the shots fired call, the scene was already moving around them. The report describes multiple vehicles leaving the location, which means detectives were walking into a crime scene where evidence, witnesses, and possible suspects may have already been disappearing before the first full statement was taken.

The victims were identified as Keion L. Holton, 27, and Keyan A. Vance, 28. Both men were transported to Illinois Masonic Medical Center after suffering gunshot wounds. Vance was pronounced dead at 12:24 a.m., and Holton was pronounced dead at 12:47 a.m. In less than thirty minutes, what started as a shots fired call became a double murder investigation with two victims, an unknown offender, and detectives trying to build a case from a scene that had already started breaking apart.

The Victims Behind The Names

In the police paperwork, the victims are Keion Holton and Keyan Vance. In the street discussion, they are remembered as Skinny and Fat Shawty. That difference matters because the official report tells the legal side of the case, while the online conversation shows how people connected the victims to Chicago street history. Keyan Vance’s background paperwork listed him with a Gangster Disciples affiliation connected to Jaro City, which is one reason this case became part of Chiraqology discussion instead of fading away as another local homicide report.

The victim background material gives the case a deeper layer because it shows why Reddit users immediately started tying the shooting to Jaro City names, old relationships, and older rumors. The paperwork confirms the victims and the shooting, but the online discussion is where people started calling them by the names the streets knew them by and connecting the case to a larger world of Chicago politics.

The First Police Response

The first police response appears to have been chaotic from the beginning. Officers were sent to the Belmont location after reports of gunfire, and when they arrived, they had to deal with a public scene, fleeing vehicles, wounded victims, and limited offender information. The early offender section of the report did not give detectives a clean suspect description. The suspect was listed as unknown, which means the first layer of the case was not built around a clear face or name, but around movement, witness sounds, video evidence, and whatever physical evidence investigators could recover before the scene went cold.

That is what makes the paperwork valuable. It does not just say two men were shot. It shows how the scene unfolded around police in real time. The report captures the difference between a headline and an actual murder investigation, where every small detail can matter, including who left in what vehicle, who heard what sound, who approached police with evidence, and what family members were saying at the hospital.

The Alley And Garbage Can Detail

One of the most important details inside the report came from a witness who heard gunshots and then saw someone running eastbound through an alley. A short time later, the witness heard a garbage can lid open and slam shut. That sound made the witness believe the possible offender may have dumped a weapon into one of the garbage cans while escaping the area. Officers searched the garbage containers in the alley, but the report says nothing was recovered.

That scene is one of the strongest parts of the case file because it shows how thin the line can be between evidence and nothing. A witness hears gunfire, sees movement, hears a lid slam, and police immediately have to treat that sound like it might be the missing gun. Even though the search did not recover a weapon, the detail still matters because it shows investigators were chasing every possible clue in the minutes after two men were shot.

The USB Drive With Possible Video Evidence

The most valuable evidence detail in the free report is the USB drive. While officers were protecting the crime scene, someone approached police and handed over a USB thumb drive. According to the report, the person said the drive contained video footage connected to the shooting. The USB was turned over to detectives as part of the homicide investigation.

That single detail changes the weight of the case. This was not only a murder investigation built around people talking after the fact. Detectives may have had video material connected to the shooting early in the investigation, which means the case had a digital evidence angle from the beginning. The full members file goes deeper into the paperwork surrounding the evidence trail, supplemental reports, scene processing, and how the homicide investigation developed after that USB was handed over.

The Hospital Aftermath

After the shooting, the case moved from Belmont Avenue to Illinois Masonic Medical Center. The paperwork says both victims were transported there and later pronounced dead. A supplemental report also describes officers dealing with a disturbance outside the emergency room while detectives were being contacted. The report notes that members of Vance’s family were implying he had a weapon, and officers helped secure the emergency room entrance while the investigation continued.

That hospital detail gives the case a second layer of tension. By that point, the shooting scene had already produced two victims, but the shock from the murders was still spreading. Family members were arriving, emotions were rising, rumors were already moving, and police had to manage the hospital environment while detectives were still working to understand what happened on Belmont.

The Jaro City Connection

The Jaro City connection is one of the reasons this case became bigger online than it may have appeared in the original public reporting. Vance’s background paperwork listed a Gangster Disciples affiliation connected to Jaro City, and once that connection became part of the conversation, Reddit users started pulling the case into the larger Chicago drill archive.

On Chiraqology, murders are rarely discussed as isolated incidents. A name leads to an affiliation, an affiliation leads to old photos, old photos lead to older rumors, and before long, one police report becomes part of a larger neighborhood timeline. That is what happened here. The official file documented a double homicide, but Reddit turned it into a discussion about Jaro City history, street relationships, and the story behind why two men ended up dead that night.

The Reddit Version Of The Shooting

The Reddit version of the case is much more personal than the police report. One of the most discussed claims was that the shooting started during an argument connected to money allegedly owed to Big Dell. Commenters debated the details, the people involved, and whether the argument was really about money, old tension, or something deeper. One comment claimed PBG Bubbie killed Skinny during an argument and that a bullet allegedly exited Skinny’s neck and struck Fat Shawty. That claim is not confirmed in the visible police paperwork, but it became one of the most repeated parts of the online story because of how disturbing it sounded.

That is where the case becomes complicated. The official report confirms the double homicide, the victims, the location, the hospital deaths, the alley search, the USB evidence, and the later arrest. Reddit adds the alleged motive, the street names, the argument, the money rumor, and the claim that one shot may have connected both deaths. The free case file separates those two layers so readers can see what is documented and what is part of the street discussion.

The Money Argument Rumor

The money argument rumor became one of the strongest online angles because it gave people a possible reason for why the shooting happened. The thread connected the argument to money allegedly owed to Big Dell, and commenters treated that claim as part of a bigger web of Chicago street relationships. Some users brought up older names and older situations, trying to connect the Belmont shooting to years of tension that may have existed before that night.

The police report does not confirm that money was the motive, and it does not confirm the Big Dell claim. But the rumor matters because it shows how the case is remembered online. To the people discussing it, this was not simply a parking lot shooting. It was allegedly a personal dispute that turned deadly and pulled multiple names into the aftermath.

The Snitching Rumor

Another part of the Reddit discussion involved older accusations tied to Skinny. Some commenters brought up Swiper, Lil Darrell, and claims that Skinny had allegedly been accused of snitching on Lil B. None of that is confirmed in the homicide paperwork, but it became part of the larger rumor cloud around the case. In Chicago street discussions, allegations like that can follow a name for years, whether they are proven or not.

This is why the full report matters. Without the paperwork, the story can easily become nothing but rumor. With the paperwork, readers can see the confirmed foundation first, then understand how the internet built a second version around it.

The Arrest Of Diamonde Holton

The case eventually moved from an unknown offender investigation to a named arrest. The arrest report identifies Diamonde Deleon Holton as arrested on December 21, 2021, in connection with the murders of Keion Holton and Keyan Vance. The report lists two counts of first degree murder tied to both victims.

That arrest changed the case from a scene with unknown suspect information into a homicide file with a named defendant. The members only case file goes deeper into the arrest paperwork, background records, report pages, and additional documents tied to the investigation, including material that is too detailed for the public version.

Confirmed Paperwork Facts

The confirmed paperwork says the shooting happened on October 30, 2021, at 2758 West Belmont Avenue in a parking lot or garage area. The victims were Keion L. Holton and Keyan A. Vance. Both were shot and transported to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where Vance was pronounced dead at 12:24 a.m. and Holton was pronounced dead at 12:47 a.m. The original offender information was unknown. A witness told police they heard gunshots, saw someone running eastbound through an alley, and heard a garbage can lid slam, which led officers to search nearby garbage cans for a possible weapon. A USB thumb drive containing possible video evidence was handed over to detectives, and Diamonde Deleon Holton was later arrested on two first degree murder counts connected to both victims.

What Is Still Disputed

The disputed parts are the motive, the argument details, the money rumor, the alleged one bullet claim, and the older street accusations connected to Skinny. Reddit users discussed all of those pieces, but the official paperwork available in the free file does not confirm them as proven facts. That is why the case has to be read in two layers: the murder report gives the confirmed structure, and the street discussion shows how people close to the Chicago drill world interpreted what happened.

That separation is important because the case is not just about repeating rumors. It is about showing the full picture: what police documented, what Reddit claimed, what witnesses told officers, what evidence was collected, what was searched, who was arrested, and what details still remain debated.

The Full File Goes Deeper

The public version gives the core story, but the full case file opens the deeper archive. Inside the full members section, the case goes further into the murder report pages, arrest records, victim and suspect background material, Reddit screenshots, timeline details, possible evidence notes, scene breakdowns, and the extra paperwork connected to the Belmont double homicide. This is where the case becomes more than a summary. It becomes a full investigation file with screenshots, report images, names, dates, locations, street discussion, and documented details lined up in one place.

For readers who only want the basic story, the free version explains what happened. For readers who want to see the paperwork, the report pages, the Reddit posts, the deeper background, and the full murder file behind the story, the members section is where the case opens all the way up.

The Final Picture

The Skinny and Fat Shawty case stands out because it sits right between official homicide paperwork and Chicago street memory. The police file shows a double murder on West Belmont, two victims dying minutes apart, possible video evidence handed to detectives, a witness pointing police toward an alley, garbage cans searched for a missing weapon, a tense hospital aftermath, and a later arrest tied to both killings. The online version adds the names people remember, the Jaro City connection, the alleged money dispute, the argument story, the one bullet claim, and the older rumors that still surround the case.

The free side gives the full foundation of the story, but the deeper case file is where the full dump lives: the report pages, the screenshots, the arrest paperwork, the background files, the Reddit material, the scene details, and the extended breakdown that shows how this double homicide moved from a late night shooting call to a full Chicago murder archive.
