Dante Dockett’s unlikely turn as a federal cooperator took center stage in the racketeering trial of two of his longtime associates in the Wicked Town gang.
A criminal complaint alleged this semi-automatic assault pistol was part of the payment in a murder-for-hire plot that led to the execution-style slayings of a suspected police informant and his girlfriend in 2018.
Of all the cooperators who have testified in the trial so far, Dockett has the most baggage. Even before he took the witness stand Wednesday, prosecutors referred to Dockett in open court as “a serial murderer and a sociopath.” Dante Dockett, 44, pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy involving six murders, two attempted murders and drug trafficking on behalf of the Wicked Town gang enterprise.
By that time, Dockett was considered a “five star,” an older member of a gang who didn’t necessarily need to follow anyone else’s orders, according to courtroom testimony. It was that status that led to him taking matters into his own hands. Just two days after that shooting, Dockett testified that he was contracted by another gang member, Donald Holmes Sr., the father of his good friend, to travel to Kankakee and find a drug supplier who Holmes believed had robbed him of narcotics and cash during a home invasion several years earlier.
