- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Complex World is our docuseries that goes beyond the headlines with real issues and real news. This week, we bring you the story of Zack Stoner, an independent citizen journalist, who was shot and killed in downtown Chicago in May of 2018. Stoner gained local fame for his gritty videos that chronicled a life in Chicago that was rarely captured by news cameras. Naming himself the "hood CNN", Zack interviewed up and coming rappers such as Chief Keef, Famous Dex, and Lil Durk on his RUclips page ZackTV1. We speak to Zack's family, the Committee to Protect Journalists and Ntare Mwine, who plays Ronnie on the Showtime series The Chi about Zack's legacy and impact as a documentarian of Chicago's Southside and why his death remains unsolved.

Streets of chicago. Vlad tv got all of old and new hip hop. But vlad knows what do report and not. Zack had no limits
@Jack Johnson I'm talking 2006/2007 Vlad had the biggest interviews back then....and yes he was in they hood wit the camera....
Without Zacktv we wouldn't have known at least 80% of these Chiraq rappers today
Rest In Paradise King 🙏🏼

To be honest most of us knew chiraq cuz of Chief keef , Dj akademiks n Zack tv !

The one thing Complex do right! RIP ZACK
Noobz4Hire this made me cry bro

He put most niggas on in Chicago
For real
Did right you mean Smh
A journalist indeed. The coverage of the Kenneka Jenkins story is how I became aware of Zack. Tragic end. Justice for Zack.
Belinda Jackson when i became a fan.
Me too R.I.P. Zack 🙏🏾
Same 4 me... And I have mad respect 4 him 4 dat. Everybody got creeped out n scared but my boy ZackTV kept it pushing.
The streets and especially me will never forget Zack. He paved a way for other journalist to do they thing and do what's right.
Same
Ofc no one mentioned that he got murdered after starting to openly investigate kenneka Jenkins crime which just confirms what we already know. Kenneka was murdered
I’m glad y’all shedding light on bro’s hard work. He tried for his city fr fr.
King I Savality and his city murdered him.
His familiarity and ease with all the Chicago legends was so impressive. Everyone he interviewed felt like they were relaxed and real when talking to him. Like people trusted him enough to be themselves in front of the camera.
"WOAHHH WOAHHHHH Y'ALL GOT 30s?!?!?!" rest in peace zack
Lol😂 But Rip Zack🙏🏾
HeathenDeluxe neva forgoten
LMAFOOOOO MY BOY RIP ZACK

FACTS✊🏾
Of course we know zack for being in them trenches but let’s not forgot he was the only one to cover that Kenneka Jenkins case. RIP ZackTV
What ever happened with that
That girl was killed for her organs after being beatened & raped. The white folks in Rosemont covered it up & said she died by freezing to death ; which is a fukn lie. The females she hung with set her up & lured her there. Her momma filed a 50 mill lawsuit against the hotel & security company in hopes of uncovering the cover up AND THIS IS WHY ZACK WAS KILLED. HE WAS INVOLVED SOMEHOW..
True that, and was so f-ed up about the photos that came out!!
@@yakuvelspecialguest2519 he may have been informed of somethings about what happened but he damn sure didn't have anything to do with her death!
I think he may have try to help with the case in that’s probably what got he killed
A Real Hood Legend 🖤 Still can’t believe the shit till this day 💔
HoodLegends
Big facts miss his videos so bad knowing we wont get anymore smh
Zack did not die on no street shit he exposed or was exposing that organ ring
HoodLegends da day they smoke zack was da day niqqa closed da curten to da bloc intervews
el Andy2900
The truth hurts sometimes G
I still think his death had something to do with that phone call he got from that mysterious lady about backing off the Kenneka Jenkins case.
It was it definitely was it's coo tho god don't like ugly and they all goin die superrrr slow!!!
Young Luca dame I agree
Shit spooky how nobody has talked or blogged about it in a while.
Young Luca Lmfao
The Anonymous phone call from the one that called Zack. Was Teresa warning him to drop the case
Long overdue! Mad respect to whoever did this. Miss his interviews... "woah, woah!"
What block we on?
Zack was that dude man! There will never be another like him. Rest his soul frfr 🙏
RIP the man who created this lane, alotta ppl wouldnt be where they are if it wasnt for him

RIP Zacktv this still hurt my heart till this day.
Christopher Rawls

@Aaron G no u not on shit😈
R.I.P. King Zack he is the person who made me start youtube. Definitely missed you don’t find too many like Zack . He was in the trenches with it giving the voiceless a voice. We gotta do better people so much talent lost. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Long Live Zack TV 1

Hahah real shit i miss that man no joke..Long live Zack 💯
Right lol.
Zack was purely himself... That's why the streets and the whole world thar knew of him grew to love him because he ALWAYS KEPT IT 💯✔!!
You guys have to watch Zack’s YT channel. His older videos of his vlogs and live videos he had when he was talking about being pulled over by the police, the phone calls from random people giving him warnings to watch his back, plus more. They’re saying on here he didn’t have any enemies, but according to Zack’s videos it’s the opposite.
Shout to Zack TV for putting me on with the Chicagoland Rappers. Thanx for coming to Baltimore a couple of times to. Rest In Glory: Zach Stoner.....
Im really gonna miss them Zack adlibs in them interviews man. R.I.P. Zack Tv.
I bet we watched a video with the people involved in Zack's murder
Deep
“You already know man..” Zack
Nah he never interviewed MMG's opps
They killed him
GBE GERMZ you from the raq?
GBE GERMZ bro you play fortnite you don't know shit about this street shit lol
Thank you for showing homage to Zack I’ve been watching him since his L’A and Rondo interview he was a unicorn 🦄 in Chicago one of a kind was welcomed in all neighborhoods and well loved!
Zach’s downfall was getting involved in that kenneka Jenkins case and he got so close to cracking it and they killed him.
He cracked the case I believe...in his part 6.. And had even more proof .... Sad asf
They staying far away from that Kenneka story. I believe that made him a target
Facts 💯💯💯
That kenneka story really deeper then y’all think
I doubt he was involved
Sir Kedz how do you say that have you watched any of his interviews on this shit goes deeper then u think
Hunter Benoit put me down
Zack made it, only after he passed. One time for Zack
Shit should've been longer R.I.P ZACKTV.
Finally something on complex i can get all the way behind 💪🏾 #ripzack
💯💯💯 LongLiveZack
There will never be another like him..R.i.p zack🙏
One things for sure ...Zack died fearless with a good heart R.I.P 🌹
WOW..I just found Zack from an interview he did. And to learn he was gunned down..Such a tragedy.
He seemed to really have a gift! Rest In Power King!!
🗣Zack was black excellence!!!❤️🌹
Ya Ya The Lyricist wowwww
For sure baby
Young CA hey wassup love I’m from INDiana!
Tristan yesss 🙏
“Black excellence” how so? 🤔. I don’t remember him telling them niggas in Chicago to put the guns down, quit rapping about killing eachother and try to live an upright life...What’s excellent about that?
Zack brought the hood to the rest of the world. Zack introduced me to so much new talent and music way before it was on the radio or tv. He truly loved the city and was an amazing soul. RIP. I’m glad to see his brother has picked up the torch. Blessings🙏
RIP Zacktv! He helped put the spotlight on Chicago. Crazy how his own city did that to Him??
I hate my city sometimes frfr
That's what Boosie said " hypnotized by hatred"
Ain’t no way I would live in Chicago
@@annacaldwell4108 ME EITHER AND I WAS BORN AN PARTLY RAISED THERE BUT MY MOM DIDN'T WANT FINISHED RAISING ME THERE BECAUSE OF HOW IT ALWAYS BEEN UNFORTUNATELY! SMDH!

EXACTLY !FACT'S TRUTH SMDH!SO SAD!
I'm from Philly and became a fan of Chicago music because of ZACK ✊🏿
Zacktv was a real one he was trying so hard to get fbg and oblock/600 to end their beef
No he wasn't lol he knew that would never happen. His hood 10-5 MMG got murder beef too. He know how shit go.
@@idontwantone132 everytime he did a interview with duck he would always tell him that he really wish they would kill the beef because he would love to see them work with their opps
He was
And it’s sad the city killed him so sad that’s why Chicago will never rest
Imagine if they ended that shit back around 2010, and started collaborating with this music shit... alot of families would be set rn. That's a fact!
If everybody loved him then he proly had a hit on him for pressin that kenneka case
Makes sense.
Facts!
EXACTLY! I BELIEVE IT!SMDH!
Exactly
That’s what one dude said they wanted t streets and Zach
Rip zack a young legend

I still get teary eyed my boy. RIP
REST IN PEACE ZACK!! he always replied to me on snapchat!! I told him one day that i had a nightmare that something bad happened to him and to stay safe and he replied "100"
I was one of the very first people he interviewed in Green Bat WI. In 2010. He was a great individual indeed. I will never forget. May your legacy live on. I will continue to promote & sing Caribbean music as you suggested I should. So from the courts in Green Bay to Milwaukee to Chicago where you art began may it live on.. RIP
He is in heaven, he made a huge impact on Chicago sad world

Duck shouting him out in legends is legendary
I always thought Zack's hood pass was stamped and certified. I guess they ain't got love for nobody these days.
He didnt get killed in the hood tho
Gov did it
Gov.......
He didn't get killed in the hood???
He got killed on a busy strip with alot of cameras yet police saying it was gang related WHY because he interviewed gang member could have been could not have been either way he's not here over some FUCK SHIT
One of the bravest men to ever walk the earth.
Rest easy Zack we still got love for zack
S/o ZachTv. Our very own hometown journalist.
All love to this great motivator.
Rest well, young King.
WORD IS BOUND I MISS ZACK R.I.P. JERSEY LOVE ....
Rest in peace to Zack... he wouldve been way further right now
When zack got killed I was shocked and was like how the hell Chicago let this happen especially to him shame on them I don’t think those bullets were for him but that just means they need to stop the senseless killing the man was tryna make a living for his family with good content.. zack would have millions of views today bless your soul man & R.i.p lil mister too
Zack know why he was killed
CATCH ME ON ALL PLATFORMS 🤟🏽 ffm.to/4v13yne
2017 i found out about this man and heard good things about him it seems like yesterday this happened i hope that Zack getting justice
I'm from Detroit he put me onto a lot of Chicago culture I can't believe Dawg got assassinated God bless the dead.
I thought he got killed over interviewing ppl about that girl that died in a hotel freezer
itstony1986
That’s what they say he got some phone ☎️ calls from crazy 😜 people about that girl
What yall slow. Zack died bout some gang shit. His opps killed him although he ain't gangbang he was rapping his block. People from his hood killed one of the big opps and zack was jus retaliation
itstony1986 me too
Factz he did
He did die over kenneka murder
The people who killed keneeka Jenkins is the ones who killed zack
Cherish Bug they had to be the ones who tf would delete all his content they trying to erase him
Highly agreed I just watch the mtv show about her and I seen that zacktv got shot
X A V I E R they are the ones who called kJs mom and sister and told them they have 24 hours to get out of that house kids and all or they are dead it’s on RUclips if they haven’t erased that one also but it was online last year
Cherish Bug yeao
Exzactly.
Rip Zack if it wasn't for the hating he would still be here today just over 30 and a legend much respect to that man forever
THE CURE FOR THE WORLD IS LOVE BUT TO LOVE ANYTHING IN LIFE CAN KILL YOU. RIP ZACK HE WAS A SUPERHERO TO THE HOOD.
Yes my man u understand the duality of LOVE ❤️😘💕
after watching this video, lemme just warn ppl; it was lies from start to finish bcuz the dudes in it knew the same night who killed zack
Sure did.

I remember feeling really eerie watching his last interview w irene in that house smh
I'm surprised they didn't put anything about him covering the Kenneka case in this...but salute to whoever brought this to the platform.

@@MartyMcfly720 that's not a conspiracy that's a plain and simple fact dumdass dude do some research and stop believing what the news tell you with yo ol gullible silly easy to fool ass. And next time you see my comments and you don't agree just keep scrolling cuz I hate when lost niggas who don't have a clue about the shit that REALLY goes on in this world try to debate with me over shit they don't know about it's like arguing with a sack of potatoes. Niggas ain't got no proof that I'm not right
Kee Yahood you dumb as fuck
R.I.P. Zacktv. He stayed in traffic. He kept a spotlight on Kenneka Jenkins when he was with us. Salute to a real one.💪🏾
That "woahh woahh" was legendary rip bro
Rip Zack He was one in a million
R i p zack love fr London
Maybe this just me I think Zack murder has a lot to do with that Kenneka Jenkins murder. And he was digging and the powers that be sent them thuggies towards Zack life. To shut him up and his curiosity. Rest well brother. 🙏🏼😔
@@melekey you don't understand how humans and negative energies work. You shall be shown.
@@theonlynuclearbombyt3347 the unwoke minds look at the woke minds as twisted... peace be with you
no it doesnt..it was the rivals of his 10-5 hood..they wanted a hit that would hurt them..top target is in jail who is zacks cousin so they took zack the next best option..its not that deep yall just love a conspiracy
@@ldillon9207 right it was just a big coincidence that after he got on the case of that lil girl he ended up dead. You simple minded. If it was mfs that wanted revenge what tf took so long? Zack been around why they decide to wait so long to get him if that's the case? Why didnt they kill his cousin before he went to jail if that's the case? You a whole goof troop.
@@ldillon9207 plus he ain't even get hit in the hood. The fact it was on camera and nobody was arrested. Yea that's ya average gang shit in Chicago right? Foh lol. LLZ! He was on to something and they wanted him to hush. Not 1 Chicago gang member or dude affiliated with the streets get killed outside the hood. But zack did and you talking about another hood did it. Smh
All he did was Spread Laughs n Positive Vibes... My Mans just Wanted A SUPERDONUT from the korner store!! Smh I Know Zack wouldve loved recognitioning n a milestone from such enormous platform!!! Rest On Kool King Stoner
R.I.P ZACK. Dope to see complex cover some real shit.
Nah Chicago gotta hold this capital L for killing Zack SMH
Knowledge is Power nah y'all gotta hold that L
