Does anyone know when Craig Cradduck was killed. He was an original East Side Crip during Raymond Washington's era, but was killed early on. Anyone know the year or date?

Craig Crodduck was Raymond's right hand man.. he was his top dawg. He died early on (somewhere between 71-72).

I had the spelling of his name wrong, and so did everyone else who wrote his name but it is Craig Craddock (born September 22, 1954 - died October 5, 1972). In my notes I have him down as one of the first Crips to be murdered during a failed robbery of Kitchen Liquor Store (?) at Central & Manchester at the age of 18. The liquor store is no longer there so I cannot confirm the name. You were correct, 1972.

Craig was actually shot and killed by an acquaintance that he was bullying at the time. Dude was fed up with Criag, and shot him. Had nothing to do with a robbery of a liquor store.
