Rapper Ksoo, born Hakeem Robinson, receives 10-year sentence plus probation in 2019 killing of teen Adrian Gainer Jr

Hakeem Robinson, also known as Ksoo, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison followed by five years of probation in connection with the February 2019 killing of 16-year-old Adrian “Bibby” Gainer Jr., authorities confirmed.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, Robinson was arrested on March 11, 2021, and charged with Gainer’s murder. At the time of his arrest, he was already in custody on separate charges related to the January 2020 killing of Charles “Lil Buck” McCormick Jr.

Investigators said a witness reported that Robinson shot Gainer at close range. Authorities also cited social media posts and videos allegedly created by Robinson that appeared to reference or mock the killing as part of the evidence in the case.

Robinson had previously been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for a separate murder conviction.
