RobertSandifer (March 12, 1983[1] – September 1, 1994) (also known as Yummy) was an African-American boy from Chicago, Illinois. His murder by fellow gang members in Chicago garnered national attention because of his age,[2][3][4][5] resulting in his appearance on the cover of Time magazine in September 1994.[4] His nickname originates from his love for cookies.[6] Standing 4 ft 6 in (137 cm), Sandifer was a young member of the Chicago street gang the Black Disciples (BD).
After committing murder, theft, and armed robbery, he was murdered by his own fellow gang members who feared Sandifer could become a “snitch”, and expose all their criminal activities to authorities if he were arrested. Coverage of Sandifer's death and retrospectives on his short, violent life were widely published in the American media. Sandifer became a symbol of the gang problem in American inner cities, the failure of social safety nets, and the shortcomings of the juvenile justice system.
