BLACK DETROIT HIT MAN-MOST DANGEROUS IN U.S. HISTORY) Introduction:
When you speak of dangerous black enforcers/hit men, people often name Wayne "Silkk" Perry as the most dangerous hit man in history. I beg to differ, as reported before, Chester Campbell Wheeler (above) is the most dangerous black hit man in U.S. history. This contract killer is alleged to have killed 300 people.
Chester Campbell Wheeler was feared by other hit men. They were also in awe of him.
He charged $10,000 per hit in the 1970's-1980's. He was usually flown in by clients (all expenses paid) to execute the intended target. He was always attired in black when he murdered people.
Law enforcement didn't instill fear in Wheeler, on one occasion, he tried to run them off the road.
Cops found a "kill list" notebook (in his car) that included 300 names of victims and dead informants as well as daily routines and the diagrams of homes.

Backstory:
A convicted murderer and reputed hit man for drug dealers -- who triggered a furor in 1975 when
he was arrested with notebooks filled with details about drug investigations and top law
enforcement officials -- was arrested Wednesday by federal agents.
The arrest of Chester Wheeler Campbell, 57, appeared to be a carbon copy of the 1975 incident
in which police also seized drugs and weapons from him.
Marijuana, heroin, cocaine, one shotgun, six handguns -- one equipped with a silencer -- and the
ingredients for a remote- controlled firebomb were among the items seized from Campbell
Wednesday, said Kenneth Walton, special agent in charge of the Michigan FBI office.
Campbell, on parole for a federal weapons violation, was arrested at 9 a.m. by FBI and U.S.
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents as he drove from his home in the 5200 block of
Ivanhoe on Detroit's west side, Walton said.
"We received information that he was a convicted felon who was in possession of firearms,"
Walton said.
AFTER Campbell stepped out of the car, FBI agents searched him and found a .45 caliber semi-
automatic pistol and "what appeared to be a ballpoint pen, but was actually what is known as a
pen gun that fires a single .22 caliber bullet," Walton said.
Inside the car, Walton said, agents found a .44 Magnum semi- automatic pistol loaded with
exploding bullets, a .357 Magnum revolver, a .38 caliber revolver, a .32 caliber semi-automatic
pistol and a 12-gauge shotgun.
The agents also found about $10,000 cash in the car and a book containing the names and
addresses of "what appears to be every known major narcotics dealer in Detroit," Walton said.
The car also was filled with what Walton called "personal, handwritten records and other
documents . . . that appear to be surveillance reports on various individuals and . . . records of
various narcotics transactions."
In the trunk, agents found a remote control timing device, blasting caps and gasoline, Walton
said.
During a search of Campbell's two-story brick home, agents found another shotgun, three more
revolvers and 44 pounds of marijuana, Walton said.
CAMPBELL, who has served time in prison on murder, robbery and drug charges, was paroled
in September 1984 after being convicted on weapons charges.
He appeared Wednesday before U.S. District Court Magistrate Virginia Morgan on charges of
illegally possessing weapons and possession with intent to distribute heroin.
Morgan ordered Campbell held without bond. If convicted, Campbell faces a maximum sentence
of 50 years.
