Lil Durk Charged in Murder-for-Hire Plot

News summary

Chicago rapper Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Devontay Banks, has been charged with new felonies in an alleged murder-for-hire plot targeting rival rapper Quando Rondo. The charges include conspiracy, use of interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire, and firearms offenses, potentially resulting in a life sentence if convicted. The indictment alleges that the plot was retaliation for the 2020 murder of King Von, a close associate of Lil Durk. Five other individuals linked to Lil Durk's rap collective, Only the Family (OTF), are also charged. Investigators claim Durk offered money and opportunities to anyone who would kill Rondo, and that his associates traveled from Chicago to Los Angeles to carry out the attack. The case is set to proceed in federal court in Los Angeles, where all defendants are expected to be arraigned soon.
