Friday, October 25, 2024 - Popular Chicago rapper Lil Durk has been arrested in South Florida and charged with murder-for-hire.
The rapper whose real name is Durk Banks, is being held
without bond in Broward County Jail.
Lil Durk’s arrest is grounded in an extensive federal
investigation that links him to a conspiracy charge around a murder-for-hire
scheme.
According to police records, Durk is currently awaiting
transfer of custody to U.S. Marshals, signaling that federal authorities are
taking over the case.
The arrest comes as a result of the investigation into the
murder of Saviay’a Robinson aka Lul Pab, cousin to Quando Rondo, another
well-known figure in the rap world. Robinson was killed in Los Angeles in 2022,
and authorities allege a network of affiliations within the OTF collective,
linking them directly to this act of violence.
The indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles
claims that five other Chicago natives Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell
Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey, and Asa Houston, allegedly tied to
OTF, have been arrested alongside Durk.
According to the news outlet, all five men have been
indicted on charges including conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, committing
murder-for-hire involving a death, and use of a machine gun in a violent crime
resulting in death.
Prosecutors argue that these individuals were backed by
resources allegedly provided by Lil Durk’s collective.
Among the evidence presented are flights and rental car
reservations, reportedly paid for with a credit card connected to the OTF
label.
The prosecution further alleges that OTF offered “lucrative
music opportunities” to anyone who could eliminate Quando Rondo.
