Chicago rapper Lil Durk has been arrested in Florida on a murder-for-hire charge

BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. — Chicago rapper “Lil Durk” was arrested Thursday night by US Marshals in Florida.

According to jail records, 32-year-old “Lil Durk,” whose birth name is Durk Banks, was booked into the Broward County Jail pending charges of self-inflicted murder.

On Thursday, five members of Banks’ hip-hop group, Only the Family (OTF), were indicted on federal charges in Los Angeles in a plot to kill rapper Quando Rondo.

The indictment, unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, charged Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston.

Those named in the indictment face charges including conspiracy to commit private murder, private homicide resulting in death, and using, carrying and discharging firearms and a machine gun in order to committing a crime of violence resulting in death.

Rondo survived a shooting in LA two years ago, but his cousin was killed.

Investigators said Rondo was targeted because he was suspected of involvement in the death of the up-and-coming rapper from Chicago King Von in 2020 in Atlanta.

Banks was sued earlier this month in the fatal shooting of FBG Duck outside a Gold Coast store in 2020.
