Chicago rapper Lil Durk, born Durk Banks, has been arrested in Broward County, Florida, by U.S. Marshals on a murder-for-hire charge tied to a 2022 homicide, Rolling Stone reports.
He is currently held without bail. Prior to Durk’s arrest, five members of his OTF crew—Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey, and Asa Houston—were also arrested in Los Angeles on similar charges, according to the Chicago Tribune.
These charges are linked to the 2022 killing of Lul Pab, Quando Rondo’s cousin, at a West Hollywood gas station. Prosecutors allege that the intended target was Rondo, born Tyquian Terrel Bowman, as retaliation for his suspected role in the 2020 murder of King Von, an associate of Lil Durk, in Atlanta.
The arrest casts doubt on the release of Durk’s forthcoming album, Deep Thoughts, originally postponed to November 22. Recently, Durk had celebrated his record being cleared, tweeting, “I ain’t a felon anymore… Who would have thought?
