Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, was recently arrested for his alleged role in a murder-for-hire scheme. Inmate records obtained by AllHipHop confirm that the Chicago drill artist has been extradited to the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Los Angeles. Authorities arrested Durk last month on accusations tied to a plot to kill rival rapper Quando Rondo, a figure associated with the 2020 murder of Durk’s friend, King Von.
According to court documents, Lil Durk reportedly attempted to flee the U.S. He booked several international flights shortly after five associates connected to his Only the Family (OTF) label were taken into custody. The individuals named in the indictment are Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey, and Asa Houston. Law enforcement officials detained the 32-year-old rapper upon his arrival at an airport near Miami. Before his arrest, Durk had reportedly booked flights to Dubai and Switzerland, with a private jet to Italy also lined up.
In an updated indictment, Lil Durk, who was extradited to Los Angeles, now faces additional felony charges. These include conspiracy, using interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire, and multiple firearm-related offenses. U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada stated, “Mr. Banks is charged with orchestrating a cold-blooded murder that resulted in the death of a rival’s family member. Not only that, the shooting occurred in the open, at a gas station at a busy intersection, endangering many others in the area.”
Prosecutors allege that Lil Durk and his co-defendants organized the attack on Quando Rondo. The shooting took place at a gas station in Los Angeles. The attackers fired 18 rounds at Rondo’s vehicle, killing his cousin, Lul Pab. Investigators believe this was a retaliation for King Von’s death. Lil Durk and his co-defendants are awaiting their court appearances, and no pleas have been entered yet.
