Lil Durk has reportedly been hit with additional charges in connection to his ongoing murder-for-hire case.

According to recent reports, the rapper now faces one count of conspiracy, one count of using interstate facilities to commit a murder-for-hire that resulted in death, and one count related to the use, carrying, and discharge of firearms, including a machine gun, in furtherance of a violent crime that also resulted in death.

We previously reported that Lil Durk’s arrest resulted in the withdrawal of the key he received to the Illinois city of Village of Broadview, according to the mayor’s office. Mayor Katrina Thompson issued an official statement on the withdrawal on Friday morning (Oct. 25). 

“While the American system of justice grants everyone the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law, in the Village of Broadview, the court of public opinion of residents has even higher moral and ethical standards of behavior.”

Mayor Thompson continued: “And our public partners must also reflect the same uncompromising standards demanded by our residents. Given the news that Durk “Lil Durk” Banks has been arrested in Florida and charged with murder for hire, the Village of Broadview is withdrawing our honorary ‘key to the village’ granted to Durk and is terminating our partnership agreement with his youth organization, Neighborhood Heroes Foundation. As mayor, protecting Broadview’s interests and upholding the values of residents is job number one.”
