BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. — Chicago rapper Lil Durk has been arrested by U.S. Marshals in Florida on Thursday night.
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 murder-for-hire.
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 in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on Thursday, charged Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey, and Asa Houston.
Federal charges filed against 5 accused in murder-for-hire shooting in retaliation for killing of rapper King Von
Those named in the indictment are facing charges including conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, committing murder-for-hire resulting in death, as well as the use of, carry and discharge of firearms and a machinegun in the furtherance of 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 being involved in the death of emerging Chicago rapper 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.
