Rapper Lil Durk charged with murder-for-hire

Grammy-winning rapper Lil Durk has been charged with murder-for-hire against rapper Quando Rondo for his alleged involvement in the 2020 murder of aspiring musician King Von in Atlanta.

The “All My Life” hitmaker, whose real name is Durk Derrick Banks, is currently being held without bail at the Broward County Jail in Florida.

Federal charges have been filed against Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston, according to the indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles and obtained by TMZ.

Prosecutors allege that all five men named in the indictment have ties to the rap group Only the Family (OTF), founded by Lil Durk in 2010.

Although the 32-year-old Chicago native is not named as a defendant, he has vehemently denied claims that OTF is a gang.

Officials allege the men organized the August 2022 shooting in Los Angeles, California, in direct retaliation for the 2020 death of aspiring rapper King Von.

Von was fatally shot by Quando's partner Lul Timm after a heated argument.

According to the indictment, officers allege that the men used an OTF-associated credit card to purchase airline tickets to Los Angeles in August 2022. The aim of the trip is said to have been to search for Quando Rondo.

Once there, Grant allegedly booked a hotel room for the men and provided them with firearms, prosecutors said.

Grant also allegedly rented two cars that the men used to pursue Rondo and his 24-year-old cousin, Saviay'a Robinson.

After the couple stopped for gas, Houston allegedly drove into a nearby alley before Jones, Lindsey and a third unidentified man carried out the shooting.

Rondo was not injured in the shooting, but Robinson was fatally wounded.

After the shooting, the defendants went to a nearby bar to talk about payment, the indictment continues.

That same day, the credit card was used to purchase airline tickets for Wilson, Jones, Lindsey and Houston to return to Chicago.

Prosecutors said that on the same day as the shooting, an unnamed co-conspirator used an OTF-associated credit card to purchase plane tickets for Wilson, Jones, Lindsey and Houston to return to Chicago.

According to TMZ, Jones and Houston are scheduled to have hearings in Chicago on Monday. Grant, Wilson and Lindsey have waived their right to a hearing and are being sent to Los Angeles instead.

The Post has reached out to Lil Durk's representatives for comment.

This isn't Lil Durk's first run-in with the law.

He was previously charged with five felonies for his alleged connection to a February 2019 shooting.

After turning himself in to police in May 2019, he was charged with attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and gang activity.

The artist was part of XXL Magazine's 2014 “Freshman Class” along with Chance the Rapper and Rich Homie Quan.

Earlier this year, Lil Durk became a Grammy-winning rapper for his hit song “All My Life.” He had previously received four nominations.
