Lil Durk Faces New Felony Charges in Murder-for-Hire Plot

The rapper is accused of orchestrating a 2022 assassination attempt that left a rival's cousin dead, now facing life in prison.

  • Lil Durk, born Durk Banks, has been charged with conspiracy and using interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death.
  • The charges stem from an August 2022 incident where Quando Rondo's cousin, Saviay’a Robinson, was killed in a shooting in Los Angeles.
  • Prosecutors allege the plot was a revenge attempt for the 2020 murder of King Von, a close associate of Lil Durk.
  • Durk was arrested last month in Miami while allegedly attempting to flee to Italy and remains in custody without bond.
  • Five other members of Durk's Only The Family collective have also been charged and are awaiting arraignment in Los Angeles.
