Lil Durk Moves to Toss Federal Murder-for-Hire Case, Citing Vague Indictment

The court will review the motion on Nov. 18 ahead of a trial set for January 2026.

Overview

  • Defense attorneys say prosecutors have withheld key details and ask the judge to dismiss the case or order a bill of particulars.
  • Prosecutors allege Durk directed associates to target Quando Rondo in Los Angeles in 2022, where Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson was fatally shot at a gas station.
  • The indictment asserts Durk used coded messages and OTF-linked cash or music opportunities to recruit participants and arranged vehicles, weapons, and ski masks.
  • Durk remains in federal custody following his Oct. 17, 2024 arrest near Miami International Airport.
  • A hearing is set for 10 a.m. on Nov. 18 before U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald in Los Angeles, with prosecutors also preparing witness testimony tied to a reported claim that Durk ordered hits on O’Block members.
