Lil Durk’s Federal Murder-for-Hire Trial Set for April 21, 2026

The date follows a continuance in a case the judge labeled unusually complex under the Speedy Trial Act.

Overview

  • A federal judge moved the start from January 20 after defendants sought more time, opting for April 21 instead of the May 4 date they proposed.
  • The court pointed to the case’s unusual complexity and multiple defendants, finding standard Speedy Trial timelines unrealistic.
  • Pretrial scheduling remains fluid, with a docket update listing March 30 for the conference and other reports noting April 13.
  • Durk has been in custody since his October 2024 arrest on charges tied to a 2022 Los Angeles shooting that killed Saviay’a Robinson and allegedly targeted Quando Rondo in retaliation for King Von’s death.
  • Defense filings say he has spent months in solitary confinement with no commissary and one monthly phone call after an Apple Watch incident, and they have requested a status hearing on his treatment.
