Overview

• Lil Durk’s lawyers filed a motion to dismiss or compel a bill of particulars, arguing the murder‑for‑hire indictment is too vague to prepare a defense.
• Federal prosecutors asked the court to empanel an anonymous jury, seeking to keep jurors’ identifying details secret because of safety risks and anticipated publicity.
• An FBI report filed with the jury request recounts threatening messages to a magistrate judge and a prosecutor; investigators say they found no direct link to the defendants.
• Prosecutors say Bureau of Prisons staff seized a cellular‑capable Apple Watch from Durk in August 2025 and allege he tried to destroy it, raising concerns about unmonitored communications.
• A pretrial hearing on the defense motion is set for Nov. 18, 2025, with trial scheduled for January 2026; Durk has pleaded not guilty and remains in federal custody.
