Lil Durk, born Durk Banks, was arrested on Thursday and is currently being held at the Broward County Correctional Facility in Florida. According to police records, he awaits extradition to California to face federal charges. The 32-year-old rapper, pictured in a recently released mugshot, appears in a yellow T-shirt against a gray background. He is being detained without bail.
The charges against Lil Durk follow the tragic 2022 shooting of Lul Pab, a close friend of rapper Quando Rondo. On August 19, 2022, Lul Pab and Quando Rondo were ambushed at a gas station in Los Angeles. Lul Pab was fatally wounded and pronounced dead at a local hospital. Reports indicate that the suspects fled the scene in a white sedan. This arrest comes after federal charges were also filed against five members of Lil Durk’s Only the Family (OTF) crew, believed to be targeting Rondo in the shooting.
Motive Linked To King Von’s Death
Authorities suspect the alleged murder-for-hire plot was in retaliation for the 2020 killing of King Von, an associate of Lil Durk. King Von, 26, lost his life in Atlanta, Georgia, following an altercation between his entourage and Quando Rondo’s team. The incident rapidly escalated into gunfire, resulting in King Von being critically wounded and subsequently passing away.
OTF Members Under Investigation
Federal indictments have also been issued against five OTF members: Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey, and Asa Houston. A court filing suggests that a high-ranking OTF member incentivized the attack on Rondo by offering financial rewards. The charges include conspiracy in a murder-for-hire plot and the use of a machine gun in an incident that led to death. If found guilty, these charges could result in the death penalty.
A Widening Feud In The Hip-Hop Industry
This arrest adds another layer to the ongoing feud between Quando Rondo and members of Lil Durk’s OTF crew, highlighting the troubling trend of violence within the music industry. As investigations continue, the case brings to light the serious legal repercussions and challenges faced by those involved.
