Lil Durk Arrested in Connection With Murder-for-Hire Plot

Lil Durk has been arrested by the United States Marshals Service on charges associated with a murder-for-hire plot, USA Today reports. Further details have not yet been released. Representatives for Lil Durk did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Lil Durk’s arrest comes after federal prosecutors indicted five people allegedly associated with the rapper’s Only the Family (OTF) collective: Kavon London “Vonnie” Grant, DeAndre Dontrell “DeDe” Wilson, Keith “Flacka” Jones, David Brian “Browneyez” Lindsey, and Asa “Boogie” Houston.

According to prosecutors, the men conspired to commit murder-for-hire, resulting in the shooting death of Saviay’a Tilal “Lul Pab” Robinson, a cousin of the rapper Quando Rondo.

Federal prosecutors claim that the murder-for-hire conspiracy was a response to the November 2020 killing of King Von. Prosecutors, in the indictment, refer to King Von by his initials (“D.B.”) and call him “a high-ranking OTF member.”

A man named Timothy “Lul Timm” Leeks was charged with murdering King Von, and prosecutors allege that he was “an associate” of Quando Rondo, who was born Tyquian Terrel Bowman and is identified by his initials (“T.B.”) in the indictment. The charges against Lul Timm were dropped last year.

According to the indictment, someone identified only as “Co-Conspirator 1” “made clear, in coded language, that Co-Conspirator 1 would pay a bounty or monetary reward, and/or make payment to anyone who took part in killing T.B. for his role in D.B.’s murder.”

The five co-defendants, according to federal prosecutors, traveled to Los Angeles to try to kill Quando Rondo, resulting in his cousin’s death, in August 2022. Prosecutors allege that the men were expecting “money and lucrative music opportunities with OTF.”
