Lil Durk Arrested By Feds For Murder For Hire Plot, Held Without Bail

Lil Durk has been arrested for his alleged involvement in a murder-for-hire plot. After getting pinched in Florida, he is being held without bail.

TMZ reports that the Chicago rapper and several members of his Only The Family (OTF) crew were charged in the murder of rapper Quando Rondo’s cousin. On Thursday (Oct. 24) night, Durk was picked up by the feds and locked up at the Broward County Jail. Bail was not granted.

Per the Chicago Tribune, the members of OTF have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, committing murder-for-hire involving a death and use of a machine gun in a violent crime resulting in death.

The OTF members were arrested for their involvement in a shooting that occurred in August 2022 in Los Angeles that left Quando Rondo’s cousin dead. But the kicker is that the indictment claims that the flights and rental cars that five men were provided with were paid for with a credit card connected to Durk’s record label, Only The Family Records. On August 19, 2022, Quando Rondo and crew were at a gas station in Los Angeles when shots rang out. While Quando wasn’t injured, his cousin Saviay’a Robinson, 24, was fatally shot.

Per the Feds, the 2022 shooting was in retaliation to the murder of King Von in 2020. In November 2020, the up and coming Chicago rapper was shot and killed outside of hookah lounge in Atlanta after a reported skirmish with Quando Rondo’s entourage. Flash forward to August 2023, and Lul Timm, born Timothy Leeks, the shooter who reportedly killed Von, saw the felony murder charges against him dropped.

Since Von’s death, Durk had directed his ire at Quando Rondo, reportedly buying out all tickets to a show to spite the rapper. But murder for hire, allegedly, is a whole other level of spite. Rondo has always maintained the shooting was self-defense.
