Rapper Lil Durk Arrested in Murder-for-Hire Plot Following Indictments of 5 Linked to Quando Rondo’s Cousin’s Death

Rapper Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, was arrested and is facing a federal charge for an alleged murder-for-hire plot connected to the death of Lul Pab, a cousin of Quando Rondo. This development comes after federal prosecutors in California indicted five individuals believed to be members of Lil Durk’s Only the Family (OTF) crew. The charges claim these men arranged to travel across state lines to carry out the alleged attack against Quando Rondo’s circle in 2022.

According to reports, Lil Durk was arrested by U.S. Marshals on Thursday and is currently being held in the Broward County Correctional Facility in Florida. Police records show the 32-year-old rapper is being detained without the option of bail and awaits extradition to California to face federal charges. His mugshot has been released.

The indictment points to a well-coordinated plan involving alleged OTF affiliates who reportedly placed a bounty on Quando Rondo, instead his cousin Lul Pab was killed.. Allegedly, members of OTF used a credit card linked to the record label to purchase plane tickets, enabling them to travel from Chicago to California after learning Quando Rondo’s location.

DJ Akademiks quickly took to social media to break the news, posting Lil Durk’s mugshot alongside a tweet captioned: “Breaking: Lil Durk has been arrested by U.S. Marshals and held in Broward County Correctional Facility until he’s extradited to California for his Federal Charge. His Charge is ‘MURDER FOR HIRE’ for the death of Quando Rondo’s cousin, ‘Lul Pab.'”

The five men named in the federal indictment are accused of carrying out the shooting as part of a larger scheme involving alleged OTF gang activity. Those charged include Kavon London Grant (aka “Vonnie”), Deandre Dontrell Wilson (aka “DeDe”), Keith Jones (aka “Flacka”), David Brian Lindsey (aka “Browneyez”), and Asa Houston (aka “Boogie”). The indictment suggests these men intended to retaliate against Quando Rondo, whom they reportedly believed to be connected to the tragic death of rapper King Von in 2020.

The case has deeper roots in a longstanding conflict. The altercation between Quando Rondo’s crew and King Von in 2020 ended with Von’s tragic death in Atlanta, fueling a wave of tension between Rondo’s camp and Von’s OTF associates. This newly revealed murder-for-hire plot is believed to be a continuation of the retaliation following Von’s death.

For now, Lil Durk remains behind bars as he awaits his federal hearing in California. As one of hip-hop’s most prominent figures, the charges and ongoing developments have sent shockwaves through the music industry and among fans worldwide.
