Lil Durk was arrested on a murder-for-hire charge in Florida, hours after alleged associates were accused of a shooting aimed at rapper Quando Rando.
was arrested late Thursday in Florida on a federal murder-for-hire charge, hours after several of his alleged associates were indicted on similar charges over their alleged involvement in a shooting aimed at rapper Quando Rando.
Durk’s arrest came hours after Los Angeles federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment against several alleged members of Durk’s Only the Family hip-hop group. The five men — Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston — are charged with murder-for-hire and murder-for-hire conspiracy.
“After the murder, 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,” prosecutors write, using Rondo and Von’s initials.King Von, a rising rapper in Chicago’s drill scene and a childhood friend of Durk, was shot and killed outside an Atlanta nightclub on Nov. 6, 2020, after an argument between two groups turned into a fight in the parking lot.
According Thursday’s indictment, that killing was allegedly carried out by OTF members Grant, Wilson and Houston, as well as by Jones and Lindsey, who prosecutors say were “members of other gangs in Chicago.” They allege the group “used two vehicles to track, stalk, and attempt to kill T.B. by gunfire — including with a fully automatic firearm — resulting in the death of S.R.”
