Lil Durk, the well-known Chicago rapper and member of the hip-hop group OTF, has recently been arrested in South Florida and charged with murder-for-hire. This shocking news has left fans and the music industry in shock, as the 32-year-old artist, whose real name is Durk Banks, has been making waves in the music industry with his solo discography and collaborations.
According to reports, Durk is currently being held without bond in Broward County Jail. This arrest comes after five other rappers from Chicago, namely Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey, and Asa Houston, were also arrested for their alleged links to OTF. It seems like a federal investigation has linked Durk with a conspiracy charge regarding a murder-for-hire scheme, involving rapper Quando Rondo who is suspected of being involved in the murder of emerging rapper King Von in Atlanta back in 2020.
The indictment, which was unsealed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on Thursday, states that two years after King Von's tragic death, alleged members of the group offered money and music opportunities in exchange for the murder of Timothy Bowman, also known as Lul Tim, who is believed to have been involved in King Von's murder. The paperwork also claims that a credit card was used to fly the defendants out to Los Angeles in 2022 to search for Bowman.
A timeline of events shows that King Von was tragically murdered in Atlanta in November 2020. Then, on August 18, 2022, the defendants flew out to California in search of Bowman. The next day, a shooting took place at a gas station on Beverly Boulevard, leaving a man named Robinson fatally wounded. The defendants were then flown back to Chicago. Two years later, in October 2024, the indictment charging Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey, and Asa Houston was unsealed. Hours later, Lil Durk was arrested in South Florida.
According to prosecutors, Grant flew to Los Angeles to provide his co-conspirators with guns before renting a white BMW sedan and a white Infiniti, which were used to follow Bowman and his family. The shooting at the gas station on Beverly Boulevard resulted in Robinson's death. An unnamed co-conspirator then paid for the defendants to be flown back to Chicago. Currently, Lil Durk is awaiting transfer of custody to U.S. Marshals, indicating that the federal authorities will be taking over the case.
