Lil Durk was arrested by US Marshalls in Florida on “Murder For hire” charges stemming from retaliation plot following King Von’s murder.
In 2020 Chicago rapper King Von was murdered in Atlanta during an incident with rival Quando Rondo. Reportedly during a scuffle between the two Quando’s friend Lul Timm shot Von who would later die from his injuries. In August 2022 Quando was once again in the middle of gunfire shortly after he landed in Los Angeles.
Quando’s cousin was shot and killed during the incident which seemed like a targeted hit.
Yesterday TMZ reported California Federal prosecutors indicted 5 members associated with Lil Durk’s OTF family for the murder of Quando’s cousin. Lil Durk wasn’t listed in the indictment at the time of the press release. However, late last US Marshalls reportedly arrested Durk in Southern Florida XXL reports.
Arrest records show Durk will be extradited to Los Angeles to face “murder for hire” charges. California prosecutors allege Durk’s OTF gang placed a bounty on Quando following King Von’s murder. Prosecutors also allege the credit card used to book plane tickets from Chicago to California for the hit was associated with Durk’s OTF record label. Also, Lil Durk reportedly could face life in prison or the death penalty in California if found guilty.
