Lil Durk Hit with Two New Felony Charges in Shocking Murder-For-Hire Plot

Lil Durk faced two additional felony charges on Friday in connection with his alleged involvement in a murder-for-hire scheme. The Chicago rapper is accused of conspiracy and utilizing interstate facilities to aid in the killing of Quando Rondo's cousin. The new charges, outlined by federal authorities, effectively position Durk as the mastermind in a superseding federal grand jury indictment.

Neither Durk nor his five co-defendants have entered pleas as of yet. The charges stem from an August 2022 shooting near a Los Angeles gas station close to the Beverly Center shopping mall. Prosecutors allege that Durk financed a trip for his Only The Family gang affiliates to California, where they reportedly rented a hotel room and monitored Quando Rondo's vehicle before opening fire, resulting in the death of Saviay'a Robinson, Quando's cousin. The act is alleged to have been in retaliation for the death of OTF rapper King Von in 2020 following a clash with Quando Rondo’s crew in Atlanta.

Durk has been detained since October, and sources indicate the Department of Justice expects all six defendants to be arraigned in federal court in Los Angeles in the coming weeks.
