Rapper Lil Durk was arrested for murder-for-hire against Quando Rondo

Rapper Lil Durk has been charged with murder-for-hire against fellow musician Quando Rondo, who was allegedly involved in the assassination of King Von in 2020.

According to jail records, the 32-year-old – real name Durk Devontay Banks – was arrested Thursday evening and is being held without bail at the Broward County Jail in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Hours before his arrest, five men alleged to have ties to Durk's hip-hop group Only the Family (OTF) were indicted in Los Angeles on federal charges relating to the same conspiracy to murder Rondo, whose real name is Tyquian Terrel Bowman is.

According to TMZ, Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston were charged with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire; contract killing resulting in death; and carrying and discharging firearms and a machine gun in furtherance of a crime of violence resulting in death.

In the indictment, officials allege the five men planned to kill Rondo in August 2022 as revenge for King Von's death.

Von, who was 26 years old at the time, was shot by Quando's associate Lul Timm.

Prosecutors allege that the five men allegedly used a credit card linked to OTF to purchase plane tickets to Los Angeles in August 2022 to hunt Rondo.

Once in California, Grant allegedly booked a hotel room for the men and provided them with firearms. He also allegedly rented them cars to follow Rondo and his cousin Saviay'a Robinson.

While Rondon and Robinson stopped to get gas, Houston allegedly parked in a nearby alley before Jones, Lindsey and a third unknown man shot at them.

Rondo, 25, was not injured, but his cousin was fatally shot. He was 24.

After the shooting ended, the five men met at a restaurant to discuss payment before the same credit card was used to book flights back to Chicago.

Durk is not named as a defendant in the indictment against the five men. He has also previously denied claims that OTF is a gang.

This isn't the first time Lil Durk has been charged in connection with a shooting.

In 2019, he was charged with a felony for his alleged connection to a February shooting.

In May of that year, he turned himself in to police and was charged with attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and gang activity.
