Lil Durk is currently being held without bond at the Broward County Jail. He faces a single count of murder-for-hire, according to court records, and is expected to be transferred into U.S. Marshal’s custody to await federal proceedings. The charges stem from the August 2022 murder of Quando Rondo’s cousin Saviay’a Robinson.

Robinson was fatally shot at a West Hollywood gas station. Prosecutors allege Lil Durk offered money and “lucrative music opportunities” to anyone willing to kill Quando Rondo. They also insist they have evidence to prove the killing was a retaliatory move to avenge King Von’s murder.

In addition to Lil Durk’s arrest, five Only The Family (OTF) associates were taken into custody in his hometown of Chicago on charges related to the case. The individuals—identified as Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston—face a range of federal charges, including conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, murder-for-hire involving death and use of a machine gun in a violent crime resulting in death.

Lil Durk was awarded the Key to the City of Chicago just two days prior to his arrest. This is a developing story.
