Rapper ‘Lil Durk’ and four others have been arrested in Florida for a murder-for-hire plot against Savannah rapper Quando Rondo.
Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, is accused of suspected involvement in the death of rapper King Von, who was shot and killed in Atlanta in 2020 while with Quando Rondo.
Quando Rondo, born Tyquian Bowman, was also in a Cadillac Escalade in West Hollywood with his cousin Saviay’a Robinson in 2022 when Robinson was shot and killed. There is no connection to this and the Banks case.
Banks, a Chicago-born artist, was arrested on Thursday and is currently being held in a Broward County , Florida, jail, according to arrest records viewed by USA TODAY. The 32-year-old Grammy winner is awaiting transfer to U.S. Marshals.
Rondo was facing a pre-trial meeting on Wednesday involving a June 2023 reckless driving/under the influence incident in Savannah.
He will also be sentenced on Dec. 12 after pleading guilty to charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribution of controlled substances.
