Rapper Lil Durk has been arrested for alleged murder plots

(Gray News) – Chicago rapper Lil Durk was arrested and jailed on federal charges in Florida on Thursday evening, according to media reports.

He is also known as Durk Derrick Banks and is being held in the Broward County Jail facing a murder charge, according to NBC South Florida.

Members of his group Only the Family were also indicted Thursday in Los Angeles on federal charges related to a conspiracy to murder rapper Quando Rondo, WGN reported. Rondo survived the 2022 shooting, but his cousin was killed.

It's unclear if Lil Durk's arrest is related to the same case, WPLG reported.

Authorities believe Rondo was targeted in retaliation for the 2020 killing of another rapper, King Von, in Atlanta.
