His mugshot appeared online Friday morning, pending the rapper's transfer to the US Marshals, reports XXLMag.

The news came just hours after five more people were arrested in connection with the 2022 murder of rapper Quando Rondo's 24-year-old cousin Saviay'a Robinson.

Federal charges were filed Thursday against Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston.

They are accused of targeting Rondo for his alleged involvement in the 2020 murder of rising Chicago rapper King Von in Atlanta, WGNTV reports.

The charges in the indictment, unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, include conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and commission of murder-for-hire resulting in death.

This also includes the use, carrying and firing of firearms and a machine gun to further a violent crime resulting in death.

Quando Rondo and his friend were in Los Angeles on August 19, 2022, when their vehicle was shot at at a gas station in the Beverly Grove district.

Rondo survived, but his cousin was struck and killed during the attack – presumably revenge for the death of Lil Durk's protégé King Von.

Von was shot by a member of Quando Rondo after a fight in November 2020.

Thursday's indictment alleges that two years later, the five suspects offered money and music in exchange for Bowman's murder.

A credit card was also reportedly used to fly the defendants out in 2022 to look for Bowman in LA, according to the documents.

Prosecutors said one of the suspects, Kavon London Grant, flew from Miami to L.A. to supply the co-conspirators with weapons before renting a white BMW sedan and white Infiniti that he used to pursue Bowman and his family , reports Metro.

The shooting that killed Saviay'a Robinson occurred shortly afterward.

Lil Durk is best known for her appearance on Drake's 2020 track “Laugh Now Cry Later.”

He has also collaborated with artists Pooh Shiesty, 21 Savage, DJ Khaled and Travis Scott.

Durk's ninth studio album, Deep Thoughts, is scheduled for release in November.
