Rapper Lil Durk was arrested in Broward County, Florida, and is currently being held without bond on a pending murder-for-hire charge.
According to records from the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the Chicago rapper — real name Durk Devontay Banks — is being held in Broward County jail on behalf of the U.S. Marshals Office.
Durk’s arrest in Florida comes after five other Chicago natives were arrested and charged with murder-for-hire and murder-for-hire conspiracy, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The charges are connected to the 2022 murder of Quando Rondo’s cousin, Lul Pab, in Los Angeles.
All of the suspects have ties to Durk’s hip-hop group OTF (Only the Family).
Durk previously faced several charges related to a 2019 shooting, but those were dropped in 2022.
Along with attempted murder, the rapper was facing counts of aggravated assault, participation in criminal street gang activity, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
