Rapper Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Devontay Banks, is facing a charge of murder for hire after being arrested in Miami, Florida, on Thursday, October 24th. Five members of his hip hop collective, “Only the Family,” were also arrested in Los Angeles, CA, on a federal indictment. They were accused of murdering for hire as revenge for the death of another group member. While this might seem like a cut-and-dry case, Lil Durk and OTF’s story has many layers and sides to discuss. Does this charge connect to the death of Dayvon Daquan (King Von) in 2020 and what happened between then and now?
A Collective Conspiracy
Although rapper Lil Durk was in Florida at the time of his arrest, the murder-for-hire plans took place in California. Since the death of King Von in Atlanta, GA, in 2020, there have been speculations that his death was connected to rapper Quando Rondo, whose real name is Tyquian Terrel Bowman. Since then, the OTF collective has allegedly been planning retaliation against Bowman. It’s been reported that the five men who were hired for murder were targeting Bowman but instead murdered his cousin, Saviay’a Robinson, also known as Lul Pab. The two men were both inside a vehicle at the time of the murder, and Robinson was shot.
Under federal martial, Lil Durk was taken into custody at the Broward County Jail in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Reporters say he will be held there until federal authorities move all of the suspects to one area, likely California. Five men who were involved in the murder-for-hire charge, Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey, and Asa Houston, were allegedly paid by Lil Durk to travel from Chicago to Los Angeles to carry out the act. Reportedly, Grant used a credit card in Lil Durk’s name to purchase ski masks for the murder, as well as a hotel room for all of the conspirators. All five men were arrested after returning to their homes in Chicago, IL.
Charges and Allegations
While Lil Durk was charged with murder-for-hire, the men who were directly involved in the murder had several much more severe charges. All five defendants have been charged with one count of conspiracy, one count of use of interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death, and one count of carrying and discharging firearms in furtherance with carrying out a violent crime resulting in death. Jones additionally faces one count of possession of a machine gun. In Northern Illinois on Thursday, the men made their initial appearances and are expected to be relocated to Los Angeles for arraignment proceedings.
While this case is only in its beginning stages, Lil Durk and the five suspects in the crime could face severe repercussions if found guilty. Regardless of the separate indictments, the consequences for these crimes are strict. If convicted, the maximum punishment for the charges the men face is life in federal prison. This is shocking to Lil Durk’s fans, as he presents himself as an altruist and successful musician. The impact of this indictment could seriously damage his career and future musical works, at the least. If found guilty, we may never hear new music from him again.
In Conclusion
Lil Durk and the five defendants, in this case, are facing severe charges regarding the death of SSaviay’aRobinson in Los Angeles, CA. Leading up to this tragic series of events, the rapper was well-respected in his community, leaving fans speechless at his possible involvement and murder-for-hire charges. He previously founded a charity called Neighborhood Heroes that focuses on providing aid to under-resourced neighborhoods across the United States. No one expected the rapper to be involved in this kind of crime. That is the full story for now, but keep up with us for updates as this case unfolds.
