(Gray News) – Chicago rapper Lil Durk was arrested and jailed in Florida on federal charges Thursday night, according to media reports.
Also known as Durk Derrick Banks, he is being held in Broward County jail pending murder-for-hire charges, according to NBC South Florida.
Members of his group, Only the Family, were also indicted Thursday in Los Angeles on federal charges in a plot to kill rapper Quando Rondo, WGN reported. Rondo survived the 2022 shooting, but his cousin was killed.
It‘s unclear if Lil Durk’s arrest is connected to the same case, WPLG reported.
Authorities believe Rondo was targeted in retaliation for the killing of another rapper, King Von, in Atlanta in 2020.
