Chicago Rapper Lil Durk Acquitted in Los Angeles Murder-for-Hire Plot
Jurors rejected prosecutors’ claim that he arranged the 2022 shooting after hearing testimony from three cooperating witnesses and watching video evidence.
- On Friday, Sept. 11, 2026, a federal jury in Los Angeles acquitted Grammy-winning rapper Lil Durk, born Durk Banks, of all charges in his murder-for-hire trial after a two-week proceeding.
- Prosecutors alleged the August 2022 shooting targeted rival Quando Rondo, born Tyquian Bowman, as retaliation for King Von's 2020 killing; Bowman survived but his cousin Saviaya Robinson died.
- Defense lawyer Drew Findling called the government's three cooperating witnesses "fraudster" and "master of deception," arguing they testified to avoid "life" sentences rather than tell the truth.
- Jurors convicted co-defendants Deandre Wilson and David Lindsey of stalking and conspiracy charges but acquitted them of murder-for-hire counts, splitting the verdict across the defendants.
- Despite this acquittal, Durk faces a second upcoming federal trial focused on separate racketeering charges, leaving his broader legal troubles unresolved.
