Lil Durk was arrested for murder for hire

The Chicago-born artist, née Durk Banks, was arrested Thursday and is currently being held in a Broward County, Florida, jail, according to arrest records viewed by USA TODAY. The 32-year-old Grammy winner is awaiting transfer to the US Marshals.

Further details about his arrest have yet to be released, but the arrest comes after five people were arrested in Chicago on murder-for-hire charges for allegedly targeting Georgia rapper Quando Rondo in retaliation for the murder of Chicago rapper King Von, according to WGN Chicago and the Chicago Sun-Times.

USA TODAY has reached out to Banks' representative for comment.

Prosecutors allege that all five people – named Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston – have ties to Banks' hip-hop group Only The Family, according to Chicago affiliates cite unsealed indictment.

King Von, born Dayvon Bennett, was a member of the hip hop collective and a friend and frequent collaborator of Banks, including on the track “Crazy Story,” and Banks was on Bennett's debut studio album, “Welcome to O'Block.” ” listen .”
