Tue Apr 22 10:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Lil Durk Fights Attempted Murder Charges in Connection with Quando Rondo Shooting
**Los Angeles, CA** – Rapper Lil Durk (Durk Banks) is seeking dismissal of federal charges related to the attempted murder of rapper Quando Rondo in Los Angeles. The charges stem from a 2022 incident at a gas station that left Rondo’s cousin dead. Durk is accused of orchestrating the attack as part of a larger conspiracy involving members of his Only the Family (OTF) collective.
The indictment alleges Durk, as the leader of OTF, ordered the attack on Rondo, with whom he had a long-standing feud, possibly linked to the death of another rapper, King Von. Prosecutors claim the attack involved multiple OTF members tracking and ambushing Rondo.
Durk’s legal team contends that the prosecution improperly used lyrics from a song recorded seven months *before* the shooting to connect him to the crime. They also deny any involvement with a later modified version of the song posted online. The defense argues that this constitutes misleading evidence presented to the grand jury.
If convicted on the charges, which include murder-for-hire and conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death, Durk faces significant prison time. The case is currently ongoing.
