Lil Durk

Chicago rapper Lil Durk was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Florida on Thursday night.

According to jail records obtained by Chicago media outlet WGNTV, 32-year-old Lil Durk, whose birth name is Durk Banks, was booked into the Broward County Jail, pending charges of murder-for-hire.

Five members of Banks’ hip-hop group, Only the Family (OTF), were indicted on federal charges in Los Angeles in a plot to kill rapper Quando Rondo.

Those named in the indictment are facing charges including conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, committing murder-for-hire resulting in death, as well as the use of, carry and discharge of firearms and a machine gun in the furtherance of a crime of violence resulting in death.

Rondo survived a shooting in LA two years ago, but his cousin was killed.

Meanwhile in Broadview, Illinois, Mayor Katrina Thompson wasted no time in withdrawing the key to her community from Banks.

At a ceremony last week, Thompson as well as Bellwood, Illinois Mayor Andre Harvey were on hand as Banks was honored with the keys to both Bellwood and Broadview. A partnership with the rapper’s charity, Neighborhood Heroes Foundation, was announced in front of students from both communities.
