CHICAGO (WLS) — Prosecutors said they will not seek the death penalty in Lil Durk’s murder-for-hire case

Chicago rap star Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, is charged in connection with an attack that killed the cousin of a rival rapper.

Banks is alleged to be the head of a Chicago-based rap collective named Only the Family. This group is accused of committing acts of violence, such as murder and assault, upon Banks’ directives, as per a federal criminal complaint submitted last year in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

He is accused of placing a “monetary bounty out for an individual with whom Banks was feuding,” according to the complaint.

On August 19, 2022, several members of OTF are said to have used two cars in a coordinated effort to “track, stalk and attempt to kill T.B. at a gas station in Los Angeles,” according to the filed complaint.

These charges are linked to the attempted 2022 retaliation attack on rapper Quando Rondo at a Los Angeles gas station, which resulted in the death of Rondo’s cousin.

Banks is one of five co-conspirators charged in the incident, with crimes including murder, murder-for-hire and conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death, according to the complaint.

In April, Durk pushed to have his murder-for-hire case dismissed.

Durk’s lawyers said prosecutors misled the grand jury by alleging Durk bragged about the attack in a song.

They said that song was recorded seven months before the killing, and they add that Durk has no connection to a modified version later posted on YouTube.
