Grammy-winning rapper Lil Durk was found not guilty in a murder-for-hire plot that targeted rival rapper Quando Rondo and killed another man in an alleged revenge attack for the death of a close friend.

Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, was acquitted Friday on charges of conspiracy, stalking resulting in death and murder for hire following three days of deliberation by a federal jury in Los Angeles.

The trial was attended by a throng of Durk supporters at the downtown LA federal courthouse, including artists Machine Gun Kelly and Kanye West.

Rapper Lil Durk was acquitted in a murder-for-hire plot after a shooting that targeted a rival rapper in Los Angeles.

 

The 33-year-old Chicago native was accused of paying for a group of men to fly out to Los Angeles in August 2022 and follow Rondo and his entourage before three gunmen opened fire on the rapper’s Cadillac Escalade outside a gas station near the Beverly Center shopping mall.
