Lil Durk has been identified by federal authorities as the principal architect behind a conspiracy related to a murder-for-hire scheme aimed at Quando Rondo, resulting in the death of his cousin… and he might have been trying to escape the country at the time of his apprehension!!!
TMZ Hip Hop has acquired the federal complaint against Durk, which charges him with conspiracy related to the purported murder-for-hire operation.
This complaint follows the prior indictment of five alleged members of his Only The Family gang, who authorities assert were present during the shooting incident of Saviay’a Robinson, also known as Luh Pab, in August 2022.

The complaint outlines that the OTF members acted under Durk’s directive, as prosecutors allege he sought retribution for King Von‘s shooting demise in October 2020, following a confrontation with Quando’s group in Atlanta.
According to the legal documents, Durk was responsible for placing the hit on Quando and facilitated others in obtaining ski masks, rental vehicles, and lodging for the execution of the contract killing.
The authorities assert that telecommunications data reveals a phone number linked to Durk was attempting to obscure his activities when he messaged one of the co-defendants, “Don’t reserve any flights under names associated with [sic] me.” Authorities allege he is connected via credit cards to the flights.
The purported OTF associates are charged with discharging a minimum of 18 rounds at Quando’s automobile under Durk’s direction at a Los Angeles fueling station … and security footage seemingly captured the entire incident in broad daylight.
The authorities descended upon and detained Durk on Thursday night … apprehending him at the Miami airport right before he could depart for Italy. As per the documents, the FBI became aware that Durk had secured a private flight to Italy scheduled for later that night — and he was taken into custody just an hour prior to the planned departure.
The repercussions have been rapid … Durk had one of the Chicago-area honors he was granted last week yanked away on Friday.
