Lil Durk, 32, held in Broward County Jail

On Thursday, U.S. Marshals arrested Chicago rapper Lil Durk in Florida on a murder-for-hire charge, according to Broward County booking records. Lil Durk, whose legal name is Durk Devontay Banks, was booked into the Broward County jail, where he is currently held without bail.

Federal indictment ties arrest to hip-hop collective “Only the Family”

The arrest of the 32-year-old artist follows the federal indictment of five individuals associated with Lil Durk’s hip-hop collective, “Only the Family” (OTF), in California. These individuals face charges related to a murder-for-hire operation allegedly carried out in retaliation for the death of a fellow OTF member.

Among those indicted are three alleged OTF members: Kavon London Grant (known as “Cuz” or “Vonnie”), Deandre Dontrell Wilson (“DeDe”), and Asa Houston (“Boogie”). The grand jury charged them with their alleged involvement in a revenge killing, as per court documents filed on October 17 and unsealed Thursday.

Two other men, identified as Keith Jones (aka “Flacka”) and David Brian Lindsey (aka “Browneyez”), allegedly connected to Chicago-based gangs, were also named in the indictment. As of Friday, none of the five indicted individuals were available for comment.

Alleged 2020 altercation leads to ongoing violence

According to the charging documents, the alleged murder-for-hire plot traces back to a November 6, 2020 incident in Atlanta, where a high-ranking OTF member identified as “D.B.” was involved in a physical altercation with another individual, “T.B.” During this altercation, a person associated with T.B. allegedly shot D.B. multiple times, resulting in his death.

Though the victim was unnamed in court filings, NBC News reported the November 2020 death of Dayvon Daquan Bennett, known as King Von—a close associate of Lil Durk—who was also part of OTF.

The indictment indicates that after D.B.’s death, an unnamed “Co-Conspirator 1” conveyed a willingness to pay a bounty to those responsible for killing T.B. in retribution.

Court filings reveal that on August 18, 2022, members of the conspiracy tracked T.B. to a Los Angeles hotel. Soon after, Wilson, Jones, Lindsey, and Houston, along with a second unnamed co-conspirator, allegedly traveled to Los Angeles from Chicago. Grant reportedly arrived separately via private jet from Florida.

On August 19, Grant, Wilson, Jones, Lindsey, Houston, and Co-Conspirator 2 reportedly pursued T.B. and his associates, tracking their black Escalade to a gas station on Beverly Boulevard. In an attempted ambush, multiple shots were allegedly fired at T.B., resulting in the death of S.R., a passenger in the vehicle.

Federal charges and implications of interstate activity

The indictment details an extensive operation in which conspirators utilized “interstate and foreign commerce” resources—including planes, vehicles, cell phones, and internet communications—in their alleged plan to murder for hire. Grant is accused of supplying vehicles, ski masks, and firearms used in the attempted attack on T.B.

The five indicted individuals face multiple federal charges, including conspiracy, use of interstate facilities to commit murder for hire resulting in death, and possession of firearms, including a machine gun, in furtherance of a crime of violence. The indictment also seeks criminal forfeiture related to the alleged offenses.

Legal representation and next steps

It is currently unclear whether the five men have retained attorneys. The investigation continues, with authorities examining the broader implications of interstate and gang-related criminal activities potentially impacting the hip-hop community.
