Lil Durk Was Trying to Escape His Country with a Private Jet Before He Was Arrested

Lil Durk He was trying to flee the country before his arrest on Thursday, October 24.

According to the indictment, the rapper booked at least three international flights after five people affiliated with Only Family (OTF) were arrested for murder-for-hire. The indictment indicates that law enforcement arrested the 32-year-old when he arrived at a Miami-area airport.

The FBI learned that Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey, and Asa Houston had booked international flights after being detained. Prosecutors allege these men all have ties to OTF, which Durk founded in 2010. Five men have been indicted on federal charges in Los Angeles for allegedly plotting to kill rapper Quando Rondo, who was involved in the 2020 murder of King Von.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection alerted the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that Lil Durk had booked two one-way flights to Dubai and Switzerland just hours before his capture. FBI officials later learned that Lil Durk had also booked a private plane to escape to Italy.

Lil Durk is facing a single count of murder-for-hire. The charge stems from the August 2022 murder of Saviay Robinson, the cousin of rapper Quando Rondo. Robinson was fatally shot at a gas station in West Hollywood, and authorities claimed Lil Durk offered money and “lucrative music opportunities” to anyone willing to kill Quando Rondo. However, instead of shooting the alleged target, they killed Robinson. Prosecutors presented evidence suggesting the plot was a retaliatory move to avenge King Von’s murder.

Lil Durk’s co-defendants face a number of federal charges, including conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, murder-for-hire resulting in death, and use of a machine gun in a violent crime resulting in death. If convicted, both Lil Durk and his OTF associates could face harsh penalties, including life imprisonment and potentially the death penalty. Durk will appear in court at a later date.
