Grammy award-winning rapper Lil Durk was arrested Thursday by U.S. marshals in Florida on charges of conspiring to kill a rival artist in a murder-for-hire plot, authorities said.

The 32-year-old rapper, whose legal name is Durk Devontay Banks, was arrested near the Miami airport and booked into the Broward County Jail, where he is being held without bail, according to federal officials.

Banks is accused of ordering the killing of Tyquian Bowman, a Georgia rapper named Quando Rondo, whose cousin was killed in a botched ambush near the Beverly Center mall in Los Angeles in 2022.

In an affidavit filed in federal court, FBI Special Agent Sarah Corcoran alleged that Banks placed a bounty on Bowman after an associate of Bowman killed a rapper associated with Banks’ music group.

Dayvon Bennett, a Chicago artist who performed as King Von, was shot outside an Atlanta nightclub in 2020. Bennett was a close friend of Banks and affiliated with his music group Only The Family. Corcoran described Only The Family, or OTF, as a “hybrid organization” that blurred the lines between a music collective and a gang.

Citing unnamed witnesses and “open-source reporting,” Corcoran claimed that Banks placed a “monetary bounty” on Bowman’s head.

On August 18, 2022 – a year and a half after Bennett was killed – OTF members learned that Bowman was staying at a hotel in Los Angeles, Corcoran wrote. Five men booked a one-way flight from Chicago to San Diego. According to Corcoran, someone using Banks’ iCloud account wrote in a text message to the person who bought the tickets: “Do not book flights without a name associated with me.”

Banks flew from Miami to Los Angeles on a private jet with a man named Kavon Grant, Corcoran wrote. Grant used Banks’ credit card to book a room at the Sheraton Universal Hotel, where the five-man hit team stayed the night before tracking down Bowman, according to the agent’s statement. Banks was staying in a rented house in Encino.

According to an indictment, Grant purchased ski masks at a sporting goods store and distributed weapons to the hit team, including a pistol modified for automatic fire. He also allegedly supplied them with a rented BMW sedan and an Infiniti sedan with fake license plates.

Traveling in both cars, the hit team followed Bowman to a hotel in downtown Los Angeles the next day, the indictment said. Bowman left in a black Cadillac Escalade with his cousin, Saviay’a Robinson. The two cars drove the Escalade to a marijuana dispensary and then to a clothing store on Melrose Avenue.

After Bowman drove into a gas station near the Beverly Center, three armed men wearing ski masks got out of the Infiniti. Robinson, who was standing outside the Escalade, was shot and killed. Bowman survived.

A few hours later, the five-member hit team was on a flight back to Chicago, Corcoran wrote in her affidavit.

Officers arrested the alleged gunmen in Chicago and raided their homes on Thursday. The FBI then received an alert from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol that Banks had booked some flights to Dubai and Switzerland that were leaving that evening, Corcoran wrote. He was also listed as a passenger on a private plane bound for Italy.

In an indictment unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, OTF members Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston were charged in the plot.
