Lil Durk, the Grammy-winning Chicago rapper, has been acquitted of all charges in a high-profile federal murder-for-hire trial in Los Angeles. The jury found him not guilty of orchestrating a plot to kill rival rapper Quando Rondo, as well as related charges of conspiracy and stalking that resulted in death.

The case centred on allegations that Durk Banks ordered a hit on Quando Rondo in retaliation for the 2020 death of King Von, a fellow artist he was closely connected to. A 2022 shooting attributed to the alleged plot resulted in the death of Saviay'a Robinson, Quando Rondo's cousin, though prosecutors argued the intended target was Quando Rondo himself.
