Lil Durk acquitted in Los Angeles murder-for-hire plot
–
Neutral summary
A federal jury in Los Angeles on Friday, Sept. 11, acquitted Grammy-winning Chicago rapper Lil Durk of all charges in a murder-for-hire plot targeting rival rapper Quando Rondo. The rapper, arrested in 2024, faced charges including conspiracy, stalking resulting in death and murder for hire. The case stemmed from an August 2022 shooting at a Los Angeles gas station in which three men opened fire on Quando Rondo's car; the rapper survived, but his 24-year-old cousin Saviay'a Robinson was killed. The jury deliberated for three days, and supporters including Machine Gun Kelly and Ye (formerly Kanye West) attended the trial.
