Lil Durk remained in custody after a federal jury in downtown Los Angeles acquitted him on Friday, 11 September 2026, of all five charges in his murder-for-hire trial. Two co-defendants were convicted of stalking offences but cleared of murder for hire.
For context, prosecutors alleged that the Chicago rapper, whose given name is Durk Banks, arranged for hitmen to kill rapper Quando Rondo, born Tyquian Bowman. Bowman survived the attack near the Beverly Center in 2022. His cousin, Saviay'a Robinson, 24, was fatally shot.
