Rapper Lil Durk was arrested in Florida by U.S. Marshals on a charge of murder for hire. Five members of his hip hop collective, “Only the Family,” were also arrested in California for their alleged involvement in a murder for hire scheme. The incident stemmed from a nightclub altercation in Atlanta in which a high-ranking OTF member was killed. The collective then allegedly sought revenge for the death by targeting the person involved in the altercation, resulting in a death of another individual in Los Angeles. The indictment for the five men includes charges of conspiracy and the use of interstate facilities to commit murder for hire resulting in death. Lil Durk, whose legal name is Durk Devontay Banks, is the founder of OTF and considered a high-ranking member of the group. It is not clear if the men have retained attorneys. The case involves various weapons and tools used to track and kill the target, as well as the use of interstate facilities to commit the crime. The details of the case are outlined in court documents filed in California and revealed on Thursday. The men are being held without bail and could not be immediately reached for comment.
