Lil Durk Acquitted in 2022 Murder-for-Hire Trial; Faces Upcoming Racketeering Case
Rapper Lil Durk was found not guilty on all charges in his federal murder-for-hire trial related to a 2022 shooting targeting rapper Quando Rondo. The jury deliberated for three days before acquitting Durk, who denied involvement and was defended by a prominent legal team. While Durk was cleared, his co-defendants faced convictions on stalking-related charges. Durk remains in custody pending a separate federal racketeering trial scheduled for October. The case was linked to retaliation for the 2020 killing of King Von, a close associate of Durk.
