Lil Durk's Murder-for-Hire Trial Ends as Jury Begins Deliberations
Lil Durk's federal murder-for-hire trial in Los Angeles has concluded with jury deliberations underway regarding an alleged 2022 shooting targeting rival rapper Quando Rondo. Durk faces charges including murder-for-hire and stalking, with prosecutors presenting witness testimony and evidence linking him to the plot. Even if acquitted, Durk may remain in custody due to a separate racketeering case involving allegations of violence, drug trafficking, witness intimidation, and flight risk, which prosecutors are expected to emphasize in detention arguments.
