The arrest has sparked discussion on social media, especially since no bond has been set for Lil Durk.

At the time of filing this report, Lil Durk’s representatives have not made any public statement regarding the charges.

Just prior to Lil Durk’s arrest, five men reportedly associated with his OTF (Only The Family) collective were also detained.

Those charged include Kavon London Grant (aka “Vonnie”), Deandre Dontrell Wilson (aka “DeDe”), Keith Jones (aka “Flacka”), David Brian Lindsey (aka “Browneyez”), and Asa Houston (aka “Boogie”).

These men, all from Chicago, face charges of murder-for-hire and conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, in connection to the 2022 death of Saviay’a Robinson, another cousin of Quando Rondo, in Los Angeles.

According to an indictment in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, these five men allegedly conducted the shooting as part of their affiliation with OTF.

Prosecutors claim flights and rental cars for the group were paid for with a credit card linked to OTF, which is now being used as evidence in the case to support the alleged connection to Lil Durk’s collective.

This comes four months after Lil Durk’s 10-year-old son shot his stepfather, Joshua Pippens, during a domestic dispute involving the child’s mother.
