The charges stem from the 2022 slaying of Georgia rapper Quando Rondo’s cousin, Lul Pab, in Los Angeles.

The 32-year-old Grammy Award-winning musician, whose real name is Durk Devontay Banks, is being held Friday morning at Broward County Main Jail on behalf of the U.S Marshal’s Service, pending charges of murder-for-hire, according to jail records. As Banks was taken into custody Thursday, federal prosecutors in California announced the arrest of five others: Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston — whose charges include murder-for-hire, murder-for-hire conspiracy and use of a machine gun in a violent crime resulting in death.
According to the indictment, the plot was aimed at Quando Rondo, real name Tyquian Terrel Bowman, in retaliation for his suspected involvement in the 2020 death of emerging rapper King Von, also known as Dayvon Daquan Bennett, an “OTF” affiliate who was close friends with Durk.
