LOS ANGELES – Grammy-winning rapper Lil Durk was charged Friday in a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Los Angeles for his role in a murder plot that killed a man in a botched ambush near the Beverly Center in 2022.

The 32-year-old Chicago rapper, whose real name is Durk Devontay Banks, has been charged with conspiracy to use interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death. Five alleged members of Banks' Chicago-based “rap collective” face separate charges in the case.

According to jail records, the rapper was arrested on Thursday in Broward County, Florida. He was not issued bond. Records show he is also being held by the U.S. Marshals Office.

Banks is accused of ordering the murder of Tyquian Bowman, a Georgia rapper known as Quando Rondo, whose cousin was killed in a botched ambush near the mall two years ago. Five alleged members of Banks' “rap collective” were also charged.

FBI Special Agent Sarah Corcoran alleged in an affidavit filed Thursday that Banks had put a bounty on Bowman's head after an associate of Bowman's killed a close friend of Banks' at a nightclub in Atlanta, Georgia, two years earlier.

On approximately August 18, 2022, the alleged conspirators learned that Bowman was staying at a hotel in Los Angeles. The next day, Banks' five friends traveled from Chicago to Los Angeles “to murder Bowman,” federal prosecutors allege.

Several members and associates of the Banks collective — known as Only the Family, or OTF — used two vehicles and worked together to track down, pursue and murder Bowman at a gas station, the affidavit says.

The co-conspirators fired at least 18 shots into Bowman's vehicle, striking and killing one of Bowman's family members who was traveling with the intended target, the agent's affidavit said.

On October 17, a federal grand jury in Los Angeles indicted five alleged co-conspirators – Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston – for crimes related to the murder, including murder-for-hire and murder-for-hire Conspiracy to commit murder resulting in death.

Banks was identified in the indictment as co-conspirator number one, the document said.

The rapper won a Grammy for Best Melodic Rap Performance earlier this year. His albums “The Voice” and “7220” each sold more than 1 million copies. A new album from Lil Durk should be released next month.

Based on the investigation, the FBI said, evidence suggests that Banks ordered Bowman's murder and ultimately paid for the alleged co-conspirators' travel from Chicago to Los Angeles the day before the killing. Around the time the flights were purchased, records show a phone number associated with Banks texted a co-conspirator: “Do not book flights under any name associated with me,” the affidavit states Explanation.

According to the FBI agent, Banks flew with Grant on a private jet from Miami to Los Angeles. Grant used Banks' credit card to book a room at the Sheraton Universal Hotel, where the five-member alleged hit team stayed the night before tracking down Bowman, according to the affidavit, which alleges that Grant purchased ski masks for the shooters committed the murder.

Banks, meanwhile, was living in a rented house in Encino, the document said.

Early Thursday, federal and local law enforcement executed multiple search warrants at locations associated with OTF members in and around Chicago, arresting Grant, Wilson, Jones, Lindsey and Houston, Corcoran wrote.

After executing the warrants, the FBI learned that Banks had been booked on at least three international flights scheduled to leave the United States on Thursday. When Banks arrived near one of the departure airports, he was arrested by police officers.

It was not immediately clear when Banks and his co-defendants would make their first appearance in federal court in downtown Los Angeles.
