Shmurk faced two additional charges in a superseding indictment in his murder-for-hire case. Federal prosecutors announced the new felonies on November 8th.
The drill rapper was charged with one count of conspiracy, one count of use of interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death and one count of using, carrying and discharging firearms and a machine gun and possession of such firearms in furtherance of a crime of violence resulting in death. Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, was previously charged via criminal complaint. Prosecutors accused Lil Durk of ordering a hit on Quando Rondo, which led to the 2022 shooting death of Rondo’s cousin Lul Pab. Lil Durk’s co-conspirators Kavon Grant, Deandre Wilson, Keith Jones, David Lindsey and Asa Houston were indicted for their alleged roles in the murder-for-hire scheme.
Lil Durk was arrested in Florida in October. Authorities said hitmen used his money to carry out an attack on Rondo in 2022. A close associate of Lil Durk allegedly coordinated and paid for his five co-conspirators to travel from Chicago to California a day before the murder.
