On Friday, October 25, 2024, Lil Durk, aka Durk Banks, was detained by US Marshals in Florida, as reported by HotNewHipHop. The arrest happened hours after five of his alleged OTF associates were taken into custody and charged with murder-for-hire and murder-for-hire conspiracy.
According to RapTV and DJ Akademiks, Durk is currently being held at the Broward County Correctional Facility. The 32-year-old rapper also faces murder-for-hire charges. Meanwhile, the news with an image of Durk's mugshot went viral across the internet.

Everything to know about the 2022 shooting that was connected to Lil Durk's recent arrest
Durk and his associates' arrests are connected to a shooting that took place on August 19, 2022, at a gas station in Los Angeles. On the day, Quando Rondo and his group became victims of a shooting. While Rondo was unharmed, his cousin, identified as Saviay'a Robinson, was killed.
Law enforcement officials mentioned that the shooting seemed to be a retaliation to the death of rapper King Von, who died in November 2020. Von was allegedly killed by an associate of Quando. Further, Timothy "Lul Timm" Leeks, who was arrested in connection to Von's death, later got his charges dropped.
The latest indictment, involving the five associates of Lil Durk, included one of them allegedly making an offer of "lucrative music opportunities" if the hit on Quando Rondo was successful.
When the news about Durk's arrest went viral online, many of his fans and other netizens couldn't seem to accept it, with some claiming the arrest wasn't right. Meanwhile, DJ Akademiks was seen getting quite upset on his livestream upon hearing the news of the arrest.
No additional details about the arrest or the charges have been revealed yet.
