Lil Durk is facing an uphill legal battle after being accused by federal authorities of putting a bounty on Quando Rondo in retaliation for the death of King Von, who was shot and killed by Quando associate Timothy “Lul Timm” Leeks following a fight outside an Atlanta lounge on Nov. 6, 2020.
Authorities say Durk, born Durk Banks, funded a five-man crew to travel to Los Angeles and kill Quando after learning where Quando was staying in August of 2022. The five men, who have also been arrested, traveled to Los Angeles allegedly using credit cards connected to Durk’s OTF record label. They located Quando, who was riding in a Black Escalade with his cousin and sister and followed him around L.A. before ultimately shooting at Quando’s car at a gas station. Quando was unharmed. However, his cousin, Saviay’a Robinson a.k.a. Lul Pab, was shot and killed.
