Lil Durk is going free.
The “All My Life” rapper was found not guilty of all charges in a murder-for-hire trial on Sept. 11, with a Los Angeles jury determining that the 33-year-old was not responsible for the fatal shooting of Saviay’a Robinson in 2022.
Durk (real name Durk Banks) had pled not guilty to five charges in the case, including stalking and orchestrating a murder-for-hire.
Prosecutors accused Durk of being “consumed with revenge” over the death of his friend King Von (real name Dayvon Bennett), who was fatally shot in Atlanta in 2020 following a fight with associates of rapper Quando Rondo (real name Tyquian Bowman), per The New York Times.
Prosecutors alleged that Durk used “coded language” to order hitmen to take out Rondo, saying gunmen ambushed the “Scarred from Love” artist at a gas station near the Beverly Center shopping mall and fired at least 18 rounds from various weapons, including a machine gun, per Rolling Stone.
The shooting led to the death of Rondo’s cousin Robinson, who was standing by Rondo’s car at the gas station.
