Prosecutors Say Lil Durk Rejected 2022 Peace Offer Before Aug. 20 Murder-for-Hire Trial

Summary
Federal prosecutors said newly identified texts and a voice memo show Lil Durk rejected a December 2022 offer to “squash” his feud with Quando Rondo, days before his Aug. 20 trial.
The filing says the messages help prove the revenge conspiracy continued after the August 2022 shooting that allegedly targeted Rondo but killed his cousin Saviay'a Robinson instead.
Prosecutors argue the exchange undercuts any claim Durk merely knew about the killing, portraying him instead as a leader who organized and paid for the attack to avenge King Von.
Durk, whose legal name is Durk Banks, faces a murder-for-hire trial with one final pretrial hearing set for Aug. 18; his attorneys had not commented on the alleged text thread.
