Rapper Lil Durk arrested in Florida on murder for hire charge

Rapper Lil Durk was arrested Thursday in Florida by U.S.

Rapper Lil Durk was arrested Thursday in Florida by U.S. Marshals on a charge of murder for hire, according to booking records.

The 32-year-old artist from Chicago, whose legal name is Durk Devontay Banks, was booked into the Broward County jail, and is being held without bail. 

NBC News is out to the U.S. Marshals and reps for Lil Durk for comment.

It comes as five people associated with his hip hop collective, “Only the Family,” were arrested on a federal indictment in California, accused of committing a murder for hire that resulted in death and was allegedly done in revenge for the death of a fellow group member.

Three alleged OTF members — Kavon London Grant, known as "Cuz" or "Vonnie;" Deandre Dontrell Wilson, known as "DeDe;" Asa Houston, known as "Boogie" — were charged by a grand jury for their alleged part in the murder, according to court documents filed Oct. 17 and unsealed Thursday.
