A federal jury reached a verdict in rapper Lil Durk ‘s high-profile murder-for-hire trial on Friday. In August 2022, Lil Durk, whose actual name is Durk Devontay Banks, was accused of planning a murder-for-hire scheme against rapper Quando Rondo.
Bowman had been charged with a more comprehensive conspiracy involving methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl, and marijuana prior to making a plea deal. Bowman has now entered community confinement, where inmates gradually transition back into society while completing the remainder of their sentences. At his sentencing hearing, Bowman apologised to his family and hometown.
Quando Rondo, whose real name is Tyquian Bowman, was sentenced to 33 months in prison, ordered to pay a $40,000 fine, and began serving his sentence in late 2024. As part of the plea agreement, that charge, which could have resulted in a 20-year jail sentence, was withdrawn. After being sentenced, Bowman spent 15 months of his sentence at the Edgefield Federal Correctional Institution.
“I really want to give an apology to the city of Savannah… and most of all my daughters,” he told the court, according to Rolling Stone.
