He\u2019s been in custody since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/lil-durk-arrested-florida-pending-121621442.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:his October arrest;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">his October arrest<\/a> and is awaiting trial on charges <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/lil-durk-facing-two-more-210218404.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:he orchestrated a scheme;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">he orchestrated a scheme<\/a> that led to the shooting death of Georgia rapper Quando Rondo\u2019s cousin at a Los Angeles gas station two years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Banks, 32, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/lil-durk-pleads-not-guilty-190051683.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:pleaded not guilty;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">pleaded not guilty<\/a> in the Los Angeles case last month. In that case, prosecutors in the Central District of California say Banks used his hip-hop collective Only the Family, or OTF, to engage in violence. They claim he sought revenge on Quando Rondo because he believed the fellow rapper, born Tyquian Bowman, was somehow involved in the shooting death of up-and-coming artist King Von outside an Atlanta club on Nov. 6, 2020. (Banks and King Von, born Dayvon Bennett, were childhood friends, with Banks signing Bennett to his label in 2018.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">\u201cAfter [Bennett\u2019s] murder, defendant Banks made clear, in coded language, that he would pay a bounty or monetary reward, and\/or make payment to anyone who took part in killing [Bowman] for his role in [Bennett\u2019s] murder,\u201d the superseding indictment now pending against Banks states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Attempts to reach Banks\u2019 legal team were not immediately successful Thursday. In a filing ahead of his detention hearing, the lawyers called Banks \u201ca devoted husband, father, and son\u201d and renowned artist who deserved release on a bond secured by $1 million cash and his $2.3 million equity in two homes. They said he would submit to electronic monitoring and 24-hour security surveillance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Prosecutors said they opposed Banks\u2019 release. In prior filings, they\u2019ve alleged Banks learned Bowman was staying in a Los Angeles hotel in August 2022 and caused his co-defendants to travel from Chicago to Los Angeles to find him. Prosecutors allege Banks\u2019 co-defendants \u201cused two vehicles and worked in tandem to track, stalk, and attempt to murder [Bowman] for hours,\u201d culminating in the gas station shooting. The gunmen fired at least 18 rounds at Bowman\u2019s vehicle, striking and killing Bowman\u2019s cousin, Saviay\u2019a Robinson, who was traveling with him, authorities allege.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Prosecutors claim they have banking and flight records that link a Banks associate to the travel plans. They say that around the time the one-way flights were purchased, Banks allegedly told the associate, \u201cDon\u2019t book no flights under no names involved wit [sic] me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">The same day several of the men traveled to California, Banks flew in on a private jet with another alleged co-conspirator, Kavon London Grant, 28, the indictment claims. Grant allegedly purchased ski masks for the shooters and used a credit card in Banks\u2019 name to pay for the other men\u2019s hotel room, prosecutors allege.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">When Banks\u2019 co-defendants were arrested in Chicago the morning of Oct. 24, Banks purportedly planned to leave country, an FBI agent alleged in an affidavit obtained by <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>. The agent said that \u201cshortly after\u201d officials made the Chicago arrests and started executing search warrants, the FBI was notified by U.S. Customs and Border Protection that Banks had been booked on separate one-way flights to Dubai and Switzerland, leaving out of the Miami area. He did not board either flight and was arrested in the vicinity of a Miami airport an hour before his private jet bound for Italy was set to depart, the agent wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">If convicted as charged in the Los Angeles case, Banks is facing up to life in federal prison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\"><strong>Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.email.rollingstone.com\/signup\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:RollingStone's Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">RollingStone&#8217;s Newsletter<\/a>.
