Reported by: Kent Morlan

Rapper Durk Devontay Banks, aka Lil Durk, Deandre "OTF Dede" Wilson and David "Browneyez" Lindsey were accused of plotting to kill Quando Rondo, whose real name is Tyquian Bowman.

Rondo was the intended target of a 2022 shooting in which gunfire missed him but killed his cousin, 24-year-old Saviay'a Robinson, near Beverly Hills.

The conspiracy was believed to be intended as retaliation for the killing of Chicago OTF rapper King Von, who was killed during an early morning exchange of gunfire outside the Monaco Hookah Lounge in Atlanta.

Keith "Flacka" Jones, who was among those charged in the case, pleaded guilty to Robinson's murder and testified against Durk, Wilson and Lindsey at trial. Kavon "OTF Vonnie" Grant also pleaded guilty in the case and testified against Banks, Wilson and Lindsey.
Outcome:
Durk was found not guilty but Deandre "OTF Dede" Wilson and David "Browneyez" Lindsey, were convicted of stalking and stalking conspiracy charges, but acquitted of murder for hire.
