Arrest Made in Murder Case
Five individuals from Chicago are facing federal charges in California, as they are alleged to have been contracted to carry out the murder of rapper Quando Rondo in Los Angeles, linked to his purported role in the 2020 death of King Von. The revelations, brought to light on Thursday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, highlighted ties to Only the Family (OTF), a prominent hip-hop collective established by rapper Lil Durk and based in Chicago.
Charges of Murder-for-Hire Revealed
Asa Houston, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, and Kavon London Grant have been apprehended and face serious charges including murder-for-hire linked to a fatality, the use of a machine gun in a violent crime that led to death, and conspiracy to engage in murder-for-hire activities. The allegations could result in the ultimate punishment of execution if a conviction is secured.
The prosecution asserts that all five individuals were connected to OTF, an organization co-founded by Lil Durk, a prominent figure in Chicago’s drill rap scene and the mentor of King Von. The indictment outlines the use of credit cards linked to OTF for purchasing flights and rental cars associated with the murder plot. Among the five defendants, two were identified as affiliated with a street gang operating in Chicago.
West Hollywood Experiences Failed Assassination Attempt
An ambush occurred in August 2022 in West Hollywood, aimed at Quando Rondo, whose real name is Tyquian Terrel Bowman, marking the peak of a deadly plot. As the assailants opened fire, Bowman, along with his sister and cousin Saviay’a Robinson, found themselves inside a black Cadillac Escalade. Robinson, 24, was tragically shot multiple times and killed, while Bowman and his sister emerged unscathed.
According to the indictment, Grant provided firearms and two rental vehicles for the operation after securing a hotel room for the co-conspirators on August 18, 2022. Prior to launching their assault, the attackers trailed Bowman’s vehicle through the streets of Los Angeles in a white BMW sedan and a white Infiniti. Surveillance footage captured the two vehicles trailing the Escalade across multiple locations.
Claims of OTF Involvement in King Von’s Demise
On November 6, 2020, Dayvon Bennett, known professionally as King Von, lost his life in a confrontation outside a hookah bar in Atlanta. The circumstances surrounding his death have ignited ongoing conflicts within the drill rap scene. Federal authorities indicate that Bowman was specifically targeted by individuals affiliated with OTF, who were allegedly seeking revenge due to his suspected role in the murder. An unnamed associate, believed to have ties to OTF, allegedly offered financial incentives and attractive recording contracts to individuals willing to take Bowman’s life.
Reports indicate that Houston drove to an alley, enabling Jones, Lindsey, and an unidentified conspirator to flee and execute the shooting while Bowman remained parked at a gas station. The surveillance footage captured the gunman targeting Bowman’s car before delivering a fatal shot to Robinson.
Detentions and Judicial Actions
On Thursday, five men arrived at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse following their apprehension in the Chicago area. As the case transitions to Los Angeles for further proceedings, U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert has mandated their detention.
The latest development stemming from the unresolved issues related to King Von’s death is the storyline. Federal authorities continue to investigate OTF’s possible involvement in several violent incidents. A complaint was filed earlier this month by the mother of FBG Duck, a Chicago drill rapper who was killed in 2020, alleging that Lil Durk, King Von, and OTF played a role in her son’s shooting.
Lil Durk and the Chicago Drill Movement
Established over a decade ago by Lil Durk, OTF has significantly influenced the drill music scene in Chicago, known for its themes of gang conflict and violence. Drill music, brought to prominence by artists such as Chief Keef and G Herbo, has become linked to real-life violence, intensifying ongoing rivalries between factions.
Authorities continue to investigate OTF’s potential role in the violence impacting the drill rap community as the inquiry advances, while the federal government examines the group’s connections to unlawful activities.
