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.

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.

Keith Jones aka “Flacka,” and David Brian Lindsey aka “Browneyez,” both said to be members of other gangs in Chicago, according to the documents, were also indicted.
