Lil Durk Faces New Charges in August Trial
23 May
Summary
- Lil Durk's murder-for-hire trial is set for August.
- Prosecutors may add charges related to past incidents.
- The trial is linked to the alleged murder of Lul Pab.
Rapper Lil Durk, whose legal name is Durk Devontay Banks, faces potential new charges as his murder-for-hire trial approaches. The trial is slated to commence in August, with the rapper having been in custody since his arrest in late 2024. Prosecutors are currently reviewing supplemental charges that could be added before June 3.
These potential new charges stem from alleged involvement in a January 2019 shooting in Atlanta and the January 2022 murder of Stephon Mack in Chicago. While Durk faced dropped charges for the Atlanta incident, unsealed documents from the Chicago case pointed to his alleged responsibility. These incidents could be presented as direct evidence during his upcoming trial.
The central focus of the case is the alleged murder-for-hire of rapper Lul Pab, real name Saviay'a Robinson. It is claimed that Lul Pab's death was in retaliation for the 2020 murder of King Von. Co-defendant Deandre Wilson, also known as "OTF DeDe," has requested to be released on bond.
