According to an FBI affidavit released on Friday, Durk, 32, is charged with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire in connection with the tragic death of Saviay’a Robinson, a 24-year-old who was fatally shot at a Los Angeles gas station on August 19, 2022.
The arrest comes as part of a broader investigation that has already implicated five other members of Durk’s Chicago-based rap collective, “Only the Family” (OTF). Federal authorities suggest that additional arrests may be imminent.
