By
Nancy Dillon
Summary
A federal grand jury has added new racketeering charges to Lil Durk's (Durk Banks) murder-for-hire case, including murder in aid of racketeering and conspiracy to commit stalking. The third superseding indictment links the Grammy-winning rapper to the January 2022 killing of a rival gang member in Chicago, accusing him of acting as a gang leader and offering a reward that led to the murder. His defense attorneys have dismissed the latest indictment as "pathetic" and accused prosecutors of putting "lipstick on a pig."
