Rapper Lil Durk has been acquitted by a federal jury in Los Angeles of charges related to a murder-for-hire plot. The case involved an alleged attempt on the life of fellow rapper Quando Rondo at a gas station, which resulted in the death of Rondo's cousin.

## Trial Details

The jury reached their decision after three days of deliberation, clearing the 33-year-old Chicago artist of conspiracy, stalking resulting in death, and murder-for-hire charges. The trial, which lasted two weeks, drew significant attention, with notable figures like Machine Gun Kelly and Ye attending.

While Lil Durk was acquitted, his co-defendants, Deandre Wilson and David Lindsey, were found guilty of conspiracy to commit stalking and related charges. However, they were also acquitted of murder-for-hire.
