Overview
- A Los Angeles federal jury found Durk not guilty on all murder‑for‑hire and stalking counts after three days of deliberations that concluded on Sept. 11.
- Co‑defendants Deandre “OTF DeDe” Wilson and David “Browneyez” Lindsey were acquitted of murder‑for‑hire but convicted of stalking and conspiracy to commit stalking, charges that carry lengthy prison terms.
- Prosecutors relied on three cooperating witnesses — Kavon “OTF Vonni” Grant, Kacey “OTF Jam” Hester and Keith “Flacka” Jones — together with travel records, GPS and phone data, credit charges and surveillance to link Durk to the plot.
- Durk remains in federal custody because the court severed separate racketeering, VICAR (violent crimes in aid of racketeering) and firearms charges that are set for trial starting October 5.
- The high‑profile trial drew celebrity attention and sharp public reactions, survivors’ family members are weighing civil action, and the October trial will decide whether prosecutors can prove broader RICO‑style allegations against Durk and his affiliates.
