AceShowbiz - In a significant development during the ongoing trial, Lil Durk was identified in court as a participant in the 2022 murder of rapper Quando Rondo’s cousin, Saviay'a Robinson. The testimony came from Kacey "OTF Jam" Hester, a former affiliate of Durk, who took the witness stand on August 25, 2026, amidst the highly publicized case.

OTF Jam confirmed his involvement in the shooting that resulted in Robinson’s death, naming Durk and his alleged co-conspirators DeAndre Wilson and David Lindsey as participants in the crime, according to journalist Michael Blackshire, who is covering the trial.

During the proceedings, the jury was presented with a 2023 group text conversation discussing Jam. In the messages, Durk seemingly acknowledged that Jam was prepared to cooperate with authorities but conveyed confidence that as long as the group stayed strong, any information shared would not break their unity.

Prosecutors allege that Durk orchestrated a plan to have Quando Rondo killed in California in August 2022. They claim he paid OTF Jam, Kavon "OTF Vonnie" Grant, Deandre Wilson, Keith Jones, David Lindsey, and Asa Houston to carry out the attack in retaliation for the death of King Von, who was killed by an associate of Quando Rondo in 2020.

The attempt on Quando Rondo’s life took place during a gas station shooting but tragically resulted in the death of his cousin, Saviay'a Robinson, instead. The case has drawn intense attention due to the high-profile nature of those involved and the violent circumstances surrounding it.

OTF Jam along with two other alleged hitmen, OTF Vonnie and Keith Jones, have pleaded guilty and are expected to testify against Durk, Wilson, and Lindsey. Asa Houston has been removed from the current trial proceedings.

Durk, Wilson, and Lindsey face potential life sentences if convicted on the charges related to this case. The trial continues to unfold as more witnesses are scheduled to testify.
