Arrests Made for 2022 Quando Rondo Shooting

On Thursday (Oct. 24), federal authorities in Chicago arrested Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston in connection to the shooting death of Quando Rondo's cousin Saviay’a Robinson, reports the Chicago Tribune. According to the news outlet, all five men have been indicted on charges including conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, committing murder-for-hire involving a death and use of a machine gun in a violent crime resulting in death.

The indictment claims that all five men are associates of Lil Durk's OTF collective. Prosecutors say flights and rental cars for the five men were paid for with a credit card tied to the label. In addition, prosecutors claim an unnamed member of OTF allegedly offered "lucrative music opportunities" to anyone who would kill Quando Rondo.
