Federal prosecutors linked drill rapper Lil Durk to the murder of his brother DThang’s killer, Stephon Mack.
Mack was ambushed by 2 gunmen as he walked out of the Youth Peace Center of Roseland on Jan. 7, 2022.
According to the FBI, Mack was the leader of the Smashville faction of the Gangster Disciples.
Prosecutors accused Durk of hiring 2 men to kill Mack as revenge for his brother’s murder. Durk is currently in a federal lockup in California awaiting trial on the murder-for-hire of a Georgia man.
