Judge Finds Probable Cause to Charge Lil Durk With Intent to Commit Murder

Georgia authorities say they have video evidence of Lil Durk carrying out a non-fatal shooting in Atlanta, WSB-TV reports.

The incident occurred in the morning of Feb. 5 outside famed restaurant The Varsity, where 23-year-old Alexander Weatherspoon was shot in the thigh.

Durk—real name Durk Derrick Banks—turned himself in several weeks ago in connection with the shooting; however, the 26-year-old rapper denied any involvement.

"I have nothing to hide," he told the media. "I have nothing to run from."

During Friday's probable cause hearing, an Atlanta detective said there is surveillance footage in which Durk is seen driving a car and shooting a man outside The Varsity. A judge ultimately found probable cause against the artist and his co-defendant, OTF rapper King Von, after hearing witness testimony.

Durk and King Von are now facing a slew of charges, including criminal intent to commit murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Authorities have not explained the relationship between Durk and Weatherspoon; however, witnesses told police they saw the victim in a verbal dispute with a man shortly before the gun was fired. Investigators also say Durk robbed Weatherspoon of a gold chain and $30,000 during the incident.

Stay tuned to see how the case unfolds.
