2019 felony firearm charges against Lil Durk dropped
Back in February 2019, Lil Durk was accused of shooting a man, in Atlanta. This was in the midtown area, near the popular The Varsity restaurant. A firearm was found in the aftermath of the shooting, as well as 13 shell casings. The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Durk went on to be charged with criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated assault, unlawful for employed by/associated with criminal street gang to conduct/participate in crime, possession of a firearm during commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. However, three years later, all charges relating to this case against Durk, have officially been dropped, according to WSB-TV 2.
“While it took three years for the State to make the right decision, in the end, the right decision was made, and Mr. Banks can finally put this event behind him,” said Durk’s attorney, Manny Arora, in a statement.
Durk turned himself in, at the time of the shooting. However, he maintained that he was innocent, and had “nothing to hide.” Since then, he’s become one of the biggest artists in the industry. This includes having a chart-topping joint album with Lil Baby, “The Voice Of The Heroes,” in 2021, and scoring his first number one solo album, “7220,” this year.
