Lil Durk’s co-defendants OTF DeDe and Browneyez want to be tried separately, arguing that the government’s latest indictment could make jurors blame them for shootings and murders they say they did not commit.
Deandre Wilson, known as OTF DeDe, and David Lindsey, known as Browneyez, filed a renewed motion to sever on June 10.
The new indictment, filed June 3, charges four violent acts that prosecutors say are connected to the alleged Banks Gang Enterprise. Those allegations include a February 2019 attempted murder in Atlanta, a May 2021 attempted murder of Quando Rondo in Blackshear, Georgia, the January 2022 murder of Stephon Mack in Chicago, and the August 2022 Beverly Hills gas station shooting that killed Lul Pab. Prosecutors allege Quando Rondo was the intended target in that shooting.
Wilson and Lindsey’s lawyers say the charges do not belong in one trial and argue that their clients are not named in the Atlanta shooting and that the Chicago murder is linked to unnamed co-conspirators, not them, and that Wilson’s appearance weeks later at a music video shoot where Durk Banks allegedly had $1 million in cash could wrongly make them look guilty.
Their hearing is set for July 1 before Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald in Los Angeles. Prosecutors say trial is set for August 20, 2026.
