According to the indictment, officials allege that the men used an OTF-associated credit card to purchase plane tickets to Los Angeles in August 2022. It is alleged that the trip’s purpose was to search for Quando Rondo.
Once there, Grant allegedly booked a hotel room for the men to stay at, where he provided them with firearms, prosecutors said.
Grant also allegedly rented two cars the men used to follow Rondo and his 24-year-old cousin, Saviay’a Robinson.
Once the pair had stopped for gas, Houston allegedly drove into a nearby alley before Jones, Lindsey, and a third unidentified man carried out the shooting.

Prosecutors said that on the same day as the shooting, an unnamed co-conspirator used an OTF-associated credit card to purchase plane tickets for Wilson, Jones, Lindsey, and Houston to return to Chicago.
