OTF Jam details the alleged plan, and his own part in it

Hester laid out the alleged assassination plan for the jury: he said an early-morning call on Aug. 18, 2022 summoned him — “we need you” — to help target Quando Rondo, that the group obtained Rondo’s address through a marijuana-dealer connection and planned to shoot him as he left a hotel, and that the attempt was abandoned when police were present. Describing himself as a “shooter,” Hester called the scheme “sloppy” and said carrying it out “ain’t something I wanted to do.” Defense attorney Brian Steel began his cross-examination. — Los Angeles Magazine · AllHipHop
