The Inevitable End: Man Who Invaded Lil Durk’s House Found Executed with 17 Gunshots; OTF Affiliate Arrested for Murder
Some stories in the streets don’t end in a flash; they unfold over years, each act of violence quietly setting the stage for the next. The four-year saga involving rapper Lil Durk, his associate OTF Buuna, and a Georgia-based man named Oscar Alexis Cruz is one such narrative—a chain of events that began with a break-in at a celebrity mansion and culminated in a brutal execution, proving that in certain worlds, old actions never truly fade.
The man at the center of the tragedy, Oscar Alexis Cruz, was known to be connected in the drug game, the kind of person who believed he was untouchable. But in the summer of 2021, Oscar crossed a line that would prove fatal, setting off a chain reaction that only ended once the score was settled.
Act I: The Home Invasion and The Gunfight
The drama began in the quiet, upscale Chattahoochee Hills neighborhood of Brazelton, Georgia. In the early morning hours of July 2021, unidentified intruders forced their way into the home of Lil Durk and his girlfriend, India Royale. Investigators later identified Oscar Alexis Cruz as one of the men.
The invasion was met with immediate, armed resistance. Durk and India Royale exchanged gunfire with the intruders inside the house. While no one in the home was injured, the assailants escaped, disappearing into the night. To the public, it was a shocking headline; to the streets, it was a declaration of war. A line had been crossed, and the message was clear: Lil Durk’s crew, the Only The Family (OTF) movement, would not let the attempt go unanswered.
Act II: The Mall Shootout and the Escalation of Retaliation
The response came three months later, in October 2021, and was dangerously public. Durk’s close affiliate, OTF Buuna, spotted someone he believed was tied to Oscar Cruz and the home invasion inside the Cumberland Mall in Atlanta. The tension snapped, boiling over into a chaotic shootout in the parking lot.
Gunfire erupted between occupants of two vehicles, sending crowds fleeing and injuring four innocent bystanders, including a six-year-old boy who was shot in the leg. Buuna was subsequently arrested and charged with aggravated assault with the intent to murder. For those watching, the public violence was a clear signal: the pursuit of revenge was active, reckless, and far from over.
Act III: The Execution and the Final Message
The story could have faded, but the past circled back with cold, patient inevitability. Early on the morning of July 22, 2025, a body was discovered in a church parking lot in Snailville, Georgia. The victim was Oscar Alexis Cruz.
The manner of death was an unmistakable message: Cruz had been abducted from another location, tortured, and then executed. He was found with duct tape binding him and an astonishing 17 gunshot wounds, left near the pavement’s edge, seemingly as a warning. Neighbors in the quiet community were shocked, noting they hadn’t heard any gunshots, suggesting the killing was carried out elsewhere.
The Arrest of OTF Buuna
By mid-2025, the final piece of the puzzle fell into place. Authorities connected the murder of Oscar Cruz to the very people who were rumored to be seeking revenge since the 2021 home invasion. Among those arrested was OTF Buuna (also referred to by the name Golden in the arrest footage), the same individual tied to the volatile mall shooting.
Buuna was arrested during a routine traffic stop for having an expired or incorrect tag on his vehicle, unaware that police had already linked the car to the murder. As officers approached the vehicle, the weight of the moment fell silent around him. Prosecutors claimed that Oscar Cruz, the man who once broke into Durk’s home, was tied up, forced to face his fate, and then shot 17 times.
The execution of Oscar Alexis Cruz, four years after the initial home invasion, serves as a grim conclusion to a long, ugly chapter. It is a powerful reminder that in the world of high-stakes beef, once violence is set in motion, it rarely stops with the first shot—it keeps moving, keeps spreading, and eventually, it takes everything.
