King Von’s Death
NPR reported in November 2020 that a dispute broke out in the parking lot of the Monaco Hookah Lounge on Trinity Avenue in Atlanta, resulting in gunfire between two groups. Three males were shot during the scuffle and one of them was Von.
"King Von was shot and killed during this morning's shooting," Atlanta Police Department said in a statement to NPR. "We are seeing rumors being spread indicating he was shot and killed by APD officers."
The authorities further explained that Von was shot during the original gunfire between the two groups, before police could arrive and stop the violence. As police arrived the crime scene, Von was not found anywhere, but reached a hospital via private vehicle shortly after the incident.
On November 8, 2020, APD verified to Vulture that the APD Homicide Unit had acquired arrest warrants against a 22-year-old male, Timothy Leeks for Felony Murder in the shooting death of the rapper. Also, Von’s homicide had officially been categorized as "closed" by the APD at that point.
