King Von’s murder continues to make headlines as the pieces of the puzzle fall into place. The Chicago-born rapper was shot and killed outside of Atlanta’s Monaco Hookah Lounge on November 6 following a reported brawl with Quando Rondo and his crew.
In newly surfaced surveillance video, a large group of people are gathered outside of the hookah bar when Von, dressed in all white, saunters up to another man who appears to be Quando and punches him square in the face. From there, chaos ensues and gunshots ring out just moments later.
Two off-duty police officers who were working security at the hookah bar and another on-duty police officer who was also working nearby attempted to intervene and began firing their weapons.
As Von’s manager and 100K Management Senior Vice-President Jameson Francois explained, “Those shots that was fired from the individuals that shot Von and myself was the only shots fired from those individuals. Every other shot was coming from authorities. They started shooting everywhere.
“So, when you see everybody taking cover, they wasn’t taking cover away from the shooter from Von. They was takin’ cover because they didn’t know where the shots was going from.”
After the gunfire ceased, two people were dead, Von was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and two others were injured, including Francois and 22-year-old Timothy Leeks who was charged with the murder on Saturday (November 8) while recovering at Grady Hospital.
Von had just released his latest album Welcome To O’Block on October 30 when he was killed. He was 26 years old.
Good. Let those animals keep killing themselves and make sure everyone still believes in BLM aka Burn Loot Murda
Bro u a fucking lame, I see ur parents weren’t shit seeing the child they raised also it’s clear your kids won’t be shit in life either if yo trolling ass even get pussy.
Stop acting like a bunch of clown ass savages and you won’t be called out for it … you want to cry that you are viewed as thugs and criminals then stop acting like it
you sound hurt af lissy ass. Von got what was coming to his ugly ass. im tired of these pussy lil kids actin gangsta and constantly getin made out as an example. gtfoh
So throwing a punch is acting “gangsta?” No matter what he’s done before this night, he didn’t deserve to die just because he got into a fight. Rondo’s brother is a pussy for that. I respect Von for actually using his hands instead of bussin.
LOL, keep being bitter and try forming a coherent argument. I’m gay, I get male ass, not pussy. Wna be homophobic?! Didn’t you vote for Joe Biden or the Dems that are so LGBT friendly?!
A young man was shot dead simply because he threw a punch. Damn!
Some people just don’t know how to take a punch, an ass beat or take an L. I wonder if they do that their mothers/fathers when they get their asses beat when trying to discipline them? I highly doubted because if they ever were to get disciplined, they’d be really dope rappers w/ good rapping skills… and alive. What do I know? I went to Inglewood High.
The guy that took the punch wasnt the guy that shot!
It doesn’t matter. It was his crew. People with him. They could have all fought and one moron started shooting. They all should have know better actually. Punks will stab and shoot all day. Some kid from a rival gang was killed in Chi and Vom was clowning him AND his mom on social media. He is hardly innocent or unaware of this kind of shit going down. I wish BLM and society in general would step in and create more opportunities and resources in communities so shit like this stops happening. It was too late for this kid. He would have got got eventually. That’s that Chi life for you. He went to ATL to get handled. SMH
I know, you Rudolph-ass, red-nose-booger-picking, Renxoe! I got eyes, too!! It was the “WHITE DEVIL MAN 666”!!! #Satire
Palabra ese. I grew up in WLA in the 90’s. I went to Venice High. Before it became hipster haven. These youngsters don’t go toes (fades), shit, they don’t even know how to throw a punch. They’re out ridin dirty and act like it’s tge cops fault when they get caught slippin’. No one likes the pigs, but if you get hemmed up, that’s on you Holmes. Figure that shit out. Don’t cry like a bitch.
BLM y’all! I keep saying it. These racist ass cops shot him.
Play games, win prizes! #ImJustSaying
Its funny ash that ppl can tell fake ass ppl buy the way they love internet beef lmao real ppl dont talk lmao
All the shooter did was do what almost every rapper raps about. He sent that hollow point to play with his brains, left him dead in the living room, etc. Why are people upset, art usually bleeds in to real life.
Keep your hands to yourself that’s the moral of the story period
What’s sad is dudes would pray super hard to get an opportunity to make a livin off music. To then get it and throw it away. I don’t get it. If you wanna be in the streets and be a street legend then stay in the streets. You’re wasting a chance to be better for credibility from people who only favor you only if you lookin out for them. They’ll spit on your grave if u ain’t giving them anything. We have to change the culture of hip hop. This idea that being a street dude is the highest praise you can get when being an artist.
Am I still blocked from commenting
I find it interesting the only stories open for comment seem to be ones where cops and death are involved
’96 all over again. Von is the reason Von aint here right now. Rondo man did what he was supposed to,protect the bag.
I agree with dudes comments. Where is the hoiier than thou BLM and Democrats???!!! SMMFH … that linear agenda
BLM is about authorities getting away with murder. The shooters got arrested and will likely go to jail. Cops get desk duty and paid administrative leave.
Good. Another piece of trash removed from the streets. I say we remove police from their neighborhoods since they don’t want them there, and let them eat each other
Why are you here… Go to the “PROUD BITCHES” website TROLL
How about you keep all those foul ass comments to yourself!
I don’t understand why someone believes that they could put hands on someone and expect the other person to defend themselves. Timothy needs to be release and a projectile test needs to be done on all involve including the cops. As for Von is ashame he did not had the opportunity to learn from this experience. May his family find closer, I pray for it.
I didn’t mean she
