Atlanta police have reportedly arrested 22-year-old Timothy Leeks for the fatal shooting of King Von. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, investigators secured warrants charging Leeks with murder on Saturday (November 7).
“Mr. Leeks is in police custody at Grady Hospital where he is undergoing treatment for a gunshot wound,” Atlanta police spokeswoman Marla Jean Rooker said. “The homicide of Bennett is closed with this arrest.”
The burgeoning Chicago rapper was shot outside of the Monaco Hookah Lounge on Friday morning (November 6) after a fight erupted between two large groups of people. Two people were killed, Von was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and two other people were injured. Hours after the news broke, Von succumbed to his injuries. He was 26.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is investigating the incident as an officer-involved shooting after two off-duty and one on-duty Atlanta police officers attempted to intervene in the shootout — the two off-duty officers were serving as security at the hookah bar, while the other was working nearby.
Von had just released his latest album Welcome To O’Block on October 30. Shortly after his death, EMPIRE and Audible Treats issued a statement about their client, revealing they were “devastated” by the loss.
Meanwhile, many of Von’s peers — including his on-again, off-again girlfriend Asian Doll — flooded social media with their shock and sorrow.
This story is still developing.

Just another day in Chicago. These guys are surrounded by real shooters. They’re stars on their block, the killers do the dirt. They get caught up in it. It’s hilarious that both you clowns seem more interested in how this will go down over stopping it. I guess you both are BLM dudes, SMH. Give ‘em guns, step back, watch ‘em kill each other. That’s some Pac. Not Lil’ Victim or ‘Lil life in puns him in the ass prison.
Didn’t happen in chicago stupid white boy….
I’m a Latino, moron. I know it happened in ATL. They were all GD or one of those CHI gangs stupid white boy. We know you’re one of these self loathing crackkers doing the w word cosplay, wearing skinny jeans and hating your own country. LOL. Moron.

You can lash out like your angry psychotic black momma all you want, you are still going to end up just like her broke ass living in the projects lolol.
“How about we start protesting killing each other?” Richard Pryor
“Black Culture” that we all agree is sooooo much better than wypipo’s culture. I’m sure King Von and his killer were both victims of systemic oppression. His oppressors even let him get rich, release music etc! Such horrible oppression is a clear sign of white supremacy!
Back lives matter issued a statement over the rappers tragic death claiming they didn’t give a Hoots Ass because the killer was also black!
The suspect is at Grady’s Hospital was this hospital named Grady From the Sanford and Son Grady?
The blm commenters are mad Biden won
Very sad that with all the very talented folks releasing rap music the white controlled media only considers street hooligans and gang connected buffoons to be “rappers” – it’s a pay-ops program to discredit our culture and kill our youth. Stupid games win stupid prizes. Your words and actions follow you through life and death.
Sure weirdo. There is some government conspiracy making these guys join gangs and put out albums then kill each other. That seems like something the government would invest in, considering they wouldn’t have to do shit and it would happen anyways. Like it is. How’s Westside Narnia this time of year? Am I a Russian bot too comrade? LOL. If it wasn’t for the “white co trolled media” hip-hop wouldn’t exist as we know it. It would have stayed in the Bronx. Dummy.
^non musician “fan” type
You gay, son? Dude makin all the sense in the world TRUTH HURTS BAD
You sound like you wear tinfoil hats. Whats next you are gonna tell us the tooth fairy was really a black lady and those damn white devils distorted the history books yo!
It was all good just a week ago lol now you’re reduced to yelling about tin foil hats using different aliases and liking your own comments – just like old times I guess. Things are looking up in the civilized world for a change.
Gangs are gays …
JESUS FUCKIN CHRISTINA FIX YOUR SITE I REPLIED TO ANOTHER SUCKA ..
Good work on both sides. Mr Leek for merking this clown and the police for quickly apprenendjng Mr Leek. The world is a better place today. Thank you to all involved.
Nothing sweeter than watching an evil lowlife like Queen Von meet an early demise. Well deserved.
White cops are not the problem
13% of the population doin over 51% of the murder.
Boys turn into young men that have idolized these rappers, had no positive male role models grow up believing that they have no other options in life and pop culture reinforces this.
If we want to make Black Lives matter, we need to face the real problems, a culture of glamorizing violence, greed, drugs and sex.. that produces homes with absent fathers.
It’s unpopular to speak the truth but that just means it’s more important than ever
yall got this shit all wrong it was lil durk hes admitted to it multiple times in his music videos he “sacrificed” von he stole his chains and money an flaunts it around in all is videos since yall r straight clowns to not see this.
