Atlanta police have charged a man, Timothy Leeks, with felony murder in the shooting death of 26-year-old rapper King Von.

Chicago-based rapper King Von was born Dayvon Daquan Bennett in a crime-ridden neighborhood on Chicago’s Southside. Recognized for his fluid lyrical flow, King Von got signed by fellow rapper Lil Durk and released his breakout single “Crazy Story” in 2018 when he was just 24 years old. Sadly, two years later, on November 6, 2020, the young rapper was involved in a shootout that claimed his life. Despite having such a short musical career, King Von stood out and gained popularity, thanks to devoted fans of his music. He was paid a short tribute at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards
