A 22-year-old man has been arrested and charged in the shooting death of 26-year-old Chicago rapper King Von. The alleged shooter is Timothy Leakes, the older brother of Von’s former best friend, Quando Rondo. Von was shot and killed during a shootout in the parking lot of the Monaco Hookah Lounge in downtown Atlanta, GA. A video of the shooting was shared to social media and led to the arrest of Leaks, who can allegedly be seen in the video with Quando Rondo exchanging fire with members of Von’s entourage. WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT! CLICK HERE TO SEE VIDEO OF SHOOTING Two police officers with the Atlanta Police Department were also involved. One was off-duty and working security at the club, and the other was on duty and patrolling nearby. Tributes have continued to flood social media as the hip-hop community mourns the loss of yet another talented young star. Damn Rest Easy Von! Bronny, Bryce and I rocked with his music and story telling! The kid had a damn good future ahead of him. My prayers and blessings to his family. 🙏🏾 #LeVonJames #KingVon — LeBron James (@KingJames) November 6, 2020 Our prayers are with his family at this time.
