One person has been arrested in connection to the death of rapper King Von in Atlanta, police said today.

Timothy Leeks, 22, is in police custody while at Grady Hospital in Atlanta, where he is receiving treatment for a gunshot wound, according to the Atlanta Police Department. The Atlanta Police Homicide Unit has arrest warrants against Leeks for felony murder.

The APD's homicide investigation of Von's slaying is closed with the arrest of Leeks, the department said.

Von, from Chicago, was killed Friday during an early morning exchange of gunfire outside the Monaco Hookah Lounge in Atlanta, authorities said.
Two groups of men were arguing when the shots were fired around 3:30 a.m, authorities said. On-duty and off-duty police responded in an attempt to stop the shooting and gunfire was exchanged.



Four people were wounded by gunfire, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which was investigating the shooting because officers fired their weapons.
In addition to Von, Mark Blakely, 34, of Chicago was killed.

King Von, 26, whose legal name is Dayvon Bennett, charted twice on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums with "Grandson, Vol. 1" (a mixtape that went to No. 37) and "Levon James" (a mixtape that peaked at No. 36). Just last month, he released the album "Welcome To O'Block."

"The 26-year-old artist left us just as the world was beginning to grasp the depths of his talents," King Von's publicist Erin Ryan said in a statement. "He was a devoted father, a deeply loyal friend, and a man who took care of his people before himself. We are heartbroken for his family, his friends, his team, and his fans."

Basketball star LeBron James lamented the death of King Von, who grew up in Chicago and reunited in Atlanta with friend Lil Durk.

"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," the Lakers star tweeted.

Social media users are outraged after someone leaked graphic photos of slain rapper King Von’s body laying on an autopsy table.

The 26-year-old Chicago rapper died while in surgery at Grady Memorial Hospital. The photos were likely taken after his body was taken to the morgue across the street from Grady Hospital, where autopsies are conducted.

The autopsy pictures were originally posted on an Instagram account believed to belong to Timothy Leeks (aka Lul Tim), who was arrested Saturday (Nov. 7) and has been charged with King Von’s murder.

While it hasn’t been confirmed, people are saying that Leeks is Quando Rondo’s half-brother, and Quando Rondo runs his IG, so it’s believed that he’s the one who shared the photo (considering the fact that Leeks is in jail right now).

The images were quickly deleted, but of course, this is the internet where nothing is truly ever deleted, and they have since begun circulating across IG, Facebook and Twitter.

Chicago gang members are known to post autopsy and/or open casket photos of deceased “opps” (opposition/gang rivals) in an effort to disrespect them … but this latest act is so disrespectful that many social media users are up in arms, and are trying to figure out how the photos got in the hands of the wrong people in the first place.
