What Happened The Night Of King Von’s Murder
It’s November 6, 2020, and in Atlanta, King Von was fatally shot. Quando Rondo is spilling the beans on what happened that night.
Earlier today (April 12), the first part of a multi-part interview with The Breakfast Club radio host Angela Yee featuring the Savannah, Ga. rapper Quando premiered on his official YouTube channel, where he explained his side of the story regarding the fight that ensued between his crew and King Von’s.
“The alleged killer of King Von, Timothy “Lul Timm” Leeks, is mentioned by name in the Diary of a Lost Child lyric: “I walked to the car, I told my brother, I said, ‘It’s this amount to park right here.'” “I firmly stated, ‘I’m not entering that club.
See if you can track down a cute little girl or whatever you’re looking for, buddy. You’ve got fifteen minutes, buddy. If so, I’m going to take a swim. We’re about to head back home.”
In addition, Quando Rondo reiterates the rumor that he was sleeping in a car when the shooting occurred last year outside the Monaco Hookah Lounge.
“According to my sibling… A.K.A. “Lil bruh,” “I’m not about to let you sit in no car and go to sleep,” Lul Timm relayed to me.” That’s what Quando has to tell you. “I’m about to settle in for a good long roll-up. After some consideration, I finally said, “All right, bet.” I’m going to back up my companion that I came here with now. I’ll wait by his car until the park.
This is a $250,000 car, so as soon as they park here, we’re going to park right next to it. I’m going to wait right here until they arrive. Once they do that, I’ll go to sleep in the backseat. Today, I’m with my main guys from day one. I have the ability to succeed. One thing I can say about him is that he will always look out for my best interests.”
Final Words
The Atlanta police are also investigating the deaths. Investigators will try to figure out who was hit by shots fired by the suspects and who was hit by police bullets. Bennett’s representatives could not be reached for comment right away. Ghazi Shami, who reportedly started Bennett’s record label, posted on Instagram, “My heart is heavy. Sadly, another promising young person has been cut down in their prime.
Little bro, I say a prayer for you and your loved ones every day. He continued, “We need to figure out a better way. Far too much needless bloodshed has occurred. This can’t go on any longer. Please, God, save us. #RipKingVon.”
