“The case against Mr. Leeks was dismissed prior to ever being indicted,” the attorney relayed in a statement after speculation circuited online suggesting that his client was no longer being prosecuted over the Chicago rapper’s killing.
King Von (real name Dayvon Bennett) was shot on November 6, 2020 outside an Atlanta hookah lounge following a dispute between his crew and Quando Rondo’s entourage. Six people were injured and three were killed.

Lul Tim, who was also shot during the deadly altercation, was arrested on murder charges in March 2021. He was later released from police custody shortly after posting a $100,000 bond.
King Von’s former girlfriend Asian Doll responded to the news of Tim’s charges being dropped in a since-deleted tweet over the weekend.
“Because the police said Tim ain’t kill him the police did,” she wrote.
Footage following the shooting leaked online earlier this month, and showed O’Block member BossTop being handcuffed and asked a few questions by responding officers. At one point in the video, he is seen being led away from the scene while asking if Von is “good.”
In an interview with Angela Yee back in 2021, Quando Rondo opened up about the deadly shooting and claimed he and his crew acted in self-defense after being attacked by King Von’s entourage.

“I’m thinking these were some regular individuals,” the Georgia native said at the time. “So I’m letting this group come by. Next thing you know, a n-gga hit me. Boom bow. I lie to you not. It’s like I had an out-of-body experience.”
Lul Tim was arrested again in October 2022 on an array of unrelated drug charges following a high-speed chase with police in Georgia.
