Holdin' Down The Culture
The tragic news of Chicago-Rapper King Von being shot & killed after he and his entourage were involved in a shootout with Quando Rondo and the Georgia-bred Rapper’s entourage outside of a popular ATL nightclub has taken on a third dimension. Two other people, as of yet remaining officialy unidentified, were also killed in the shootout. Reports from local Atlanta media outlets are now indicating King Von may have possibly been killed by local police officers in uniform who reportedly were working off-duty. Also, it’s important to note that King Von was unarmed at the time he was shot and killed.
Authorities overseeing the murder investigation are working to learn if anyone shot directly at the officers. None of the off-duty, in-uniform cops were injured. Due to the fact that officers were involved in the shooting the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been asked to assist in the investigation. Find the news clip from Atlanta Fox 5 below discussing the matter.
