Lil Durk just scored a huge win
after getting his attempted murder charge dropped,
but the DA said his homie King Von
would’ve been booked for the same shooting if he was still alive.
And that’s not the only court case
Von would be facing if he didn’t die in 2020 -
today we’re breaking down all the bodies he allegedly caught,
and which charges he only avoided
because Lul Tim took him out before the courts did.
Earlier this week,
the Fulton County DA’s office
announced that they were dropping their case against Durk.
They put out a statement saying '
“The facts of this case have been reviewed
and, although it appears that probable cause existed for the defendant’s arrest,
the decision of the District Attorney at this time is not to prosecute.”
Back in 2019,
Durk and Von were booked after they allegedly robbed and shot a dude
named Alexander Weatherspoon in Atlanta.
According to police reports,
they had an argument with Weatherspoon outside a cigar lounge
and at some point shots started popping off.
A bullet went into Weatherspoon’s leg and hit his artery,
but he managed to survive after he was rushed to the hospital.
According to cops,
Durk and Von knew Weatherspoon
had $30K in cash on him
and that’s why they robbed him.
And during a hearing,
a detective on the case said Durk was the shooter.
He said he has video evidence of Lil Durk’s arm out the window
firing several shots at the victim.
You see Mr. Banks arm
out the window firing several shots,
at the victim, towards the victim.
When the news broke that Durk was wanted,
he flew straight back to Atlanta to turn himself in.
Before he actually went to the cops,
he told Channel 2 Action News
We found out we got a warrent,
I was actually on tour,
Once I heard, I immediately came back.
Because I have nothing to hide.
Like I have nothing to run from.
On the same day Durk went back to Atlanta to be arrested,
he dropped the track Turn Myself In and rapped
“Look up at the judge,
can’t look, state makin’ up lies for sure
I’m an innocent man for sure,
it is what it is for sure
Nobody gon’ ride,
had a warrant, so I can’t hide
India gon’ stay by my side,
I did a song with Chance tonight
He givn’ positive vibes to better my image for life
I turn myself in tonight,
head down with these ‘cuffs on,
just read me my rights.”
Luckily Durk beat the case
and don't have to worry about getting booked,
but we couldn't say the same for Von
if he was still around.
The Atlanta DA would still be trying to charge him
with attempted murder,
and the cops in Chicago have three murders
they think Von is responsible for.
The first murder charge
they allegedly had on Von
was for the death of a dude from STL/EBT named Modell.
Back in October 2012,
Modell was walking down the street with his cousin Miles
when somebody started letting off shots.
Modell and Miles both got hit,
and Modell later died from a chest shot.
Miles was a high school football player
xwho wasn’t involved in the streets,
but he got caught up in the situation
because of Modell’s affiliation with STL/EBT.
Luckily he survived the shooting,
but it changed his life forever.
He was hit five times
and was kept in a medically induced coma for weeks,
and after he woke up he couldn’t walk anymore.
The cops originally thought Von’s homie T. Roy was behind the hit,
but according to a leaked report,
they now think Von was the shooter.
Rumors say Von and T. Roy
were both there when Modell was killed,
and the day after he was shot
Von tweeted
“Me and T.Roy gotta problem…
we jus cant stop doing are Thingy Thang and All dat.”
Malcolm Stuckey was a college basketball player
who was going to his friend’s birthday party.
Von was at the same party,
but he spotted some opps and left.
He came back later with a dude named Big Mike,
and that’s when the situation got turnt up.
According to Big Mike’s police testimony,
the opps spotted Von
and him and started letting off shots while they ran away.
Von and Mike started shooting too,
and Von yelled “Why you running?”
Big Mike hit one of the opps in the jaw
and Von caught one in the foot,
but Malcolm Stuckey
was tragically caught in the crossfire and killed.
The police brought Big Mike in for questioning
and he snitched on Von and told them everything.
He agreed to testify in court in exchange for a light sentence,
but then he changed his mind and refused to cooperate.
Big Mike’s testimony
was the biggest piece of evidence against Von,
so when he decided not to take the stand,
the court had to drop his case.
Instead, they put the whole thing on Big Mike
and sentenced him to 28 years.
Von also allegedly shot a dude from Jaro City named P5
According to rumors,
Von, J Money, and T.Roy
ran up on P5 and shot him over 15 times.
And while Von was locked up for Malcolm Stuckey’s death,
a female shooter from STL/EBT named K.I.
allegedly clapped back and killed J Money.
This leads to another case
Von would be fighting right now for the murder of K.I.
She was an infamous killer
who allegedly helped set off the war
between STL/EBT and O’Block
when she took out a dude named Odee Perry.
K.I. was close friends
with a 15-year-old GD named Tooka
who was allegedly killed by the BDs in 2011.
After he died, K.I.
allegedly slid into opp territory
and killed Odee for revenge.
She became one of O’Block’s biggest opps,
and allegedly even tried to take out T.Roy’s sister.
Von and K.I. had a weird relationship
where they would flirt on social media one day,
then send death threats the next.
Von even admitted that he had a crush on K.I.,
but they were still opps and he allegedly ended up killing her.
On April 11th, 2014,
K.I., her brother FBG Butta,
and another friend were walking to their homie FBG Wooski’s house.
K.I. dropped her location
on social media, which turned out
to be a deadly mistake.
The opps saw where K.I. posted her location,
and they used the opportunity to pull up
and take her out.
According to leaked reports,
“witnesses related that the victims were at the location
of 6451 S. Eberhart Dr,
at which time an unknown Male/1
wearing a grey hoodie and blue jeans approached the victims.
The unknown offender then produced a handgun
and began firing in the direction of the victims, striking all three.”
The police brought Von in for questioning after K.I. was killed,
and according to paperwork
he gave two different alibis.
But even though his statement was suspicious,
the DA decided not to prosecute
because they didn’t have enough evidence.
Rumors were flying
that Von was responsible for K.I.’s murder after it went down,
but it wasn’t until last year
that the police confirmed he was the lead suspect.
Von was never booked for K.I.’s murder,
but leaked documents show
that the cops were trying to tie the Modell case to hers
and use the evidence to convict him for both shootings.
The document says
“It was determined that if/when
the Cook County State’s Attorney charged BENNETT (Von)
with the murder of BARNES (K.I.),
attempts would be made to re-interview the potential witnesses
in the McCAMBRY (Modell) case.
It was hoped that their cooperation
would be more forthcoming if BENNETT (Von) was in custody
and charged with First Degree Murder.
The hope was that the witness’s fear of retaliation would be lessened
if BENNETT was charged and in custody.”
But before the cops could finish the investigation,
Von was shot and killed in Atlanta.
It’s not clear how much evidence they really had against him,
but it’s not easy to beat three different murders
and an attempted murder case too.
What’s interesting about the situation
was how some of Von’s opps
hinted at his involvement with Modell and P5’s murders.
P5 also went by the name Crack,
and after Von died
his brother wrote
“We caught 2 we ain’t get the last one
(I know) crack mad the gang ain’t get his b**** ass.”
And his cousin wrote
“Y’all just don’t know how much I prayed for this day
#KingCrack.”
Then Billionaire Black posted a photo of Modell on his IG Story
after Von died.
Von clowned the opps for Modell and P5’s deaths
while he was alive,
and it looks like he was really behind the hits.
Fans are still upset about his death,
but Charleston White says
people shouldn’t be celebrating a dude who allegedly killed so many people.
Charleston White is a YouTuber
who used to be in the streets,
and he told DJ Akademiks
King Von was known to be a killer.
A man who killed black people.
A man who was accused of killing a black girl…
He’s celebrated, right?
You got celebrities who take pictures in front of his mural.
What about his victims’ family?
When AK said Von’s death was unfortunate,
White clapped back and said
F*** that idol.
That idol is a demon.
A self-proclaimed demon.
N****, I don’t ride with demons…
What about these victims over here who nobody shining a light on?...
So, when I look at King Von’s circumstance, I don’t say it’s unfortunate,
I say that was a man that worked hard to die.
King Von was a talented artist
who was on his way to the top of the game,
but he also had strong ties to the streets.
It’s not clear how many murders he was really involved in,
but if he was alive today
there’s a good chance he would be locked up.
And even if he had a violent past,
nobody should be celebrating death no matter who the victim is.
Hopefully the families of his alleged victims can find closure and move on,
and Durk can keep Von’s legacy as an artist alive
with his own music.
Rest in peace to everyone who lost their lives
in this tragic story.
