The public’s interest in the 2020 shooting death of Chicago rapper King Von has increased after a federal jury found rapper Lil Durk not guilty in his widely publicized murder-for-hire trial on Friday.
Who killed King Von?
ABC News had reported that Leeks also suffered gunshot injuries and was being treated for the same in police custody. Federal prosecutors had alleged that Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Devontay Banks, financed a murder-for-hire plot targeting Quando Rondo in retaliation for King Von’s death. Prosecutors reportedly viewed the shooting as an act of self-defence or defence of others during the confrontation.
He later secured a bond for $100,000 while awaiting trial, according to Complex . Shortly after Leeks was taken into custody in 2020, police closed Von’s murder case. he has never been charged in connection with King Von’s death Although Quando Rondo was present and shot during the 2020 altercation.
As a result, no one has been convicted or sentenced for King Von’s death.
Authorities had arrested Timothy “Lul Tim” Leeks a day later and charged him with felony murder. Leeks was able to appeal to the Superior Court and be given the opportunity to post bail Although murder is a “non-bondable” crime in Georgia.
However, the verdict does not change the legal status of King Von’s homicide investigation, which ended years earlier without anyone being convicted.
