Narrator: King Von came in a game telling his story
with his crazy flow and storyline lyrics probably makes him one of the best storytelling rappers.
But King Von hasn't had the easiest come up, almost being convicted of murder and two counts
of attempted murder. King Von is even lucky to have made it out the bloody streets of chicago.
This is Top Trend TV and this is the criminal history and biography of King Von.
Dayvon Dequan Bennett aka King Von was born on August 9, 1994, in the Parkway
Garden area of Chicago Illinois, better known as Oblock the most dangerous block in Chicago.
King Von is associated with the BD's which is the black disciples an infamous Chicago gang that
is known for their violence against rival gang members the GD's. King Von grew up and was raised
by his mother and his stepfather. His mother and father wasn't together when he was born,
and his father was in jail throughout his life. He says he met him when he was about eight years old
but his father died soon after getting out of jail.
He mentions in an interview that him and his stepfather's relationship was pretty good
but, growing up in the streets of Chicago took a hold of King Von quick only at the age of 15,
from robbing and stealing to shootouts. King Von was arrested at this age for his first
charge of armed robbery and carjacking and did a couple months in boot camp. Having all the
charges dropped and King Von being so young, he continued to live a street life and carry guns.
But King Von got locked up again not too long after, for having a gun and got 15 months. Getting
out again but going back not too long later for criminal damage to property and reckless conduct,
plus it looks like they had a warrant out for his arrest too
getting arrested Saturday, June 17th, 2014 and then getting released Sunday, June 8th,
2014. But a little bit over a month later King Von got arrested again for two counts
of attempted murder, and the shooting death of Malcolm Stuckey. Dayvon Bennett aka King Von 19
years old was arrested and charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder,
for the may 19 shooting in the 5700 block of south Lasalle street authorities said.
Plus the guy that King Von was with Michael Wade 23 was previously charged with two counts of
attempted murder authorities said, Bennett and wade left the party in a gray vehicle
but returned about 45 minutes later and parked in an alley near the home prosecutors said.
The men allegedly got out the car with loaded guns and headed to the front of the residence,
Stuckey 19 years of age, and two other people were sitting on the front porch. when two gentlemen
approached authorities said, Bennett and Wade opened fire on the porch according to prosecutors
and added that Stuckey and other men attempted to flee down Lasalle street but was shot. Stucky
was shot in the head and died later that day according to Cook county medical examiners,
the 23-year-old man who attempted to run down the street and 24-year-old men who attempted to
run inside, were both wounded police said. And after the shooting Bennett and Wade ran back to
the car and fled Wade admitted to the police that he went to the party to act as muscle for King Von
who was going to confront a guy who was steady "eyeballing" him, Wade further admitted to firing
a gun 15 to 16 times at one of the victims more than 20 shell casings were recovered.
King Von ended up doing three years in prison for this incident but later beating all the charges
for the incident. King Von says when they said he wasn't guilty it was a crazy feeling for him,
plus while he was in there he was playing around with rapping but wasn't taking it too serious.
But he says when he got out about a month later he says he was in Durk's basement when
he made his first song. Durk told him and Zoo to come to his crib after they beat their case
ZOO is King Von's homie, that beat his case around the same time as King Von beating his case
with two different cases but same charges, which is pretty crazy. And Durk helping
Von through the way made his first song named beat that body, Durk approving the song was fire,
King Von decided to take rap serious dropping his first song of august 2018 named problems.
And after he dropped it his city went crazy with over 5.5 million views of this recording.
King Von seeing his true potential decided to drop his next song named beat that body featuring his
right hand man Zoo, this song has over 3.9 million views of this recording and then King Von dropped
crazy story and this song put King Von on the map and really solidified him as an artist, with him
truly telling a crazy story throughout the song really makes you feel like you in the song with
him. And he dropped this on December 31st, 2018 and the OG version has over 17 million views,
but not too long later he did a remix with Lil Durk that did even better with over 40 million
views of this recording. Then King Von went to drop many more songs and albums including,
all three different parts of Crazy Story and three different albums including Grandson
Levon James and Welcome to Oblock. Another time King Von was arrested was back in 2019 when
Atlanta police found probable cause to arrest Lil Durk and King Von on five felonies, warrants were
issued for Lil Durk and King Von in connection with a shooting that happened in February outside
of an Atlanta restaurant the Varsity. Where Lil Dirk dropped the song around the same time named
"Turn Myself In" where he professes his innocence and directly addresses his recent legal troubles,
Lil Durk and King Von turned themselves in on may 30th. Lil Durk: "found out we had a
warrant we actually was on tour once i heard I immediately he came back he's willing to turn
himself in" and take care of what he needs to take care of we immediately canceled the tour, he's got
a multi-million dollar salary music career going". Did you do it did you shoot this man did you
commit the other crimes that your accused? Durk: "No" warrants involving an incident in february on
north avenue involved charges including criminal attempt to commit murder and aggravated assault,
one document indicates an atlanta police investigator said to the best of his knowledge,
Banks was employed or associated with a criminal street gang to conduct or participate
in gang activity, shooting at the victim while co-defendants shot and robbed him, is he involved
in a gang? "No" They say at 5:49 a.m February 5th witnesses saw 23-year-old john Witherspoon
in a verbal altercation with an unidentified group of men.
Shortly after the verbal altercation 18 shots were fired at Witherspoon, who was hitting the thigh
he ran across the street to the one cigar bar and lounge. Where the staff
called an ambulance for him, Witherspoon was admitted to the hospital in serious condition.
At the time detectives said cameras captured the crime, but their and King Von were confident
that the evidence would be on their side. The judge granted King Von and Lil Durk
bond for $250,000 and I believe the case is still going if you know comment below.
But despite all of King Von's music success King Von was shot and killed on November 6th of 2020
in Atlanta Georgia. It was around 3:20 a.m when King Von approached Quando Rondo
in the parking lot at a hookah lounge in Atlanta Georgia. Where the two ended up
fighting and it looks like in the video King Von was getting the best of Quando Rondo.
But as the fight occurred Timothy Leeks Quando Rondo's right-hand man got out a white
SUV and shot King Von one time in the back leaving him in critical condition. King Von's manager says
on the way to the hospital one of the people that was in the back was panicking,
and King Von was the calm one and trying to calm everybody down. Unfortunately
later on in surgery King Von died. unsure if Quando Rondo is being charged or anything,
but Timmothy Leeks his right-hand man was charged with first-degree murder and is an ongoing case.
King Von wasn't in any relationship at the time of his death, but in the past she used to be with
the rapper Asian Doll. Who has really expressed her feelings online throughout this process.
But King Von had two children and unsure of their situation, but King Von's family would get
all of his music royalties. And throughout this whole time, Lil Durk has deleted his Instagram
and hasn't spoken out any about the situation. It is very unfortunate that somebody so young and
talented had to lose their life over something so simple. But my prayers go out to his family
and in no kind of way was this video made to disrespect King Von or create any kind of tension,
just to give a background about his life and his criminal history and to keep his name alive.
But that'll be about it for King Von make sure you like
