King Von is one of the newer rappers in the Chicago hip hop scene.
With his hottest track “Crazy Story” doing over 30 million views on the WorldStarHipHop
YouTube Channel at the time of this recording, King Von is making a rather impressive name
for himself in chicago hip hop.
But what makes King Von’s career even more iconic is the fact that King Von hasn’t
even been rapping for a year yet and also claims that the only reason he got into rapping
was because he's “done everything else” and not because he had some sort of knack
for rapping.
And what King Von mainly means by that is that he’s done almost everything when it
comes to the “streets” so all he has left to do is tell his stories and experiences
through his music.
Even though King Von doesn’t have an extremely lengthy rap sheet like some of his peers,
King Von definitely has a more unique criminal history due to the outcomes of some of his
cases.
Well without further adieu, here is an exclusive inside look at the criminal history of King
Von.
King Von’s first run ins with the law were not very well documented due to the fact that
he was a minor at the time of his arrests but luckily he gave a little bit more detail
of those arrests in an interview with DJ Smallz Eyes.
In the interview, King Von mentioned that his first arrest was for an armed robbery
where apparently King Von robbed someone at gunpoint and stole their car.
When King Von was caught, the police sent him to a juvenile detention center where the
charges against him were ultimately dropped due to King Von being so young at the time
but the only way to make this deal work out was the judge requiring King Von to attend
a bootcamp for a certain amount of time.
For the other 3 arrests, King Von gave almost little to no details but apparently one of
them was for possession of a firearm.
King Von didn’t say how this case ended but we can probably assume that King Von was
sent to a juvenile detention center and probably got convicted but under a certain type of
condition where it gets taken off his record when he turns 18.
King Von also mentions that he was locked up at one time for 15 months and the time
before that for 14 months.
Von gave no details as of why but it apparently happened.
King Von’s next arrest happened when he was only 19 years old in 2014.
According to authorities, King Von was at a party when a guy named Malcolm Stuckey was
“steady eyeballing him”.
King Von must have took offence to this because he then grabbed his friend Michael Wade and
left the party in a gray vehicle.
Around 45 minutes later, King Von, and Wade returned to the party but parked in an alley
near the home.
The two then got out of the car with loaded guns and headed to the front of the residence.
Malcolm Stuckey and two other people were sitting on the front porch when King Von and
Wade opened fire on them.
Stuckey and one other man fled down LaSalle Street but both ended up getting shot.
The other man on the porch was shot as well as he was attempting to run inside the house.
In the end 3 people were critically wounded but Malcolm Stuckey unfortunately got shot
in the head and died later that day.
After the shooting, King Von and Wade ran back to their car and fled.
Both of them ended up getting arrested days later.
During the investigations, Over 20 shell casing were recovered and Wade even admitted to police
that he fired a gun 15 to 16 times at one of the victims.
King Von on the other hand refused to talk to the authorities.
The two were held without bond and were facing life in prison for charges of 1st degree murder
and 2 attempted murders.
After sitting in jail for 3 and a half years, the trial finally began.
The trial lasted a total of 5 days and the outcome is honestly surprising.
Wade got sentenced to 28 years in prison while King Von got acquitted of all charges.
After 3.5 years in the Cook County Jail, King Von was free.
Since his release, King Von was staying out of trouble and began rapping.
Von also moved to Atlanta to be around his good friend Lil Durk who is also an extremely
successful rapper.
With a promising future ahead of him and all while being surrounded by many other successful
people you would think that King Von would never risk all of that to commit some stupid
crime but that sadly is not the case because on May 17, 2019, King Von was arrested once
again in Fulton County Georgia.
Sources say that King Von was involved in a shooting that occurred on February 5, 2019
at the parking lot of the Varsity in Downtown Atlanta.
Officers apparently responded to a call at around 5:45 a.m. after gunshots were reported
in the area.
When they arrived, they found a 23 year old male shot to the lower extremities.
The man was found outside of his vehicle in the parking lot and was taken to Atlanta Medical
Center in serious condition.
Thankfully he survived.
After 3 months of investigating, Police determined that King Von was the alleged shooter and
eventually ended up arresting King Von moments after that conclusion was made.
King Von is still locked up to this day and is being held without bond.
Sources close to the situation say that the man King Von shot was attempting to rob him
and that this was all done in self defense.
Internet detectives are speculating that King Von will get 3 years, while others say he
will get off completely for self defense.
Another large majority claim that King Von is done for.
I guess only time will tell.
