EMPIRE, the record label of Chicago rapper King Von, has released a statement following his death.
“We are devastated by the untimely passing of King Von,” the statement began. “He was a loving father, dedicated member of his community and an amazing talent that just started to scratch the surface of his boundless potential. Von overcame incredibly challenging circumstances as a young man, but never lost sight of what it meant to give back and uplift his community – O’Block.”
Police say King Von was one of three men shot and killed on Friday morning in Atlanta. At first, there were reports that Von had been killed by police — but police say he was shot by members from another group of men and was shot before they arrived on the scene.
