Are the Leaked King Von Autopsy Images Authentic? Separating Fact from Viral Hoaxes
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
The sequence of events began in the pre-dawn hours of November 6, 2020. An altercation broke out in the parking lot outside the Monaco Hookah Lounge on Trinity Avenue in downtown Atlanta. The dispute pitted Bennett's crew against associates of Georgia rapper Quando Rondo. Surveillance footage and bystander recordings showed a physical brawl quickly devolving into gunfire.
Gunshots struck multiple people, including Bennett. A twenty-two-year-old affiliate of Quando Rondo named Timothy Leaks, known street-wide as "Lul Timm," was identified by the Atlanta Police Department as the gunman who opened fire. Police quickly placed Leaks under arrest while he received treatment for his own gunshot wounds at Grady Memorial Hospital. In August 2023, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office formally dismissed the murder charges against Leaks under Georgia’s robust self-defense and defense-of-others statutes.
Bennett was rushed in critical condition to a nearby trauma hospital, where emergency surgeons attempted life-saving interventions. He died shortly after arrival. The Fulton County Medical Examiner assumed custody of the body to conduct an official forensic examination. The autopsy report findings established the King Von cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds to the torso, cataloging catastrophic vascular trauma. The medical examiner’s office completed standard procedural protocols, documenting injuries under strict chain-of-custody rules, before releasing Bennett's body to his family for funeral arrangements.
