Authorities in Atlanta charged Quando Rondo’s friend, Timothy Leeks, 22, with murdering the 26-year-old. Leeks was hospitalized for a gunshot wound at the time of his arrest.
King Von was on the rise. His latest musical effort showcased his impressive storytelling skills and cemented his place in rap’s Drill scene which originated in his hometown.
