The rapper King Von is dead after a gunfight broke out near an Atlanta nightclub.
The Chicago native was just 26 years old.
TMZ reported that a fight between two groups of men outside the Monaco Hookah Lounge in downtown Atlanta escalated to shots being fired.
A total of six people were allegedly shot with three staying at the scene of the crime and three others running away, but still ending up at the hospital.
Three of those shot died from their wounds, including King Von, though it’s unclear who shot him.
The outlet further claimed that there were several police officers already present at the scene and they also opened fire as they confronted the gunmen.
No police officers were wounded in the shooting.
King Von was an up-and-coming rapper in Atlanta, dropping his first single, “Crazy Story,” in 2018 and was affiliated with Lil Durk.
