Chicago rapper King Von — real name Dayvon Bennett — was one of three people killed in a shooting that involved police outside of an Atlanta lounge.

The 26-year old rapper’s publicist, Erin Ryan, confirmed his death in a statement.

“He was a devoted father, a deeply loyal friend, and a man who took care of his people before himself,” Ryan said in a statement. “We are heartbroken for his family, his friends, his team, and his fans. Long live King Von.”

The altercation begin around 3:20 a.m., when two groups of males started arguing with each other outside of Monaco Hookah Lounge, 255 W. Trinity Ave. SW.

Two off-duty officers, who were helping out at the lounge, tried to intervene and opened fire as well. Reports also said their was another off-duty cop on scene who was patrolling the neighborhood.

“Three of the persons shot in the incident have died as a result of their wounds and three others are being treated in area hospitals,” police said. “The officers were not injured.” The identities of the other people who were shot have not been released.

King Von was taken to the hospital in a private vehicle, but was later pronounced dead.

Several people in the hip-hop community have posted messages of condolences on social media, including fellow Chicago emcee Chance the Rapper.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was asked to investigate the officer-involved shooting.

“Part of the investigations will include determining which individuals were struck by gunfire from the suspects and whether any were struck by gunfire from the officers,” police said.

Last month, King Von released his album “Welcome to O-Block.” The album featured appearances from Moneybagg Yo, Polo G and Lil Durk.

Sending condolences to his family.
