Here's my warning to the end. All right, let's get into it, man This if you'd like to see an uncut version of this video with everything that I can't show you on you Access to my recent vlogs with academics and Adam 20 access to my exclusive It could never show you on YouTube But if you're Nate ease gangsta rap just sit back enjoy the video and hit that subscribe button ever since the 1980s Gangsta rap has been one of hip-hop's most fascinating sub-genres from the mean streets of gang infested Los Angeles That were brought to life by early gangsta rap pioneers like ice cube and NWA to Tupac and Sugni Taking over the music game with vivid tales of gang affiliated rappers who would bully their way Into the music industry and then you have legends like Jay-Z and 50 cent whose tales of life in the streets as gangsters made the Millionaires hundreds of times over for decades now rap fans have been looking for the realist artists Lyrics paint the picture of a real life of crime that isn't embellished or fabricated But when it comes to rappers who truly keep it real the Chicago drill scene has dominated for the last decade first popularized by Chief Keith the Chicago drill wave was characterized by rappers that grew up in the most dangerous blocks in America with these up-and-coming Artists rapping plainly and honestly about what they experienced growing up shootings on the block Disrespecting dead enemies and constantly being chased by the police Chicago drill rappers took gangsta rap to raw new heights Stories behind the music could be matched up with the local news reports on the latest homicides However, what happens when the people doing the killing start making the music too? Because in the years after Chief Keith popularized the violent stories of Chicago gang life One of those gangsters killing people in the streets picked up a microphone to And everybody a lot of people's eyes Started rapping in the first person from the perspective of the actual killer King Von had a reputation in Chicago as a fearless killer before he'd even started rapping and it's widely believed based on the Statements he made in his own songs that von himself could have killed as many as seven people in his career as a gang banger with More murders even taking place after he got rich and famous with it being rumored that von used his money and Influence from the rap game to have old enemies in Chicago killed and going on a journey Which in my opinion takes him far beyond a street player who had to kill to survive in the mean streets of Chicago Because if King Von's tweets or anything to go by he simply loved killing people and the sheer amount of people that King von Allegedly played a role in killing has led to intense speculation as to The worst person in Chicago like that that's like this is the crazy part For y'all that should be with a crazy part. He's just the most notable person It's a lot of this in Chicago that's giving it up like this Whether he was a full-blown serial killer a title which King Von's enemies even said that him and his friends took personal pride in now The FBI defines a serial killer as a person who kills over three people with time spans in between them of more than a month Furthermore serial killers tend to have an element of psychological gratification Which plays a role in the motive for their murders the FBI also state that serial killer might seek various kinds of gratification Through their killings such as anger thrill seeking financial gain or simply for attention I personally believe that over the course of his career King Von demonstrated all of these characteristics and can indeed be classified As a serial killer King Von frequently exhibited behavior in public that conformed with these rules Tweeting regularly about his desire to kill bragging about having committed specific murders in his music Which attracted him international attention and billboard charting songs with his drill anthems about murdering rivals Making him a rich man with millions in his bank account. The FBI also point out another characteristic of serial I wonder where I'm used an AI to do this Just a tight tug the and chat GBT King Von Killers for three and a half hour Specifically that their victims may all have something in common for example a demographic profile Appearance gender or race and it would appear that King Von only killed young black men and women from the community He lived it these were all people just like him being born into a rundown part of Chicago Growing up with a lot of disadvantages all that really separated Von from his victims With the fact that they were from a rival territory and he believed that nobody The way y'all the way y'all would believe it is there's way more Black disciples in Chicago, but there's a heavy population in GD's in Chicago. There's more GD's in Chicago than black disciples, but the black disciples are just More popular He would miss them King Von has officially been implicated in four murders to where he was suspected of being involved But the police didn't have enough evidence to charge in one case where he narrowly received a not guilty verdict after a key witness Disappeared and a co-defendant implicated himself another that he's accused of organizing with five of his closest childhood friends The shooting of rival rapper FBG duck in broad daylight at a busy shopping district Von will never face justice for due to him losing his life only months before the busy shop. This was crazy Now when he say busy shopping district, he's downhunted because he's not from there This is the this is the like let me let me try to put it in perspective for y'all Barney's or or what's what's the popular mall in the UK and every every rapper go to This is that for us in Chicago It's it's he was in the Viagra Chuck circle Viagra triangle. That's what they call it. He was right off the vision and State I think it's the vision of state the vision of state It used to be a popular nightclub right there This is where all the elderly Men go to mess with Like 21 this is where 21 year old women go to find sugar daddy Gucci's right there. It's real heavily It's up there. I'm talking about like money is over there He's down playing it almost like real Dale drive. Let me put it that way In district von will never face justice for due to him losing his life only months before the feds would swoop in and arrest All five of his close friends. This particular murder would go down as one of the most brazen assassinates all five of his close friends This particular murder would go down as one of the most brazen assassinations carried out in Chicago Since the days of Al Capone, but in total there's over 10 murders of which King Von has been connected to over the years Nobody has looked into all of them in great detail until now So today we're going to take a closer look at the man his past and his career to find out once and for all if King Von really was the first serial killer in hip-hop history Two murders one murder and two attempts four shooters and a hail of bullets Several shell casings in this parking lot King Paul was bloodthirsty. He loved death. He loved killing Just breathe. I'm gonna be I think King Von had a satiable obsession with murder and violence Shooting leaves one person dead for others injured If I didn't have a reputation in Chicago before rap I heard of on before he started rapping From some of my West homies told me about fine. I was like, hmm Okay, and then when I see me started rapping, I'm like, okay, bro, try to change his life around. That's good Yeah, I see I don't really be speaking on Chicago rappers because that's neither here nor there for me I'm probably gonna be considered like a serial killer if your business kept on employees to the pandemic King Von real name Dave on Bennett was born on August the 9th 1994 in Chicago in Annoy Growing up on West 78th and South Hermitage in an area known as killer ward an area This is getting this stuff right you did some research Yeah, I'm from killer ward. Okay. We are mainly affiliated with the Chicago gangs the gangster disciples Black peace stones von would attend Barton elementary school in the air. My family is black peace stones But despite starting life as a fairly normal kid in Chicago He would be subjected to the influence of gangbanging in his family home from a young age His father was Walter E. Bennett aka silk a well-known street dude from nearby Ada Park Von was mainly raised by his mother as his father was in and out of jail throughout his childhood But Von's father was apparently a legend in the streets with ties to the street gang the black disciples However, much like Von despite the fearsome reputation. He'd earned in the streets It would ultimately be this proximity to gang life that would lead to his father's demise as King Von's dad silk was shot Dead when Von was only 11 years old apparently being targeted by a sniper outside of a skating rink According to an interview with King Von's uncle rest of peace. Can you lie rest of peace silk? That's crazy. I'm with big bro every day. My killer's daddy was sniper rifle. This this I know that that's crazy Somebody got tactical. You're deep though. You know, I'm saying yeah, yeah sniper I hit him with a sniper rifle. Yeah, that's a game ring, but you know, that's another story It seems clear that King Von's Father silk was remembered as a legend of the block However, coping with the loss of his father at such a young age clearly had a negative effect on the mindset of a young King Von he would tweet and rap in free styles years later that he simply couldn't sleep after his father's death And throughout his teenage years he would post RIP tributes to his father on Twitter to commemorate his birthdays Naturally Von would follow in his father's footsteps getting involved in local gang politics at a young age with Von actually telling 16 shot and visuals in his very first interview that he got involved in the streets in fourth grade Eventually getting his hands on guns by the time he got to high school Yeah, like late 8th grade 7th grade when It really got to that point where you gotta hurt somebody or somebody trying to hurt you You gotta protect yourself Von would rap on the unreleased song wait that he jumped off the porch getting deeply involved in gang politics in 2006 when he was just 12 years old Von would initially be a member of a local street crew affiliated with the gangster disciples called killer ward being seen in Numerous group pictures with that crew and affiliates from the area would later post tweets Suggesting that Von was indeed putting in work for this crew during his time gang banging in killer ward with Von himself Corroborating that he was close to the members in killer ward where he was born But making it clear that he's always been a member of the black disciples due to his family affiliation Now Von would live around killer ward up to around 2008 or 9 after which he would eventually move to the infamous Parkway Gardens Housing development this housing complex is notorious for its affiliations with the black disciples street gang Parkway Gardens would later be Referred to by insiders as oblock but prior to that it was referred to as wick city And here king von would meet many of the people who would end up having a huge influence on His life and career people famous for their affiliation to oblock whether through the gang wars going on there Or through the music that had been made about the gang war people like boss top chief kief teabroy white white Duke bj big a trey 5 Sheroid j money Petun countless other people that played a big role in von's life growing up von would also attend a new school in the area the Hyde Park Academy where he would attend with people from other rival territories with affiliations to the gangster disciples people like FBG duck who would even claim in a Twitter exchange in 2014 Yeah, I don't know maybe I don't know but Chicago is real clicky He told plotted to beat king von up on the school bus and people like lil mark Who von would even be seen in throwback pictures with before their feud had escalated into something deadly von and his friends Started out their gang banging careers with fistfights with the opposite school schoolyard scuffles that would unfortunately escalate over the coming years Developing into full-blown gang war with firearms involved Over time a teenage von would begin getting more and more involved in chicago street gang conflicts Apparently bringing guns to school as young as age 13 chop squad who went to school with both von and g herbo Would claim that von would even show off guns in class with it apparently being von himself Who started the trend of teenage gang bangers in their school bringing guns to class You buy my type of person to bring a pole to school at 13 for Like that's what me and her was talking about he was like her was like he knew it was real When von walked up to him in school. He was like he had flashed a pole or something He was like curve knew every day from there. It was up. He was like, oh, we're bringing guns school You know what's that like? Oh, it's on He's like every day from there he brought every day from there everybody brought guns school He's like von. It was the one to start that off In fact g herbo would even later rap about this on a collaboration with von called face time Saying that von showed him a revolver in freshman orientation An experience which led g herbo to begin bringing guns to school himself too Now king von was apparently out of control as a youngster according to one Story von actually did a shooting on prom night whilst wearing his suit After literally tweeting out that somebody better not try him in his suit So naturally you can imagine von ended up spending a significant amount of time in trouble with the law as a teenager With large patches of his most formative years spent inside jail cells von went to jail for the first time around august 2010 at age 16 for armed robbery Apparently robbing someone for their car at gunpoint something that he would actually later refer to on his song armed and dangerous Saying that he was arrested on august 11th two days after his 17th birthday when he was offered 21 to 45 And all of that I was aged It was for assault and battery. I was aged I was in seventh grade Whatever however old you is in seventh grade Five years in a plea deal von would end up spending time in bootcamp an intense military style I got I got away with community service though Doovan our program ultimately rewarding him with early release But soon after that initial charge von would catch another in january 2011 Ultimately spending 15 months behind bars as a juvenile being locked up between december 2010 and march 2012 And during this time of incarceration von's best friend tearoid would tweak calling for his release eventually in march 2012 von would be a free man once again But he was only free for a matter of months from march to november 2012, but during this time von would undergo a transformation Going from a gun toting stick up kid to a full fledged killer after witnessing the death of one of his close friends Which as he put it turned him into a demon Okay, I don't know if y'all know about that, but like and I think this is worldwide man What something something can change you especially in chicago though Especially in chicago It'd be little moments in life that can make you go left or right It could be little moments in life that can make you listen to that the devil on your shoulder or the angel on your shoulder It's just depending how your mind is, you know, I'm saying especially in chicago it'd be hard to like let stuff go because Even before music people was you know, being annoying. They'll talk about it That oh, yeah, we did this this and that this this and that it'll just be the streets be pulling on you Like it's crazy Before we get into the first murders that king von was allegedly involved in I just want to take the time to consider the real reasons why he would be motivated to kill in the first place Despite covering a lot of gangsters who are hardened killers It's important to consider the social circumstances that need to exist for a teenage boy to start committing murders Firstly, these areas where king von grew up in south side chicago kill award and o-block are incredibly poor and dangerous areas with the last Yeah, it's better do it too I forgot I didn't even mention that because it's so normalized but like A part of the devil pulling on you is like you got nobody that's positive in your ear You got a bunch of people around you that's going through the same stuff That's going through the same exact household things the same exact Friends losing the same friends Like nobody in your ear like man, just be the bigger person. Let's just do something that nobody's in your ear like that in the right So even being described by the local Sun Times newspaper as the most dangerous block Everybody that's in could be in your ear like that is locked up On the big homies that know better like they like in Chicago Part of the reason why so many of these gang murders in Chicago go unsolved is due to the failure of policing in these areas Someone like king von grew up seeing death and destruction as a completely normal thing And if the police never come to your area to solve crimes or deliver justice It's easy to see why you would place more trust in street justice than in the state Furthermore, you really have to ponder whose fault is it really that somewhere like o-block ended up being so poor and dangerous While it's easy to blame the gangsters and killers there for cultivating a lawless environment The city and the state politicians ultimately have failed to create the economic circumstances for someone to grow up safely in these areas Had there been better economic prospects in the hoods of Chicago Perhaps many of these young men wouldn't have been forced into a life of crime and violence Furthermore, when it comes to the analysis of king von's eventual transformation into what some have described as a serial killer There's actually an argument to be made that geography may have played a part in king von feeling like he could get away with so many murders I'm glad you said this trap I'm glad you said this instead of just going right into it and doing this and that I'm glad you Covering your bases And making sure you make say all possibilities The 70s of the 2000s have actually been described as the golden age of serial murder And one possible cause for this phenomenon around this period has been cited as urbanization And the concentration of inner-city living Some people have said that putting so many people in such close proximity ends up offering a unique level of anonymity when it comes to Committing crimes in these complicated busy and overpopulated areas Put simply this means that in oblock the sheer amount of people overlapping gang conflicts and normalization of violence on the streets Means that somebody like king von could kill multiple people without attracting too much attention to him personally As sad as it is to say in the eyes of the cops a victim is just another casualty of the gang war Rather than a specific crime that could be solved and it's these circumstances That were the perfect conditions for a young king von to begin killing people in his community with minimal consequences And whilst king von was in jail gun violence had raged on between the black disciples from wick city and the rival gang I grew up in a heavily gangsta gd area of north In chicago on the north side It's called uh the north pole If y'all want to go look it up chicago north pole That's where I grew up I was born in evinston with my mom. We moved we lived In the jungle. That's what it's called. It was called the jungle Um, it was all howard and jarvis. We lived back in the jungle back there and then we lived on john quell Then we lived Then then we moved like right on the border of evinston and um evinston and uh north and chic in howard Um howard is the street that separates the first suburb which is evinston from the first piece of the city on the north side, which is uh rogers park so I was born in evinston, but I lived in rogers park if y'all get what i'm saying rogers park is the jungle um It's some of it is in the north pole and then uh you got Yeah, y'all know y'all wouldn't even know what i'm talking about, but yeah, that's what I was from Next to disciples from st. Lawrence and eberhardt. It's all gd's over there where I was from and kings Or vikings, whatever you want to call them vikings mulls stones Yeah My avenues or stl eb but where I was it was it was it was mulls and gd's T and during this time whilst king von was incarcerated a 15-year-old gangster disciple from the rival hood by the name of tuka Was murdered real name shondale greggory tuka was shot dead at a bus stop on the 600 block of e 63rd street on the 12th of january 2011 At around 648 p.m. It was around that time that a masked gunman jumped out of a vehicle shooting tuka several times tuka was hate and what's crazy is you know i got family and uh in the uh From the low end and I got family in the hundreds the wild hunnits, which is Which is heavily gangster disciple as well and the wild hunnits in the hundreds um But a lot of the time like on the north side The south side like we not even connected like that'd be they'd be that'd be over there What they got going on over there is what they got going on over there Even like like A mile away what they got going on over there. That's their business Do nobody you know I'm saying so A lot of the time we just be minding our business Hated by his rivals from the black disciples and over the next decade bd's would continue to disrespect him on social media And in popular songs and like like honestly like this this types could tell me more than I'm Yeah, you can tell me more than I mean y'all think I would know In honor of their fallen friend gangster disciples from st. Lawrence and eberhardt would rename their area tucaville It's never been fully revealed to the public who killed tucca, but ever since there has been intense speculation that a boy named Tucca before I moved my boy john My boy he lived on uh 63rd and st. Lawrence And I used to go to his crib You know we used to do whatever we used to do And uh, that's Yeah, it's wild over there. I'm talking I pull up pipe pipe on my lap already. I don't care even though even though Even though it's a You know even though it's a neighborhood without that I'm familiar with the people that be in there, but it's like At the same time if somebody pull up and they'll know you and you sitting in the car They're gonna they're gonna they're gonna press you they probably won't even press you they get on you So you got to be very very vigilant out there You can't really be waiting You can't especially because it was it was wartime when they lived over there. You can't really be waiting. You can't be sitting in the car You can't be doing nothing like that Houdi perry from wick city might have had something to do with it This is partly due to him being pictured regularly with a silver revolver and the witness report from the tucca murder stated That tucca was actually shot with a long bowled silver revolver regardless of whether or not Od was really the person who killed tucca. That didn't really matter because later that year on august 10th 2011 in an act of retaliation od perry was killed just outside parkway gardens He would suffer multiple gunshot wins including one to the neck about 11 35 p.m Just like tuccaville wick city was also renamed in the memory of their fallen friend od Oblock and it's believed that one of the shooters who killed od was a female teenage shooter by the name of jacquire Barnes or ki following the murder Ki would begin to pose on social media with a silver revolver Similar to the one that od was known to carry and her rumored involvement in this murder of a beloved oblock member Would lead to ki becoming a major target herself with matters not helped by the fact that she would regularly tweet Insulting od perry and alluding to have having killed him along with others who would openly claim that ki made the o Meaning that she killed od and was the one that caused wick city to change the name of their block to oblock But the tragedies and oblock were far from over on the 18th of october 2011 Another oblock native by the name of petun real name edward reilly would be shot dead inside oblock after being approached by two people With firearms another devastating loss to the community would come when 19 year old charoid liggins Would be shot in the head and left for dead on february the 16th 2012 also a oblock This murder was particularly notable for the fact that it was believed that charoid was killed by a tuccaville shooter By the name of boss trell as the gang war in his neighborhood continued to take more and more More of his friends lives king von would get more and more involved Continuing to play a role in the gang war going on in chicago street underworld Von later rapped on the song don't want to be me that everything changed for him in 2012 And that this is when he decided to get more active in the gang war with von saying specifically that the deaths of od and petun Completely changed his plans and led him to put on a mask and get active in the gang war now There's a lot of speculation about In chicago, that's a moment in every every street because every every Against everybody who jumped off that port. It's a moment that that really changed their mindset It really is a moment About the exact murders that von was allegedly involved in and we might never know definitively if he was truly involved In all the violence that he was rumored to be associated with but the very first murder that von was associated with Took place on april the 28th 2012 when a group of four men would catch a man called king doc real name marlon runroe Shooting him as he walked into a convenience store with doc apparently stumbling into a patch of tall weeds after the shooting Where he would pass away and lay undiscovered for hours doc would eventually be found dead by his 16 year old cousin modell mccambry doc would be remembered as an original native of st. Lawrence and eberhardt avenues with his affiliation to the area Likely the reason that the killers from oblock would target him despite the fact that doc had apparently left the gang life behind him Becoming a painter to get out of the streets apparently Hurt by the death of his cousin modell That boy who discovered doc body would then begin to get more involved in the gangs in the area too Beginning to hang around with people like ki and fbg duck as well as being seen on social media with guns In fact, it's actually around this time that social media begins to play a bigger and bigger role in the gang war in chicago And during this time king von himself would become a prolific user of twitter beginning a flurry of activity on the platform After signing up in june 2012 and going on to tweak this my exact thoughts about twitter when i first got on it Overly weak. I thought it was weak. I still don't really use twitter, man I still don't really use twitter, but constantly about his activities in the streets seemingly with no fear about von was on the blackberry Oh, yeah 2012 Going on to tweak constantly about his activities in the streets seemingly with no fear about incriminating himself von would openly claim to be drilling in the name of od perry He would say that he was like finneas and furb in the streets with his best friend and fellow oblog shooter t-roy Warning ops not to diss them claiming to shoot people like it's nothing He would tweet that he's been drilling from young and even wants to kill cops too He would say outright that he will whack people He would regularly diss numers rival hoods and gangs and be claiming to be paranoid due to having so many people Trying to kill him von claimed on twitter to get so enraged whenever he hears the name too My last two years in chicago. I was overly paranoid Overly paranoid I'm not gonna say why but, you know, I was overly paranoid Per or st. Lawrence that his trigger finger just starts itching But during this time that von was tweeting openly about all the crimes that he was willing to do in the streets These crimes would continue to play out on august the 7th 2012 von would make a tweet saying that homicide is in the air and that it smells like a graveyard Then in the early hours of the morning the following day on august the 8th 2012 a group of guys from oblock rumored to include king von and t-roy would be out looking for enemies to kill dirty rel Real name to rel joshua an older member with affiliations to st. Lawrence eberha and jarrow city who had actually moved out of chicago But was back in town would end up being shot dead and found on a sidewalk on the first block See, this is why it'd be hard for me to go back. I've been gone a year and I don't really like see That one time you go back it'd be the one time that somebody catch you Fock of east 56 three in washington park just before 3 30 a.m. However in this case retellie My baby mama was trying to move across the street from washington park. I was is you crazy? No creation would come fast as the day of august 8th 2012 goes by that same evening around 11 30 p.m King von is out with his close friend white white real name tony dunn They would go to a convenience store together on east 63rd street and south martin luther king drive Here von would go inside the store whilst white white 63rd street and south martin luther king drive Here von would go inside the store whilst white white waited outside at this point A gunman pulls up shooting white white in the back with a police officer on the scene Even returning fire and hitting the shooter who ultimately managed to escape white white would be pronounced dead in the early hours of the morning on august 9th 2012 This day just so happened to be king von's 18th birthday This was a devastating incident for von who'd tweet numerous times about the murder of his friend whitey Including this one where he said that he had just bought whitey a pill and gone inside the store only coming back outside To find a crowd surrounding his shot friend Friend and at first believing that whitey would be okay after this von would tweet Messages saying that this killing is what led him to act out and in the days following He would be pledging to kill his enemies publicly von later elaborated on his mindset around this period in his song demon Saying outright that witnessing the death of his close friend whitey on his 18th birthday is the exact thing That turned him into a demon and von would rap that after this him and his right hand man T-roy would be doing hits back to back to avenge this tragic loss von would apparently be trying to kill much more ruthlessly after this desperately wanting to get a rival shooter's k.I And woosky who had mocked white white's death on twitter in september 2012 king von and others caught k.I On the train apparently beating her up and mocking her on twitter in the aftermath von would eventually catch up with k.I In much more deadly circuit treacherous on that red line That's the train talking about the red line. It's two trains man. It's two trains. I used to I didn't even used to think about it when I was in chicago because it was like every day you take the train It is what it is. I take the red line To do the red line take you from the north side a high word all the way to 95th It was that train in the green line them the two trains man a certain point in the green line to get real real real Real questionable Answers but not for a couple of years for now He would continue to gang bang in the streets with his oblock brothers like t-roy Ultimately winding up implicated in numerous murders as he continued to seek revenge for the murder of white white And one body at a time building up a fearsome reputation as one of oblock's most ruthless killers While in now new season thursday april 6 at 9 on vh1 I'm gonna lie every time I got on the red line. I was clutching I ain't even gonna hold you It was what it was security analyst boot cap There used to be a homeless dude on the red line, right after you move after you get it was it might be Before you got the downtown coming up from north from the north side It was a homeless dude. He would ask you for change and if you said no, he would spit on you I promise you one day I saw a bro on the train dude like and he was coming my way I was sitting down. I was sitting in the corner because I don't like to have my back to nobody on the train Like it's like no, I like to sit in the corner so I can see everything So I can see somebody coming. I can see what's happening. I've seen them coming. I stood up my hand was I had a north face The north face is in my My closet I had a north face. I still wear that north face to today I had a north face and I had a big pocket right here I just reached in my pocket like this Looked at it Like I know what you be on. Don't try it not try it. Don't not do it Everybody ears ringing in this don't do it. All right Chicago drill veteran take a poem would tell 16 shot visuals in an interview that if you hung around king von in 2012 You simply had to accept that you would be in shootouts if he was hanging with on you had to accept everything They came with on you had to accept that you was going to be in shooting Except that he it was going to be dead and you had to be with it You feel me with on king von was on a mission in 2012 to get revenge for the friends that he had lost to the gang war Losing od cartoon and white white turned him into a demon. He said So he would spend every day in the streets of chicago Stalking his ops and broadcasting his activities on twitter for the whole world to see on september the 6th 2012 von would get arrested even taking selfies for twitter inside of the cop car He would post pictures of him and his partner in crime t-roy Dubbing themselves the oblox savages in fact after posting one picture together One woman from oblox even suggested that von and t-roy stopped being photographed together in case somebody sends it to the police von would tweet how him and t-roy's names were bringing in the streets And that people were praising them for doing their thing regularly using this as a catchphrase to refer to his drilling Tweeting warnings to the ops that he's about to go on their block and do his Thingy thing telling them that they have two hours to clear the streets and promising to blaster them on site von would even reflect on a conversation that he had had with t-roy saying that they can't die soon Because they know they're going to hell for all the bad things they had done in the streets von would even openly tweet about shooting at dunbar high school around this time And unsurprisingly he would continue to be in the eyes of the law being picked up in october for battery But little did the police know just how serious von's crimes were about to get in the coming weeks On the 13th of october 2012 von tweeted that he is about to pop these pills and spaz out on somebody Expressing frustration that he hasn't taken anybody down for a while and saying that he's getting dry Perhaps a tweet with a double meaning that could refer to sex or murder that very same day von would tweet that his ops party tonight Is getting cancelled later von is tweeting asking for somebody to come and get him and 30 minutes later von tweets simply Ha followed by 45 glock me that very night of october the 13th 2012 modell that same teen who had found the body of his cousin king doc dead just six months before Would be walking down the street with another one of his cousins on their way to meet a girl When just before 9 30 p.m. Somebody approached them on for opening fire modell would be shot in the chest and later pronounced dead in hospital No one was ever charged with this murder or attempted murder But many years later police documents would be released revealing that king von himself was positively identified by a witness As the shooter with t-roy apparently at the scene too This meant that king von was the prime suspect in the murder and not only that but king von would tweet immediately after the killing Now it's important to remember that twitter timestamps run on universal coordinated time That's the same as uk time and that's where i'm reading these tweets from which is six hours ahead of chicago time So for me to get the exact time of a tweet that was made by king von or ki or somebody else in chicago I have to take the time that it shows on twitter and minus six I'm telling you this because modell was shot around 9 30 p.m That means that king von tweeted who died about 17 minutes after the murder of modell took place And that tweet was followed by yet another one reading It's not safe around our way which came Wow, we're so leaving that digital digital footprint less than an hour after the shooting and von's who died tweet Would provoke responses from somebody who even knew modell with von saying that the dead person is somebody that they know In addition to that exchange the female shooter from tuccaville ki would end up getting arrested not long after this For apparently shooting indiscriminately into oblock hoping to kill anybody in retaliation for modell None of this seemed to bother king von however as he clearly got a lot of satisfaction out of having seemingly killed again The day after the murder of modell von would tweet that him and t-roy have a problem And that they can't stop doing their thingy thing von would tweet that the streets are in trouble when he's coming And he keeps saying thingy thing like that even a thing never said that before It's not uncomfortable. He would brush off the cops attempts to arrest him In fact only two days after the killing he would get into an argument with a well known tuccaville gd Known as woosky on twitter woosky had inferred that he had been out looking to catch von that day Asking him where they were at with von leaving a heartless reply saying that he was getting t-shirts made for modell's funeral Unsurprisingly von would find himself on the radar of the police following the murder of modell getting picked up for unlawful Possession of a firearm and being questioned in october 2012 with von later tweeting that the cops Was like like maybe even FaceTime each other like and it would sound like y'all cool until you hear something crazy Grabbed him and warned him to be careful Apparently the cops even told von that when they questioned their ops They all talk about him and t-roy suggesting that their names are feared in the streets von would even tweet after that that his own mother was beginning to hear the rumors about his violent behavior in the streets And she was trying to put him on punishment But von wasn't deterred and he kept using twitter to increase his reputation as a killer The following month von would be sending unprovoked twitter ads at woosky asking if he knew who killed modell Provoking responses from numerous ops who wanted to see von dead including woosky and ki and to me This is where we see king von really beginning to take pleasure in killing for years to come He would tweet mocking modell saying it's messed up what happened to him and that he's a straight sucker It's this sort of behavior where I believe that von crosses the line from a normal gangbanger Killing to survive to a full-blown serial killer who is taking the lives of others systemically for his own personal gratification At this point von has already satisfied the conditions of being a serial killer having allegedly killed more than three people In different locations with large periods of time in between the killings and his tweets express a clear tendency To take pleasure in killing and a desire to show the world what he's doing In a way king von's purpose in life at this point in time wasn't just revenge and murder for sport It was about doing these crimes and giving the world clues about what he had done And as the story goes on you'll see king von constantly hint towards his crimes of social media in his music and even on television But now the pattern had emerged and von clearly had a thirst for blood He was becoming a talented shooter and not facing any consequences for these crimes And so in the coming months von would be rumored to have been connected to at least three more murders With the police only catching up to him when it was too late Hyundai Sonata versus Honda In late 2012 von was earning a reputation as a feared shooter in the chicago gang wars Something he would be more than happy to broadcast to the world von would be seen in clips posted to social media Sliding in cars with his partner in crime t-roy and others growing up gang signs and saying that they're smoking tuker Love Both of these ideals And he'd be seen with his boys mobbing deep in trap houses And von would even broadcast his activities rolling with the gang to the local store von was surprisingly open about his gang banging life on social media And he would be particularly active on twitter during these violent months He would tweet openly that he was planning to shoot at random people in traffic He would tweet that he is stlk or a saint laurence killer and interestingly around these times on the 18th of october 2012 oblock native chief keith would release his hit song love sosa a legendary chicago drill anthem with lyrics about killing people Disrespecting oblock at this point in 2012 chief keith had become a global rap star off the back of his single I don't like which was given an all-star remix by Kanye West and ended up landing at number 73 on the billboard charts That song had lyrics about the gang wars in chicago and lives being lost and chief keith music was becoming legendary for painting A picture of reality on chicago's most dangerous block Of course who could forget chief keith's classic anthem three hunter a song with lines all about the youngins on his block Gunning people down and a track that made it famous to diss tukka with black disciple rappers beginning a trend of saying that They're smoking on tukka a sign of disrespect to shondale gregory who had been killed in 2011 Now king von himself had an interesting relationship with chief keith's music von would tweet that him and tee roi Are the real life people who these rappers are making their songs about von seemed proud of his career as a real gangster The true story behind chicago drill music in fact it seemed from his tweets that he took great pride in this He would regularly quote lyrics from drill songs by chief keith and others And he would continue with tweets expressing his intentions to shoot up the ops In one he says he just got a new gun and can't wait to use it And he even claimed in one tweet to have shot a woman by mistake trying to shoot a man ending the tweet saying I don't care same thing to me It seems that von really had to tweet pretty much any street activity that he was involved in during this time He would tweet that he hasn't touched or seen a revolver in a while and on october the 29th von would tweet saying that he was avoiding tee roi because he was winning presumably referring to tee roi having a superior kill counter So von would tweet literally saying that he was trying to catch up with tee roi's kill counter Saying give me until friday and just the day after this tweet He would find what he was looking for on october the 30th von would tweet that it's his main man tee roi's birthday And later that day von tweeted that he was drilling like od at 8 45 a.m von tweeted check the stats a reference to who has the most bodies in the ongoing gang war According to the police less than 30 minutes after this tweet was made at around 9 13 a.m p5 aka crack real name derrick johnson would be Doing this for breakfast He shot multiple times in the 6200 block of south eberhardt avenue The 23-year-old was rushed to the hospital but pronounced dead at 9 54 a.m The incident report would record the time of the shooting as 9 13 a.m in the chicago No, I had a girl. I mess with this one girl who did something like She used to work And like i'm like in the community on an o-block like right down the street It was for some serious Time's up which on twitter for me like she would have to take a bus get off a bus Park in the parking lot and walk through the neighborhood. I was like, yeah Okay, we'll display as 3 13 p.m. That means not not through parkway, but like Through that surrounding neighborhood that just three minutes before the time of the shooting von tweeted laughing my arse off Then at 9 13 the time that the police estimated the shooting took place von tweets His 45 makes his ass do 40 flips and then only a few hours after this early morning murder Just after noon von would tweet the early bird catches the worm and then going on to tweet about ops making the news Saying that he does his thingy thing for real saying that he erases people like he drew them For real saying that he erases people like he drew them and tweeting that his ops aren't trying to win like he is And saying that he is doing this for od And white white von would claim to be finding a lot of things funny that evening once again tweeting numerous times That his 40 made someone do 40 flips as the days went by von's tweets would get even more bold Just the day after the murder He would tweet pondering whether he was messed up in the head and indicating that he thinks he's gone crazy Things would get even more incriminating just two days later when von put out a tweet reading damn Modell got killed in october and crack who's going to get killed in november stay tuned as he would tweet R.I.P crack and modell as well as tweeting asking when the funeral is von would even reply to k.i And wooski who tweeted each other about going to a funeral with von saying that he was on his way too And even offering them a ride von also tweeted at wooski There's one funeral home in chicago that stay getting shot up Asking if he knows who made modell world or crack crew another reference to crews renaming themselves after a fallen member Who's passed away now at this point von is establishing a clear pattern getting the location of his targets Shooting them dead and then celebrating publicly on twitter and within only a few weeks of the p5 incident Yet another high-profile murder would take place with von's involvement having been debatable But his twitter account telling a very different story In november 2012 king von would be tweeting openly about killing he'd say that he was the go-to guy for hits in his area He'd also say that he was the captain of the drill team tweeting about murder and homicide Saying that he's a hitter by himself and that the whole of oblox are coming for their ops He would even tweet that he was sacrificing people as well as bizarre tweets about how much he liked serial Something that i personally believe was a coded message indicating that von was beginning to see himself as a serial killer Something that he would continue to do throughout his career beginning to see Himself as a serial killer something that he would continue to do throughout his career From here von would continue tweeting about wanting to shoot his ops in the face and get up close and personal Alluding to committing murder and tweeting that he had big balls and does things that other people would only dream of doing King von would boldly tweet that he will never get convicted of a murder Saying that he would never set himself up to go down for a body He would mock his ops saying some make it out alive and some make it onto the news and die Also during this time von would even react to barack obama winning the 2012 election Something ironic considering the fact that michelle obama apparently also hailed from oblox But even in celebrating this monumental news von would also tweet that a black president with ties to his city Simply wouldn't stop him from killing his ops on november the 7th 2012 von would tweet about bodies dropping and beating the case Later that evening he would tweet that he was out sliding with t roy who he why his lyrics sound like he was already practicing rap I mean why his tweets sound like he was already rap practicing rap like these is low key bars He himself would also tweet saying that he's about to go and get his gun Before replying to ki who had just tweeted a list of a bunch of names of people associated with oblox Who had been killed with t roy retaliating providing his own list of people from ki's hood who they had apparently killed As well as tweeting hashtag bang just after midnight Then the following morning the news would report on the shooting of a 17 year old by the name of rodney stewart Aka boss trell boss trell had been found with a gunshot wound to the head Around 6 50 a.m. And was immediately rushed to hospital and he would even remain alive for several hours during which time He was visited by friends from the neighborhood like fbg cash But while boss trell was in the hospital fighting for his life von and t roy would be tweeting t roy tweeted man down Only hours after the body was discovered with von tweeting hashtag To struggle prompting t roy to infer that von was behaving like the police von would follow up on this tweet saying that people aren't dying on time And t roy would also tweet mockingly saying no trell stay alive Then in since deleted tweets allegedly by king von he would suggest that he had actually spent the day Trying to get ki on the phone. However, boss trell would be pronounced dead that night at 11 30 p.m On the 8th of november 2012 and the following day king von would take to twitter once again to mock boss trell And his ops he would tweet that stl doesn't stand for st. Lawrence But instead for steady taking else another tweet would drop with king von telling people Don't worry about who killed who just be glad that you didn't get killed and shut up This was followed by another tweet aimed at boss trell saying lol You ain't a boss to me Many theories suggested that t roy and von and possibly others were involved in this murder Some have said that it was t roy others have said that it's von or potentially even the two of them together But It is worth mentioning that there's an alternative theory that boss trell was actually murdered by someone completely unrelated to this Feud who was apparently trying to retrieve a gun that had been taken from him But regardless of who was responsible von and t roy were certainly happy to see boss trell gone And they would continue to tweet boldly about it publicly their ops on twitter would warn t roy over the disrespect But for king von tweeting about the murders going on in the streets was a must von would post saying that the ops are dying frequently and that he doesn't plan on slowing down He would say that he will kill an op anywhere and once again reference serial Saying that he eats cereal after shooting people another hint in the ongoing joke that von is indeed becoming a serial killer von would even mock the ops for having funerals. He simply didn't Care what anybody thought it seemed that von was hellbent on killing his enemies And he would be hellbent on tweeting every single time something negative occurred in the streets However von's days would be numbered and following the next hit that he was implicated in I don't know about that that to me it just not like a read he would tweet once again Perhaps a little too recklessly this time finding himself behind bars for over a year I know trap made a crazy bag on this video with all these commercial He ain't for old nines how about to say non skippable is crazy, ain't it? little james After the deaths of modell p5 and boss trell you would think that king von would have kept a low profile But no he would continue to tweet suspiciously while the killing continued However, when the next person lost their life king von's tweets would go to a whole another level of self-incrimination And he would actually find himself on the wrong side of the law on the 19th of november 2012 32 year old man named james holman aka lil james would be standing on his porch on the 6000 block of south michigan avenue Around 8 20 p.m. At this point four people would approach his property Opening fire shooting him in both the arm and chest with him being pronounced dead in hospital less than an hour later Only 23 minutes after this murder von would tweet man not on anything followed by another tweet reading clown ass von was mocking somebody But we didn't know who or what for meanwhile troy would put out a tweet asking if somebody got shot yesterday And then only six hours after the shooting von would tweet that he kills gd's often And then in another rare deleted tweet that somebody else from oblock quote tweeted just 21 minutes later von would apparently brag that he has killed five gd's and shot 10 with a later news article Even confirming that james holman the man who was killed most recently was indeed a gangster disciple Furthermore a police report on the lil james murder would describe the shooter's height and build which apparently matched von's description Now von tweeting that he had killed five g Listen to any type of music that come up out of that side because it is I respect it bd's after the death of lil james is particularly interesting because there's always been a lot of speculation on exactly how many people von had killed And who specifically he was responsible for killing and at this point in time von had been associated with six murders in total So if von himself is apparently confessing that he has killed five people at this point Then it's likely that just one of these murders he had nothing to do From here von would continue to tweet throughout the day saying things like dissing him will get your people killed And another asking openly who made crackblock another reference to the murder of crack or p5 Unsurprisingly the authorities would catch up with von just three days after the murder of lil james Perhaps they'd read his tweets von's capture would be confirmed by a tweet from his sister from his own twitter account Saying that he would be in jail for thanksgiving with von's charges later being revealed as unlawful possession of a firearm Numerous mugshots of von would later circulate online and von would end up in jail for over a year for a period spanning from november 2012 to february 2014 and in the meantime his mother sister and friends would all tweet from his twitter account calling for von's freedom And keeping his name alive However von's sister would also tweet that von told her that when he gets out of jail He's just planning on killing more people and ultimately none of the more serious Charges would even stick to von and he would eventually end up being released back onto the streets of oblox where he would has expected Immediately get back to doing what he loved drilling and then tweeting about it Get back to doing King von's sister would announce from his twitter account on february the 11th 2014 that he would be home from jail tomorrow with footage of von Come on, let's go From his twitter account on february the 11th 2014 that he would be home from jail tomorrow with footage of von cutting off his ankle monitor and throwing up gang signs circulating on line after I ain't got to do it all man You don't even mean to go back that far Perhaps they'd read his tweet It was just something that shocked me I see The von's more serious charges would even be expected immediately get back to doing 11th 2014 that he would be home from jail tomorrow with footage of von This right here This is the most menacing I'm talking about this is one of the most craziest First of all First of all black air force ones we know what we associate them with already no von kept appear Then he cut off the ankle monitor and he got on white socks with black shoes He's moving different He would be back on the streets and involving himself in gang politics once again His first tweet out was dissing the ops, of course He would also openly wonder where T-Roy went as apparently his partner in crime had ended up in jail himself during this time Also upon his release von would also tweet at famous names in the Chicago drill scene like boss top little Reese chief keith eday rondo number nine He would then go on to diss two people that he allegedly killed modell and crack but at least initially it didn't appear that von was able to commit any more acts of violence Because apparently following his release he would wind up on house arrest for a short period But that didn't stop him from posting pictures of himself at home dissing tucker with a gun sticking out of his pocket Pictures of von with famous bd hitters like T-Roy and D Rose would circulate around this time with the likes of chief keith even reposting them as a sign of respect for the most feared local shooters With von also sharing pictures of his crew to Twitter openly with the caption simply reading gang members von would also tweet about it being a very scary year for the ops Even tweeting disrespectful collages featuring photographs of rivals who had been killed recently von didn't care one bit what he was posting on Twitter And honestly it didn't seem like the police cared either von tweeted openly that he will kill someone on st. Lawrence Promising to shoot ops in the face and kill them fast dropping mocking tweets about people he had allegedly killed like modell He would pledge to drop even more bodies even tweeting that he was shooting as soon as he Y'all want me to react to this it's like what y'all want me to say Like I can't really say nothing on none of this You know how many people like this probably like this is probably stirring up anger and so many people and it's not chat fuck He's got he the news he got to do this but just this is just like people are reliving all of this stuff because of this You know I'm saying I'm pretty sure people's indexes DMs is like because you know how the internet get man He got off house arrest and tweeting that he just got a new gun and he wanted to do a drive-by with it Now on March the 25th 2014 GD rapper Lil Mark associated with a crew called 051 would drop a song called No Competition This would be a remix of Black Disciple rappers Lil Dirk and Lil Reese's 2013 song competition Lil Mark would essentially use Lil Dirk's beat to diss him and his OTF crew from Lamron But it wasn't just Dirk that was getting dissed. Lil Mark would diss numerous people associated with the Black Disciples Including people from both Oblock and an affiliated crew of BDs known as 600 Lil Mark's song would mock O.D. Perry and Jay Money and see him rapping openly that he is a Black Disciple killer As well as proudly repping his affiliations to his gangster 051 Young Money This song made Lil Mark a huge target for both Oblock and 600 In this period King Von would frequently tweet that he was in for both Oblock To his gangster 051 Young is a Black Disciple The song would mock O.D. Perry and Jay Money and see him rapping openly that he is a Black Disciple killer As well as proudly repping him for both Oblock Riding around the city armed and looking for odds to kill On March the 28th 2014 Von would tweet that he was in traffic Tagging D. Rose an infamous shooter from the Oblock affiliated set 600 With D. Rose himself tweeting that the cops hate to see Von T. Roy and him all together Von would tweet gunshot emojis around 10am on the 28th of March 2014 And only a few hours later that very same day around 1.30pm It's believed that a large group of gang members were riding around in a silver minivan with Florida license plates Most likely a stolen car Meanwhile a 20 year old Mark Campbell aka Lil Mark was at a bus stop on the 300 block of East 53st Street It's believed that that minivan pulled up and a masked man jumped out shooting Lil Mark in the head With Mark ultimately being pronounced dead at the scene only minutes later at 1.41pm And that minivan connected to the shooting being found in flames at 6.30pm that very night It's widely believed that D. Rose was the shooter with King Von being present for this murder D. Rose even posted a clip to social media of him and his friends returning to the scene of the crime and filming Where King Von can allegedly be heard in the background of the car D. Rose would tweet callum never heard of him with a laughing face just 36 minutes after the killing King Von would tweet just 42 minutes after the shooting die why with a bunch of laughing faces With this being a sign of disrespect to Lil Mark's gang 051 young money That tweet was then followed by Von saying 051 better keep their head up with a bunch of laughing emojis Then he says he lives for this f the ox and just in case there was any doubt about King Von being present for that murder He would also reply to somebody on Twitter discussing Lil Mark saying outright He just saw the murder with King Von going on to tweet at other oblock affiliates that they would be celebrating that night Von was speaking so recklessly on Twitter His sister would even tell him to go in the house with the defiant Von replying to her with gunshot and demon emojis Then tweeting that Lil Mark's death was getting him attention Von was on Twitter crazy Hey Twitter will block me for the lightest thing but like that then It was letting it fly on this And from women even going as far to say that Lil Mark's pregnant girlfriend might have cheated on him Followed by another tweet a few days later where Von claimed that he leaves people dead at the bus stop just like Tuca A tweet that's even more disrespectful when you learn that Lil Mark was actually Tuca's older brother Dee Rose would also tweet the day after the murder saying you ain't got to ask who shot him Indicating that he was indeed the shooter of Lil Mark As well as proudly saying that he was smoking on Marco But Von and Dee Rose weren't the only ones celebrating the death of Lil Mark Because Lil Dirk, the original subject of Lil Mark's diss song No Competition Released just three days before he was killed would end up making a trip to the very bus stop where Mark was gunned down With Dirk telling his followers that this was a very special place Hey, this is a bus stop right you know? This is a real famous place, yeah? This is a real famous place, big Hey, this bus stop is a real famous place, big I ain't gonna ask you Because of all of the attention from rappers about this incident Lil Mark's death became news beyond the local Chicago papers With this killing taking place during the heyday of DJ academics war in Shy Rack series Where academics would report satirically on the Chicago drill scene and the shocking crimes going on within it King Von himself would even go on to rap about killing people at bus stops many years later As well as on the song Exposing Me where he says that he is smoking Lil Mark and Tuka And Lil Dirk would go on to do the same thing Wrapping in the December 2014 track War with E Day 600 Also saying that he is smoking Lil Mark and Tuka Now it's never been definitively confirmed who killed Lil Mark But it's widely believed that the two most likely hitters are Dee Rose or King Von But whether or not King Von actually did it He clearly got a lot of gratification from just witnessing this murder Further fueling this strange bloodlust that he was cultivating around this time If he wasn't the one killing then he would at least want Front Row C and an opportunity to tweet about it However, it would be the next murder that would seemingly be Von's most proud moment in the streets Because he would end up finally catching somebody who he had wanted to get for years Leaving clues on Twitter all the way up to the killing And then in an insanely twisted turn Not only would Von get away with the murder But he would go on to appear in a documentary interview about the victim Without anybody even working out that the killer that they were looking for Was sitting right in front of the camera I don't know how true this is but I feel like we all know like, or we can trust that he didn't do this one 17 year old gangster disciple, Jakai Rabans, aka K.I. Was a legendary figure in Chicago gang history With the Chicago Sun-Times describing her in a prominent feature As a prolific female assassin in the Chicago gang war K.I. has been described as the real life snoop from the wire A reference to the masculine female killer from HBO's crime drama K.I. herself had been close with Tuca growing up And her rumored involvement in the killing of O.D. Perry in retaliation Would make her feud with Oblock deeply personal No doubt King Von was obsessed with K.I. Von and K.I. would have extensive back and forths on Twitter With it being unclear whether he was trying to date her or kill her Their first interaction occurred on September the 25th, 2012 When Von would tweet claiming to have beaten up an op girl on the tree With K.I. replying to this saying their arm, ear and face were injured But she's not bothered because her gun will put a hole in her ops faces With the tweet the following day indicating that she had I've seen this Perhaps shot at Von or somebody that he knows They would go on to have a back and forth with Von asking K.I. if she's a gangster or a bitch With K.I. indicating that she is indeed a real gangster Von would go on to reply to her posts shouting out her gang Asking her why he never sees her when he spins the block With K.I. replying that Von can die just like White White With Von saying she better kill him because he will kill her And she doesn't have the good aim like he does That same day K.I. would tell her followers to retweet if they think she looks good King Von retweeted it K.I. would tweet saying that she'd beaten up someone from Oblock And that they should go and tell Von that she is tough This would prompt a reply from Von where he would say he can tell that she's tough And jokingly asking her if she's looking for a boyfriend As well as expressing doubt that she had even beat up his friend With her replying saying she'd caught an Oblock member on the train Who had denied being from there when beaten up With King Von's sister chiming in claiming to have been there too And K.I. saying that her victim didn't even punch her back All this provoked a sarcastic reply from Von Where he said that he thinks he was falling in love with this fighting female Von would later post treats where he said that he's going to treat her right If she becomes his wifey And later beginning to regularly refer to her as wifey When K.I. replied to Von Von would say that he has her on his mind a lot And that he misses her Even telling his sister that he wanted to marry K.I. Now many years later Somebody on 4chan would claim to have hacked K.I.'s private DMs on Twitter And revealing that around this time Von had DMed K.I. asking her if she wanted to hook up Or more specifically saying he wants to nail her She would reply saying she's not interested To which Von replies When all of this is over He will have her More alleged tweets would see K.I. asking Von straight up If Oblock are plotting to kill her To which Von replies He's not going to lie There are people looking to kill her But Von would say he doesn't think he can kill her Because he thinks she seems cool as hell Even having the nerve to ask her When she's going to stop gangbanging K.I. would reply saying she's not going to stop Calling King Von a goofy And asking him when he's going to stop Von would laugh And tell her that he's gangbanging until he dies And that he will never lose or quit With K.I. ultimately agreeing with this And saying that she's planning the same thing Before mocking Von saying he must feel really threatened by her And questioning if he really thinks they can kill her Von replies saying that they're trying to kill anyone They're not just desperate for her specifically Before revealing that he had apparently had his gun on him When he beat her up on the train But saying he didn't kill her Because the police were there Along with a woman from Hey what type of FBI Like how you get all of this Like how does all I know he didn't originally get this But whoever got this How was y'all getting all of this From his block With Von saying that if he really wanted to kill her He would have took his chances And shot her in the train or the street In response to this K.I. would reply Come and get it Because she's ready to go to war with anyone With Von clapping back Questioning why she takes things so seriously After this alleged private exchange Von would reply to a public tweet of hers Dissing O.D. Perry And reminding her that he beat her up Even saying that he wishes he'd spat on her afterwards Now Von began to use K.I. pretty much for entertainment Beefing her on Twitter whenever he was bored But K.I. would be looking for Von in real life however Von would tweet that he has his ops Scared at the corner store And K.I. would reply Saying that she's on the way Looking for him Also tweeting asking where he is With Von replying sarcastically Telling her to be safe in the streets More alleged leaked DMs Between K.I. and Von would merge With K.I. asking Von where he was With the two of them seemingly arranging a shootout With K.I. even asking if T. Roy can come too K.I. lay Yeah, this guy's This is kind of funny to me I ain't gonna lie There's a whole transaction that's funny K.I. claimed to have walked through O.Block And not seen a soul With Von saying that they're too busy To have a shootout right now Von would later allegedly DM K.I Telling her to call him when she's ready To put a dress on and let her hair down They'd keep going back and forth on Twitter publicly Building up this insane public history K.I. tweeted that she was going to the store And Von would warn her not to Von would tweet reminding her That he had beaten her up on the train With her saying that he's been hiding ever since Von would clap back asking when she's coming back To his block for a date And K.I. would then remind Von Of all the times that people from her side Had beaten him up Other O.Block members would tweet their intentions To kill K.I. too And she would tweet that she wants to see King Von face-to-face Von would reply, she really doesn't One tweet would see Von say that he'd spent All day trying to get K.I. on the phone And that her voice sounded sexy He Jail in 2013 Von's sister would tweet at K.I. Saying that Von had asked her to go And visit him in jail With Von's sister later suggesting That she had even had a fistfight with K.I. And saying that she will see her on 63rd Perhaps for another fight When Von was released from jail in 2014 He would tweet at K.I. And ask if she missed him With her replying Asking when they're meeting up And adding four gun emojis With Von expressing disappointment That K.I. didn't come and see him in jail Like he'd asked Now, bear in mind Tweeting at K.I. was one of the first things That Von did upon getting out of jail He tweeted her twice Before he had tweeted at Chief Keith Or any of his actual friends from Oblock He was obsessed But K.I. would continue to mock Von Asking him how it felt for his friends to die While he was in jail Even retweeting Von's own tweet Saying, rest in peace, J-Money And going It's like, we've already got it Like, the FBG Butter said That Von wasn't the person Because FBG Butter Butter was with K.I. When she, you know, got unalived And they shot him in the knee So he said, he's seen the face to face The person that did it And he's, that person is no longer, you know, blah, blah, blah But we all know King Von But this is still a good story The tweets is almost comical The inbox Going on to insult him in a tweet of her own This was a reference to Von's friend J-Money From Oblock Who had been killed in September 2013 Whilst he was in jail With Von retaliating Saying, rest in peace To crack and modell With Von even later tweeting That he can't be mad at women Unless they're odds In which case they can die And another tweet Saying how desperate he was To catch a female op Von and K.I. would tweet at each other Much less in 2014 Perhaps because Von was looking to reduce The paper trail leading to him If K.I. wound up dead But in the days following Little Mark's death In April 2014 Von would release some brazen tweets On the 1st of April He would tell a friend That he would never start rapping And that he prefers killing ops And tweeting that he had bodies on his gun On the 6th of April K.I. would tweet saying People won't get the picture Until you put them in the frame Along with a gun emoji That same day Von would tweet Saying if you're not where I'm from You will get killed That was followed the next day By Von tweeting that he was always Looking for a woman And he can't find her And saying he will stop looking And let her look for him And then go on to tweet on the 10th of April That there's some women he would do anything for Telling her to just hit his line That would be followed by another tweet Saying if a girl leaves him Then she's leaving the best With it unclear if he's talking about her Leaving him Or her leaving this earth That was followed by more tweets Where Von would say If a girl is with the ops Then she's getting shot And that he's not playing with op girls this summer I feel like somebody is just pieced together Very incorrectly But yeah, okay And they should watch out In the early hours of the next morning K.I. would make the ominous tweet In the end, we die As well as tweeting her apparent location Just off 63rd Later that afternoon K.I. would be standing on a nearby porch In the 6400 block of South Eberhardt Avenue Only a three-minute walk towards O-Block From the location that she had tweeted She was at earlier that day And that was the day that King Von Would allegedly find that woman That he had been looking for all this time As K.I. would indeed be gunned down On April the 11th, 2014 The murder report on K.I.'s death Would feature a witness describing the shooter Who hopped out of a car catching K.I. And another man who were about to shoot dice They would run into a gangway But the shooter kept firing Apparently even shouting Yeah, bitch-ass, n-words As he fired the handgun at K.I. multiple times She would be shot nine times And declared dead just two hours later For Chantal Brown The statistics are more than just numbers Within 12 short hours across Chicago 14 people were wounded Two people killed One of them being Brown's oldest child I'm just gonna miss her presence She was a very, very beautiful Well-known, like, lovely girl 17-year-old J'Kyra Barnes loved basketball Her friends and being with family It's still under investigation What exactly happened Friday afternoon In the 6400 block of South Eberhardt But neighbors say Barnes and a friend Were walking along the sidewalk When a gunman started firing When the bullet hit him It was so powerful she fell on the step Residents who do not want to be identified Say Barnes fought to live But had been shot at least nine times In the jaw, in the neck, in the chest And in the leg Nine times they said Barnes was transported to Northwestern Where she died and tragically For this neighborhood It wasn't the first child lost to gunfire And Von would go on to tweet Just hours after K.I. was pronounced dead Saying that he loves his gang And they love him Before tweeting, mad that nobody misses him And this was followed by people confirming That K.I. had been killed Oblock veteran J. Hood would reveal In a Cam Capone interview many years later That Von came back to Oblock And told him what he'd done Immediately after the murder The day after the hit Would tweet Von's catchphrase Saying that he does his thing Seemingly a congratulatory post to Von Who replied saying You got to Von would later tweet that he needs a real bitch And over the next few days He would once again deliver a It's too much, it's too much he says She say over the K.I. one I don't know about that one Flurry of activity on Twitter Tweeting that his ops don't scare him And that the whole gang war is funny to him He would say that he's lost a lot of friends And enemies must die in retaliation Von would also tweet saying that people wouldn't believe The things that he does in the streets And saying that he will never tell Von would even copy K.I.'s earlier tweet From the week before her murder About people not getting the picture Until you put them in the frame As well as tweeting at her Saying he misses his old girl Von was clearly in a celebratory mood Following the murder of K.I. And he would go on to make post after post Referencing the ongoing gang war Posting tributes to T. Roy Telling his incarcerated friend That he was going crazy on the streets And he was locked up Von was seemingly proud of himself For all he was achieving in the streets At this point He would seemingly update his body count to six Openly tweeting homicide in the air And that he made six people extinct For playing hard Von would even post his own mugshot Saying they should have never freed him Because he's a menace He tweeted that he put people's brains In their lap And asked his followers If they would still be there for him I ain't even gonna lie They need a movie about Von Like a 50 cent need to do a Show or something This would be the best show of all time When he gets a hundred years in jail Von would suggest that he is only competing In kill counts with T. Roy Suggesting that those two were the most Deadly people in the streets at this time There'd be a lot of politics to go on Along with it But you know what I'm saying Nevertheless Get it done He would claim to wake up in the morning Thinking of nothing but killing people Other rappers and well known figures Around Chicago drill Would continue to tweet Congratulating King Von after this murder People like Lil Reese and Boss Top And Von would also tweet on April the 28th That there's only two places for a man Like him Presumably jail or hell Clearly he must have had an inkling As he would end up being picked up In connection to the murder The following day On the 29th of April But Von would never be formally charged With K.I.'s murder He would deny even knowing her And would initially offer to do a polygraph test As well as providing a loose alibi Relying on a woman claiming That she had been with him The entire day of the murder Combine that with the fact That Von had apparently checked in With his parole officer Just an hour before the murder Worked in his favor Despite the crime scene Being only 35 minutes from the parole office Meaning that Von had over 25 minutes spare To get there and kill K.I. Immediately after signing in With his PO As a result of these slick maneuvers Von would indeed be released the next day And face no further consequences In this situation And he would tweet that he'd beat That case like Rocky And that he was in a good mood Showing love to everyone But the odds That was followed by him tweeting Laughing faces And saying that he was grateful to be free And that he's too real A few days later Von would be tweeting that he beats bodies And that he doesn't plan on going to prison As well as seemingly referencing K.I.'s resemblance to Snoop from the Wire And calling her a dead op Years later, Von would even go on To brag about killing K.I. on songs After he started rapping Famously saying on the track War with us That he put a pretty op a bitch in the morgue You can call her drop dead gorgeous As well as saying that he keeps a Shrap like K.I. on the song GTA For years following this murder People including myself Speculated on whether King Von had killed K.I. Or whether it was the work of fellow O-Block hit her big A Who reportedly went by the nickname Ascii Or Ask K.I. after her death Suggesting that he had something to do with her killing But in lyrics to King Von's leaked song Wait He seemingly rapped about the day that he caught K.I. With lyrics a lot of people believe would Allude to Von jumping out of the car And chasing K.I. down the alley With big A being the driver Von would also rap on the song Cousins That he kills women and men And can't tell the difference But it wasn't just Von Little Dirk would also rap in December of 2014 The year that K.I. was killed On the song war with E-Day Seemingly suggesting that he had owned a gun That was used in K.I.'s murder Now, rapping about someone that you killed is one thing But King Von actually went on to do One of the most psychopathic things I have ever seen Because on May the 23rd of 2019 A documentary about K.I. would air on A&E Titled Secret Life of a Gang Girl This piece goes in depth into the life of K.I Exploring her motivations to become A gang member despite being a petite young woman As well as interviewing some of the people that knew her This is gone, this is gone No, King Von was interviewed in it During this time And that documentary about K.I. Would interview none other than King Von Who was featured prominently in the documentary And if you ask me He was just straight up trolling the TV crew Who clearly hadn't done their homework Von would appear in the show Portraying himself as having been an infatuated admirer Pursuing K.I. for nothing but romantic reasons And the fact that the film crew Didn't even have an inkling that Von was responsible Is just crazy to me And it's not like the info that he killed K.I. Wasn't already circulating out there at this point Because while Von is in jail for his next murder in 2016 Word of his story as a shooter in the Chicago gang war Would spread on the edgy message board 4chan Where a gang obsessed 4chan member Would claim to have accessed K.I.'s private DMs Exposing those private messages which we already saw Between King Von and K.I. all the way back in 2012 With this deranged 4chan user Even replying to friends of K.I. from her account Who had c- Definitely deranged, okay That's how they got this That's crazy Continue to DM her after her death looking for closure With that 4chan hacker writing a lengthy post Claiming to have been told by a friend of K.I.'s In the DMs that they believed King Von was her killer Bear in mind This information was floating around all the way back in 2016 Two years after the murder And three years before the documentary However, eventually A whole year after Von's death In 2021 The Chicago police would release documents Revealing that they believed King Von himself To be K.I.'s killer With apparently multiple witnesses pinning Von as the shooter But unfortunately the state decided not to prosecute Stating that the case simply wouldn't meet the burden of proof To secure a conviction So King Von would be released back on the streets After having allegedly killed the girl He had seemingly spent years hunting down But only a month and a half later Von would go on to catch yet another murder Which would finally land him in jail And just briefly putting a stop To his serialized killings After being questioned about the K.I. murder Being released with no consequences King Von felt invincible The month is May 2014 And Von had seemingly killed a total of six people at this point As usual, he'd be on Twitter non-stop Hinting at his actions in the streets Asking God for forgiveness for killing his Ops And saying that he shoots first And asks questions later He would tweet that he's in a differently That's how it is in Chicago Everybody do that in Chicago, allegedly League when it comes to killing And others need to catch up And telling the world He's always armed and ready for his Ops Clearly Von was active in the streets As well as on Twitter Claiming to be driving through his Ops area Literally as he was tweeting And saying that he has an itchy trigger finger Von would claim that anybody can get smoked For the right price or cause Warning his Ops not to come near him Or he will shoot Von would claim to never be putting his gun down Because too many people have died in the gang war Taunting his Ops Saying he knows that they want him But it's not his time to die Von would even repost a viral clip When keeping it real goes wrong A video apparently showing a group of people Filming themselves going to Chief Keith's neighbourhood And getting shot at A clip that people would later claim Was actually King Von doing the shooting I mean just imagine having the balls To shoot at people And then retweet the world star video Of you shooting at them The same day as this Von would claim that he's buying guns With 100 round magazines And wondering who he's going to shoot As well as saying that he'd been gang banging all day And now he's tired out The following day, Von would tweet saying that others Wouldn't do half of the stuff that he's done And plans to do In the streets And Von would say that he plans to keep scoring Until he wins Only two days after that Von would find himself attempting to score again On the 29th of May, 2014 An afternoon party would be going on At 5722 South LaSalle Street Von would attend this party Where he spotted two members from the rival gang At this point, the mother of the person Whose birthday party it was Apparently told Von not to start Troubled in her house With Von saying that he wouldn't And leaving Von would leave the party And go and get a friend, Big Mike Apparently telling another person Who was still at the party on the phone That he was coming back And that they should take the children inside Von really stood on like Like I ain't even like It's a lot of politics when you gangbanging But he really went by the rules and regulations of him Kind of You know what I'm saying? If you know, you know When the shooting stopped A 19-year-old man by the name of Malcolm Stuckey Would be declared dead With a gunshot wound to the head The Chicago police would respond to the shooting At 6.10pm Arriving on the scene Where police were pictured securing the location Around Malcolm's body Apparently Von was really trying to kill Two rival gang members that he saw at the party Ultimately hitting three people But only killing Malcolm Who allegedly wasn't the intended target Or even involved in the gang war Perhaps this is why we never hear King Von In his career disrespecting Or saying that he's smoking Malcolm Like he did to many of the other people That he was rumoured to have killed But there would still be hints at his involvement Because while Malcolm had been laying in the street With a bullet in his head for several hours Only 12 minutes before he'd officially be pronounced dead Von would tweet saying that he has some issues But he cannot tell a soul about them Meanwhile, Boss Top from Oblock Would tweet that Von is the guy Who sits people down if they run up Now it would take nearly two months For the authorities to connect Von to this murder And during this time He would continue to be prolific posting on Twitter He would tweet that he was on the block With his gun in the early hours of the morning After the murder of Malcolm And tweeting that all of the things That people are hearing about are him He's the one responsible He would tweet saying that he's killed so many ops That he doesn't have any more feelings He'd also tweet that it's all fun and games Until somebody you know is no longer breathing And he would tweet saying that he did all of this On parole and just wait until he gets off With a demon emoji And in another deleted tweet That was apparently reposted by somebody else Von openly tweeted saying that he wanted to go On an all out killing spree However, King Von's crime spree would ultimately be cut short On prom night of all nights Von would be pictured holding a gun at O Block In his suit in the hours before prom And he would even tweet warning people Not to try him while he's dressed in his suit Von would then end up doing a shooting in his prom suit With witnesses describing his outfit Ultimately leading to his arrest Von's last tweet would be on June the 7th, 2014 The ominous statement, loose screws get nailed He would end up being arrested on firearms charges On prom night And then the following month on the 22nd of July, 2014 Von's accomplice in the murder of Malcolm Stuckey, Big Mike Ended up getting charged with murder And being taken in for questioning by the police Then two days later on July the 24th, 2014 King Von, already in jail Would be charged with one count of first degree murder For the killing The last type of Chicago thing I react to, man Because it's like, what can I say As a person that's from Chicago that lives at that You know what I'm saying? It's like, you got a... King of Malcolm Stuckey And two counts of attempted murder For the other two people shot in that incident Von's arrest for this crime Would attract significant media coverage And he would remain in jail awaiting trial From June, 2014 to December, 2017 And during that time His people would tweet from his Twitter account Saying that they missed him Asking for visitors to come see him on his birthday And posting clips and pictures of him in jail During his visits Well, everybody knows Von was wild Von was wild, was wild Always been wild It's gone In Chicago, there's multiple... There's a lot of Von's Just no one has known That's all right for me I'm dropping rates on the first... Yay! No one's not You got the money for momma? No, it's still a whole call You're ugly But while Von was in jail, he would raise help Apparently helping to start a huge fire On the wing in April, 2017 He would constantly get into fights with his ops Apparently never turning down confrontations That's what I could say Von, Von had over 20 fights in that... He was... He'd talk about jail He'd talk about that shit Like, it's a write-up passage Like, every... There was a street like him He was like, jail was coming Yeah, that's why he was always in there Because he never cared about jail That's how he was able to be the type of... He was in the streets Because some of these savages like... And you supposed to... You supposed to do shit with that In the back of your mind Like, knowing like, man Go south Go to jail Well, it's sort of sliding up on my... Like, the police don't even exist He'd smoke you broad day Von would remain in jail For an extended period of time Around three and a half years in total And during his time in jail He picked up the nickname Grandson Apparently for his resemblance and image As well as temperament To the Black Disciples founder David Barksdale Also known as King David It's obvious that King Von took a lot of inspiration From the original founder of the gang that he repped The Black Disciples Not only going by the name King Von But also frequently saying David Barksdale's nickname Often ending sentences by saying On King David So I'm King David Also, while Von was in jail awaiting trial The conflicts in the streets would continue to play out And Von would eventually Get the worst news imaginable His right-hand man T-Roy Would be shot and killed In a convenience store on Valentine's Day 2017 Von's people would post Twitter tributes Memorializing his friend and favorite shooter And Von would later open up about the very moment That he got the news about T-Roy's death While he was in jail Yeah, I picked T-Roy Man, that was my best friend And I got everything on my neck That's how strong that shit I got him game-banging on my neck That's how hard we was game-banging With Von saying that he completely broke down crying When he found out that his right-hand man T-Roy was gone Miss my dog Before they get my dog I'll lock the Kill me, I broke down Ain't blind-crashed so long But yeah, that's my You know what I mean? Gee, I'm fighting the murder I call it Yeah, that's my right-hand man So I'm telling like, all right Now, since he gone, we can tell Man, I'm gonna get you out I'm gonna get you out Man, whatever I gotta do I'm gonna get you out I swear to God You know, but we in the streets You know how that shit go So he, he's trying to hustle He's trying to rob all types of people Whatever he can do Yeah, I'm gonna get you a lawyer Bro, I got you, you know See if you tell me what you mean I'd be calling me I don't even worry about it, man Just look, just you make sure you go I mean, I'm gonna figure this out Just be cool with that stuff I call folks, I call folks It's like, this don't like Valentine's Day, you see what I'm saying?

What made you last P*** I been spying now B**** They all c*** They all f*** I am old Vaughn would also return To Twitter As well as the streets Telling 16 shot on visuals That his friend Edog from Oblock Picked him up and the first thing they did was go and buy a gun. I want a bra. I want a bra. I don't care, give me a... You got one. I want a bra. I got a gun. I got a gun. I got a gun. I got a gun. That's good, but it's okay. At the time of his release, Von wasn't yet a rapper. It's unclear if Von ever really had aspirations of transitioning from shooter to rapper. On the one hand, there's old tweets where he perhaps jokingly said that him and T-Roy had planned to release music, but nothing ever materialized. On the other hand, he had also tweeted that if he ever starts rapping, you should kill the person closest to you because something ain't right. So it's safe to say that at least initially, Von's plans were not music. At least not for himself, because one person who hadn't forgotten Von during his long three and a half years in jail was his childhood friend and Chicago rap superstar, Lil Durk, who had tweeted his support for Von whilst he was still in jail fighting his charges and apparently calling him regularly, even providing money for a lawyer. Durk would welcome Von home from jail with open arms, with Von actually revealing later that his friendship with Durk had initially had an ulterior motive. And at first, he was just planning to hang around Durk and rob people that he knew just to get himself to $100,000. I went no rapper, so it wasn't my, none of that rapping shit. I'm thinking like, I just need to get 100,000. I'm gonna be decent. I'm gonna rob this. And I'm gonna try to rob this. And this is how I was thinking in jail. And I was like, you know, if I got to take this off your home, you just chill. They say, what you gonna do? I say, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna go around Durk. And I'm just gonna catch me. I'm off, I'm gonna go around Durk. And I'm gonna catch you like two, three, three, something, and Durk. I ain't gonna let him know because he gonna try to stop me. After coming home from jail, music was the last thing on King Von's mind. He just wanted to get money and flex his newfound freedom. He would be seen fresh home posing in new outfits on Instagram with pictures celebrating his freedom, attracting threats from his enemies like FBG Cash. But it seemed that Von's friends would be looking out for him. And no one was looking out for Von more during this time than Lil Durk, who would invite Von into his life and entourage as he continued his rise as one of Chicago's most promising rappers. Durk was working on his 2018 mixtape, Just Cause Y'all Waited. And that tape featured the classic track, Durk Yo Crazy. Soon after getting out of jail, Von would be sitting in the back of Durk's car, previewing this future classic before it was released. Perhaps the reason that Durk wanted to play Von this track is because the song itself references Von's case with Durk rapping that a witness went missing and now Von is coming home. Once again, Von's real life of crime was providing inspiration for Chicago's biggest rappers. Clearly, Durk was inspired by the return of his newly freed hitter and would continue spending time with him. Later that day, in the same Instagram Live, King Von would explain to Durk how he grew his hair in jail just to keep himself warm and explaining just how painful the shackles were that he was forced to wear whilst in solitary confinement. It was cold tonight. It was cold tonight. It was cold and great. I'm gonna do that, baby. You said they ate us, man, I'm back in a row. Oh, it was ugly. Anchor's still got that scorn, they're looking for the thing. I'm going to court. In the hole, you got to wear shockers. Oh, no. Man, everything. Everything? It ain't come out. Yeah, it ain't there. You gotta get on the phone, you know. It's when you walk, it was there. Right, no, no, it'd be the back of my shit because my ankle's little, it's there. I'm a fool, no. Look, I got that girl in them. Von would seemingly spend Christmas 2017 with Durk, too, with them being seen together on social media listening to classic Chicago drill anthems by L.A. Capone. Moving into 2018, Von started off in classic savage mode, posting on social media, Toten... You would think they was closer from wavey-folder the way their relationship was, but they just winked up when they got out, huh? They probably knew of each other, but they really got close right here. ...guns and declaring his desire to bring war to his office. He'd been seen on clips on social media, walking through O-Block and showing the world that he was still in these streets, untouched even after all of the people he had allegedly killed. Even speculating on who was in the comments on these lives, his ops or the cops. Whoo! Oh, yes! Close. Oh! Game time. Whoo! Yes, sir. Bravo, y'all. Y'all told me to press the I. I pressed the I to add some of that. That didn't work for me. You know, I'm with that rock. Man, this is one thing I do not miss about Chicago, the snow. I ain't even gonna lie to you. But in certain circumstances, because I'm out here now, like I'd rather have snow sometimes than some of this stuff that be going on over here. Yay! You got this, man! I'm talking, I was so used to it being cold, all I would need is, you know what I'm saying, a good pair of Jordans that was insulated like a Jordan 7, Jordan 6, even the Jordan 5's was decent. Put them on, or some Timbs, and didn't have a sweater in my North Face and tell you that North Face, I still got that one. North Face do wonders. You think that you're actually out of here? Hey, y'all in the house, those hoes. I don't mean no one of these them. You see how little they jackets he is? They used to be. They as a folks note, folks not gonna like fans. As January went on, Von would continue to flex his muscles on social media and he would be seen listening to NBA young boy of all people whilst chilling with O-Blog native Manu Duke and telling followers that they were smoking their dead ops. Lot of your dead man's, fuck them. Super man, god damn it, brick man, Kobe man. Do we strut up? Do we strut up? Clearly Von was still in the streets initially. After enjoying some time in Atlanta with Lil Durk, once he'd returned to Chicago in February, he'd quickly find himself in trouble, tweeting that he was riding around with a gun and weed. Then he would end up getting arrested at O-Blog on February the 14th, 2018, the one year anniversary of T-Roy's death. With this arrest taking place soon after he tweeted that he was in O-Blog and armed on the anniversary of T-Roy's murder. Von would be arrested on charges of shooting and bodily harm on the anniversary of T-Roy's murder. Von would be arrested on charges of shooting and bodily harm with cops claiming that he ran from this taking place soon after he tweeted that he was in O-Blog and armed on the- That's not what that mean, that's not what that mean. Trap, I'm in the O with it. With it don't mean that I got it with me. It just mean I'm in the O with it. My vibe is in the O, I'm in the O with it. That don't mean like me, I'm in Miami with it. Like, it don't mean I'm strattin'. And he wouldn't, nah, I'm pretty sure he was though, but that's not what that mean. That's not how, it's just a little lost translation a little. Anniversary of T-Roy's murder. Von would be a- It would be like, for it to be, it'd be like, pop out, I'm in the O with it on me or something like that. Like, with it just means I'm here. My vibe, my whole, my aura, I'm in the O with it. Soon after he tweeted that he was in O-Blog and armed on the anniversary of T-Roy's murder, Von would be arrested on charges of shooting and bodily harm with cops claiming that he ran from them and threw a gun, battering them in the process of the arrest with the body cam footage of this arrest later becoming public, which showed a menacing King Von telling the police with pride that he'd just beat a body and two attempted murders. So this is John when we were chasing, but on video they went back, went under the cars where we think he ditched it, got in the vehicle, we stopped the vehicle, get him out, battery, fight with that, the vehicle takes off on us when we got this and then we got about 50 people around. So, you're gonna go to jail for battering to a police officer. Why is it? Me? And you also- I got everything- Thank you very much. We'll take it then. I'm in the cops and I was in the car with him. I go home, it's Valentine's Day. You got to pay numbers since you got it on tape, man? Hey, my man. Oh, you don't have that. Wait a minute. All right. All right. I was in my head already. Come on, man. I'll switch him off. Two E's, two gold TNs. Watch it. He's gonna- You look at her. He ain't wanna feel it, he ain't not. I don't know, I don't know. No, I don't wanna try that on. What? You guys looking up? Yeah, why? He just wanted it. I was there for a play. And she used to hear the whole time videotaping. Oh, well, for the majority of it, not when we got him out of the car. I cuffed him this way, because we had- Because I let me go to all my pottons, and- You talked to one of the J.L.s, you know what I'm saying? I don't know, I just got a D on me, that's what I'm saying. What were you locked up for? A body and two and two. I'm sorry? You want it, you're gonna have it. You're gonna want to cuff him in the back. He's seen the police officer when he said it. He was a body and two attempts. He was, huh? Well, who do we got, right here? He was, he was, he was astonished. I just got a D on me, that's all. Look at his face. What were you locked up for? A body and two attempts. I'm sorry? He couldn't believe it. He said a body and two attempts. He said, huh, I'm sorry? You hurt me? That is funny. You're gonna have it. You're gonna want to cuff him in the back. He's all kinds of funny. Look, look, look. As soon as he heard that, he said, no, no, no, no, no. We got him cuffed in the front, put his arms behind him. He's all type of fun, all types of trouble. That's what I'm saying. Look out, look out. You got you. Let go, stupid man. No, no, we got you. Back off. Yeah, we got it from you. All right. You got locked up over here recently? No, yeah, no. What'd you lock up in? Huh? I got a J.I.P. in my case. I'll charge the first of you, brother. You are, you are in video right now, man. It's cool. All right, it doesn't matter. Them is past cases. I got, I'll beat them. Don't I'm getting trouble right now? Put that on the door. We're gonna figure that out, man. You gotta figure it out. That's crazy. I'm not under arrest. Yes, you are. What? Probably trespass over here and hitting the guy. Hit who? Everybody got furloughed. That's what we're gonna do later. I don't know. Please don't. Okay, no problem. All right, we got you. Thank you. This is how I got kicked out of high school. This exact situation. This is the exact situation. Like, this is how it happened to me. The security guard set out battered him. I'm like, are you okay? Whatever y'all say. That's how, that's the security guard was off duty cop. So I'm like, yeah, okay, I know. And then all of a sudden the cameras in the high school wasn't at the right angle. So they couldn't see what really happened. But I took all the punishment. If you can't see it, then it didn't happen then. That's how I felt. Monday, Ionic six versus Tesla. You feel me? He asked him, man, the super cop. Where's his coat? It's in the back seat of the infirmary. It's gone? It's gone. Yeah. After the arrest, a furious looking King Von Mugshot circulated online. But Von would be out within just a couple of days tweeting that he believes that the cops have it out for him because he escaped those murder charges. And he would boast that he would never let them get him. Clearly King Von wasn't ready to permanently move on from his life as a O-Block hitter. And he would still be going live on O-Block in March 2018 mocking their dead ops. Right, who got Tuka, man? That's all we need. How did you Tuka, man? I sure got Tuka, Tuka, Puppies, Bayans. I can't be in the room without smelling Tuka. I gotta at least smell it. I'm fun just to know like, just to know like Tuka, just multiple people and loving him here, Tuka. But Von would also continue to be seen hanging out closely with Lil Durk, seemingly making regular trips to spend time with the rapper in Atlanta. At a certain point, Von and Durk would be reunited with another friend and feared Chicago shooter, THF Bezu, with Bezu just like Von beating a 2014 murder charge for a shooting that occurred in 2009. Lil Durk was now rolling with two certified Chicago shooters on his team. But the plan wasn't to shoot. Durk planned instead to transform these hardened street figures into rap superstars, the realist rappers who had ever rapped with the realist backstories to back it up. Von would post pictures in the studio with Durk saying that he isn't going back to his old ways and hinting to an upcoming career in the rap game. Since beating his murder case and coming home, Von had the perfect backstory to kickstart his music career too. THF Bezu had essentially been through the very same situation. So Von and Bezu would be paired up and placed into a studio where they would record a song all about their shared experience beating real-life murder charges, something that Von and Bezu would open up about in a 16-shot interview. Me as a piece of you, why does this- Why are you beating me? That's the story we can tell. I'm beating you, I'm beating you, I'm beating you. On May the 27th, 2018, King Von and THF Bezu released their first song, Beat That Body, a track coming with shocking lyrics where Von essentially admits to catching bodies, beating them, and even saying that he now plans to catch more. This insane backstory would be irresistible for Chicago drill fans, with Dirk later revealing that people instantly went crazy for Von's music in Chicago. And he see like us, what we doing is music and I had a studio in my house. He just tried it when he dropped the song, like the reaction was just like, he next, I'm like, oh, you're on the song, you know what I'm saying? But Von didn't seem too hopeful for his rap career to begin with, barely promoting the song and seemingly having no plans to give up his full-time job as an oblock driller or at least shot-caller, because in the months that followed Von's musical debut, the killings would still continue to play out in the streets with Von appearing to remain plugged into the action. Not only giving... You in Chicago, man, it's that war around you. It doesn't matter what you got going on. There's so many people around you that's involved, like you can't not be involved. You gotta fully relocate and get away. Von and his gang even more credit in the streets, but with these murders, also providing Von with the inspiration to get back into the booth, where he would continue to record music all about the deadly violence that he would soon become famous for. The murder can't get right. While King Von was in jail, numerous people from Oblock ended up getting killed. Perhaps it was precisely because they're most... You know, y'all know this is coming in two parts. I'ma do it, I'ma do it up to halfway and then I'ma do the rest. Probably, I'll watch the rest tonight, but just drop it tomorrow. His fearless shooter was in jail that so many people ended up passing while he was gone. Von was particularly hurt by the killing of T-Roy, his right-hand man. And after T-Roy was killed, a new set of gangsters would form in Oblock who went by the name Get Back Gang. This was a hardened crew of shooters whose sole focus was to get revenge or get back for the murder of T-Roy and other beloved Oblock natives who had been killed while Von was in jail. Another one of these fallen Oblock affiliates was Chiena, who was shot dead on the 17th of July, 2016. Another, Big A, was gunned down in a restaurant near Oblock on the 4th of December, 2016. The Get Back Gang would be on a killing spree, trying to avenge their fallen friends, looking to kill anyone who played a role in their demise. Poffy, believed to have been involved in hits against Oblock, would be gunned down at work on the 16th of June, 2017, allegedly being shot in the head by an Oblock member called Heck, who would go on to be known by the nickname HK or Headshot King. HK was T-Roy's brother and would reportedly avenge him, with T-Roy's alleged killer, TB or Terry Barry, being shot dead on the 26th of December, 2017. However, HK himself would end up being killed in Oblock too, just before Von got out of jail on the 24th of November, 2017. Another person who seemingly lost their life to Get Back Gang's revenge campaign during this time would be FBG Brick, FBG Doug's brother, rumored to have played a role in giving up T-Roy's location to the ops the day he was killed, with Brick and his friend Kobe being gunned down in a Get Back Gang attack on the 17th of July, 2017. In fact, many of these murders played out in 2017, whilst Von was still behind bars for the murder of Malcolm Stuckey. And when Von got out, despite becoming a rapper, spending time in Atlanta with Lil Durk and seemingly taking a step away from the gang war, Von would still seem to be looked at as a senior figure and shot caller to members of Oblock and Get Back Gang. And when they killed again, King Von would be on the sidelines, celebrating the murder as if it was one of his own. On June the 13th, 2018, King Von would tweet saying that there's a new rule, you can only diss or smoke a dead person that you yourself actually killed. Only days after that tweet, Get Back Gang would unfortunately claim another life. The next unlucky person to be killed would be a St. Lawrence native by the name of Can't Get Right, AKA Man-Man, real name, DeAndre Wallace. On June the 15th, 2018, around 9.50 PM, Can't Get Right is waiting for food outside of a store on 400 block of E63rd Street. At a certain point, two people- Some of you can't do them all, man. You gotta call that order in. You gotta be ready when you go. Get it delivered or something. Pulled up and waited outside. And when the- But you know, you heard dirt. Hop out like we Uber Eats. Hello, here go your pieces. Target was spotted. Those two men ran up, opening fire, killing both the target, as well as an innocent bystander. That's one thing that's a promise to you. I was a predominant user of Uber Eats. I was not going to go away to a nobody store or nothing like that. No, I remember on Howard Street, tasting subs or get shot up every two weeks. Like, I couldn't even go get a Giro burger or nothing. Like, getting shot up, I ain't gonna risk that. The employees behind Bulletproof Glass, but the whole store is on the corner. The whole store of glass, it's all glass. So you can see who walking in, who in there. You can see your ops. Anybody, anybody, you was just out there visible. You know what I'm saying? And then it was on a one-way street. It's like a dead end right there. You can't really, it's like, it's a tasty subs and it's Popeyes across the street. And then that street right there, I don't know, it was like, I think it's a one-way. I can't remember right now, but it's an alley and then I think it's like a tree in the middle. I don't know no more, but it was hard to maneuver. No, it's not a one-way, I'm tweaking. But it's hard to maneuver because it was a narrow street. So you can't really. Just there sweeping up outside the restaurant. And once again, the shooting and immediate aftermath were captured on CCTV footage and by witnesses in clips that are far too grisly to show you on YouTube. Both men shot in the incident were pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Hospital with the news even later reporting on this assassination. This morning I'm looking for the gunman who killed two men overnight. They were standing outside of a store in the city's Woodlawn neighborhood when someone started shooting. A 43-year-old man was shot in the chest. He died at the hospital. The other victim, a 22-year-old also died. Police. I used to message this one girl on Woodlawn. I used to hate going to her house. Oh, fuck it, stand it. It's like, okay, this is how I used to go for me. When I go somewhere in one of these neighborhoods or go somewhere that's highly active, this is how I used to do it. I would pull up, pull up, right? Pull up to the house, look. And then I circled a block three, four times to make sure nobody was outside, nobody was behind me, nobody was following, nobody was nothing. And then I would like, like I didn't, like on these streets you would have to parallel park. You know how you pull up, back up, go forward and get in the park. Like it'd be like this, like here go a car, here go a car, you have to fit in the middle. I didn't do that. I would like to park on the corner so I could pull out if something happened. So I would be looking for those kind of parks. I'd be circling the block, trying to get as close as possible to the front door. And of course, you know, I got it on me, but still at the same time, like you go on somewhere that's not your area. You know, Chicago is really based on if you're not from there, don't go there. Like it really be like that. It really be like that. And especially if you don't have tents on you, if you got tents on your car and people with outside, they really gonna be up on your car. They really gonna pull up on your car. I remember another time I was up north, I was up north this time. We was in a king neighborhood and my boy didn't know it. He didn't know where he was at. I knew where he was at though. And I told him, I was like, like he made a right and then he made a right. I must have been looking down. I looked up, I'm like, bro, why would you come down this street? I'm like, so he driving all of a sudden, I'm talking. It's a one way street, you can only go this way. You can only go the way we drive. All you see is people coming from the right, people coming from the left and the street is full of people all of a sudden with bats and some of them on the porch with the stretch. Like I'm like, I can't even put my head down. And he about to stop the car. I'm like, bro, hit the gas. What are you doing? I'm like, if anybody jumped in front of this car, oh well, you do not stop right here. So that's how it be, man. It get real ugly. And keep in mind, like I just moved from Chicago. Like the last neighborhood I lived in it was a, they called it Drake City. Drake City, it was off Lawrence and Kimball. I lived off Lawrence and Kimball. I don't live there no more, so I'm gonna give, I used to live off Drake City. The first day I lived there, first day I'm talking, I just moved in. I didn't have my daughter yet. I had just moved in. It was a drive by on in the front. I'm talking, I'm in the apartment. It's a condo. I'm downstairs. I'm doing something. All I hear is boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Skrrt. It's an infinity truck came through, shot up, you know, shot up the area. Then they tried to skirt off, but they hit a car on the corner and they jumped out. They bailed out and ran. I'm like, I come inside. I'm like, I'm like, well, welcome to the neighborhood. This is, I didn't know this was going on right here. For some reason that was oblivious to this right here. It is what it is now. And that was the last neighborhood I lived in in Chicago. Now I'm relocated. But yeah. Please say the 22 year old is a known gang member and was the intended target. King Von would go live on the same day as this double murder alongside Mimo 600 while still in Atlanta with Lil Durk's team. And in this live, King Von would set out to poke fun at his murdered rivals immediately after they were killed. And let's not forget, only days before this, King Von tweeted that you can't disrespect the dead unless you played a role in killing them. With that in mind, King Von's live stream after the murder was truly a masterclass in self-incrimination. They would start the live off lighting a blunt and saying that their smoking can't get right and asking the viewers what just happened. I locked you up in Chicago. Wild and out. That's a new season coming up. A wild and out. Oh, I can't skip. Oh, they on a big stage too. When is Thursday April 6th? Oh, it's out already. Okay. Some of these commercials do be informal for me. I'll take it. But anyway, back to the business. A lot of glizzards up. I'm just beating my ass right now. You write that with Joanne up. You take my app. Who got killed? That's all I'm asking y'all. Can't get right, can't kill. Merge. Can't get right, can't kill. If somebody show me a picture, I don't think I know what y'all are talking about. Is this King? Is this King? Can't get right. Hold on, is this him? Is this King? This ain't called snitching. I'm just trying to get beer-fied. Give me beer for this. From here, people start commenting, can't get up. And it seems that the O-Block hitters are so amused by this wordplay, they essentially confess to being involved in the murder on the spot. They talk some, can't get up. Won't, won't get up. They always make some shit before we do it. They beat us to it in 10. Yeah, I just started killing people. Oh, really? The job is doing this, he's doing it, man. Oh, Steve, this is crazy. After this, we see the crew say that it's two people down and that they're going to have to roll another one, whoever it is. Seemingly unaware that it was an innocent cleaner who was killed in the incident. They said two down. Two men that, no, I can't take two. Oh, they, they said it on both of my lines. I can't take two. Two people? Two people? I can't take one. Can't. They even started reacting mockingly to the ops posting long tributes to their fallen friend on Instagram in real time in this life. See that paragraph under that picture, you know it's a damn best friend. You just told me to pop out. I remember back in the days when you do do do. You just told me to pop out best friend. Why the fuck you do me like this? You bogus as hell. They ain't trying to. They going to be this as you do. You better not get down like this. From here, Von and his friends would continue mocking the ops by specific block and saying that the FN gave him a fresh fade like Lil Boosie. Steady taking loss. S.T. F.A.L. Steady taking loss. My fuck gave him a fresh fade, Boosie Boosie. Are they fuck looking for something? It is fresh fade. Why don't they even put him on frisery like he was even like that though? Then King Von comes back and says straight up that man-man must have known he was going to die and that no one will care he's gone. He about knew he was going to die. It is. I wish I could talk to him for that. Don't nobody even care about King right like that. I don't think they going to slide like that. I don't think nothing's going to happen because of that. So stay for the rest of the day money on that. We ain't going to act like nothing's going to happen because y'all going to go to the house. Whoever ain't get shot, you lucky today. I'm going out. After this, they even started reliving the hit saying that their ops aren't used to somebody jumping out of the car and firing at them non-stop. I used to might just have not a cut for real. Licking at your ass. Really on your way. You just hit the flat, pass your edges. You just want to do like one of these because you're not going to be like you face up. What the hell are you doing? This guy can't move. Crump getting that earlobe before they got shot too. Whilst King Von is on live bragging about this hit from another city, Oblock members Muwop posted a picture on Instagram with fellow member Duke saying that they are shooters. Meanwhile, E-dog from Oblock jumped on Twitter to say that the get back is not over. Just the day after the murder, King Von tweeted saying that the states are higher now than ever and that the police have their eye on him. Von later tweeted claiming that his brothers made the new op-pack, literally giving direct responsibility for this murder to his team. It seemed clear at this point that Von was not only happy about the killing that his friends from Oblock were doing, but he was actively encouraging it and quite possibly the one giving the orders. Friends of Man-Wan would post outright saying that they believed King Von paid for the hit. Go on all that, tap him up and see if he can get up and all that go fast. Don't want to talk about it too. Whoa. Do you guys feel that it was somebody from the other side that may have did it or you think it was like a random act of violence that the city of Chicago- Yeah, why is this shit? Why is that a smitter? We know he did it, man. All these guys in the city did it, man. Okay. That hate us. But they ain't gonna step outside them gates though. But they know King Von. We don't say his name, King Von. But Von honestly didn't seem to care about anything at this point. And despite the fact that word was spreading that he was the shot-caller in get back gangs murders, Von wasn't trying to keep this a secret. In fact, he was ready to broadcast that message to millions of people. Because on July the 31st, 2018, Lil Durk's Only the Family Involved Volume 1 compilation album releases. The project featured many of Lil Durk's friends, including King Von, whose new song Problems would be included on the project. You look crazy saying that name like that. Being all about Von having hitters that catch bodies for him, even warning people do not get bodied by me. The song essentially tells the story of oblock shooters killing people on Von's command. The song also featured an intro where he shouted out get back gang, and there were lyrics about killing both the target and witnesses. Von would rap that killing is his hobby, and he says that his loyal shooters are the ones catching bodies for him. Von would also tease a music video for this track, which ended up dropping on Lil Durk's official YouTube channel on August the 9th, King Von's 24th birthday. Meanwhile, Lil Durk was impressed with King Von's murder raps, tweeting that Von was next up to breaking into. I ain't gon' know it, you all ain't never seen a Durk video with that little bit of use. The rap game, and this would be followed by Von telling fans that he would soon be dropping music with Lil Durk himself, and saying that he would be switching up and not associating with anyone he used to know. Once the song with Durk dropped, I'm actin' like I don't know none of y'all. I'm actin' funny. Aye, I feel it. Aye, I feel it. I don't know nobody. I'm a new man. It's a whole other chapter in your life. I'm changing up. Durk was clearly seeing the potential in King Von's music, and from here, the two of them would be seen together on social media, having a good time, and getting the fans more and more familiar with Durk's newest prospect. Yeah, that's what I think it's all about, bodies and shit like that. Mermaid! Now, I will say, now, there's a lot of people that got, you know, that got a lot of bodies in Chicago, but like, it's like, Von, he was very different in his approach, the west, the stuff he did, the afterwards, the trolling, it was just like, that's what made him like, ruthless about it. Man, Von a cool boy. Come on, man. I'm putting him, get your cat dog lookin' ass. I'm putting him, get your rat lookin' ass. Big mouse lookin' ass. I'm putting him. Tight ass. Mickey mouse. Damn! Von was beginning to lay the foundations for a successful rap career, but he also continued to be reckless. Around this time, Von is seen in a viral Instagram live clip, telling a small child on Obloc to disrespect Tuca and training him to shoot people in the head with a water pistol. Tuca. Tuca. Tuca. Tuca. Shoot him. Shoot him in his head. Shoot him in his head. Shoot him in his head. You got a point right here. Boom. Tuca. Say it. It's a nerve gun, not a water gun, but yeah. Gotta shoot him and say it. Shoot him. Shoot him! Say it. Tuca. Tuca. Tuca. Tuca. You shot Tuca? Yeah. Say Tuca, man. Say Tuca, man. Shoot him again. Shoot him in his head. Carrier! After this, Von would tweet about having killers around him and posting pictures of his whole crew. And as Von's popularity grew, people would eventually annotate these pictures, speculating on how many people each Obloc member had killed. Naturally, all of this reckless behavior on social media brought even more police attention onto Obloc. By the end of August 2018, the block is hot and King Von is seen on live observing arrests taking place on Obloc itself, even saying that he has his shoes tied in case he needs to run. And I got my shoes tied. I'm getting out of there. They trying to find the secret recipe to the Krabby Patty secret... Plainton. They trying to find the secret formula to the Krabby Patty recipe. Damn, they took the truck! No, they ain't take the truck, eh? Traffin' man's skirt. We gonna get another, we rich. Y'all can hide out when that's the one we on your life. They're trying to see what we on. Tell me, what's going on? Somebody gangbanging with us, BDK. Von would tweet about not wanting to discuss murders on camera and suggesting that at this point, the gang war must be over. But as we later find out, the war would be far from over. While King Von was making a name for himself as a rapper, still commanding his shooters from Obloc, he would continue to be associated with serious crimes from a distance. With the next incident involving one of his longest running enemies and a feared op of Obloc's, Wooski. Damn, this one is real good. Check this out. Damn, do I want to let this out? If you have a beard. Should I go straight through? I got other things to do, though. King Von had started out October 2018, fresh off the back of his song and music video problems, where he appeared to celebrate his gang murdering Obloc rival, Can't Get Right, Von would continue pushing his career forward, dropping a full music video for his first song, Beat That Body with THF Bezu, which featured an intro where they both walked out of jail together. Outside of the music, Von was also beginning to notice the many videos being made about him and his past, even re-sharing a YouTube video, breaking down his Twitter beef with FBG Duck, seemingly unhappy. Clearly, Von was monitoring his reputation on social media and cultivating his brand as the toughest rapper out. Doing all of this whilst real violent crimes would continue to play out on the streets of Chicago where he was from. Just before 4 p.m. on October the 9th, 2018, Chicago rapper Dooski the Mav, real name Ventress Chris, would be shot in the head on the 5600 block of South Michigan Avenue, apparently the result of a drive-by carried out by a passing ground vehicle. The evening before the murder took place, Von would tweet that there's a dark cloud over Chicago. Always has and always will be. I say this all the time. King Von would go on live a few days later with Lil Durk, saying that he's smoking Dooski, K.I., Tuca and P5. A lot of Tuca men in the ass, like this one. Gangs. A lot of fatheads with Dooski in the ass, a lot of K.I. in the ass. Eat all of them now. A lot of P5 in the ass. You gotta get real quick with it, hold on, bro. Dice bitch, Big A in the ass. Okay, you got his foot up. You can just know what's going on, man. Put your foot down. Hey, nigga, you know what's going on. Hey, I ain't said change, man. You were gangsta. Only gangsters eat that. You were P but you were wrong. You look nice. You're looking real like you're standing up. You look like a PG like us, a player gangsta. Damn, standing up, man. Violence was continuing to play out in the streets and Von was loving it because he would continue taking the details of killings his crew were allegedly involved in and placing them into musical gangbanging anthems. Just after a week after the Dooski shooting on October the 18th, he dropped a new song called... This is what made Von so his music, so like we gotta hear it, we gotta hear it because y'all started knowing who he was and y'all started piecing together, you know, the rap police and everybody that wanna have a theory on what's going on. They started piecing. They couldn't resist it. His music was almost like a drug to people, you know. World War II with us. Notable for lyrics that appear to take credit. If that wasn't in that life, it gave him a moment that it gave him, it gave him, it gave him three minutes to be in that life. Credit for the murder of female driller K.I., as well as lines dissing Tuka and Von ending the song, literally saying that he is a hit man. Von was dangerous, but now he was beginning to make it as a rapper. He wanted the whole world to know just how dangerous he really was. And one of the biggest enemies he wanted to get even with is a Tukaville G.D. by the name of Wooski. Von and Wooski had been going back and forth all the way back to 2012 when Von was catching bodies in Chicago. Von and Wooski had an infamous exchange on Twitter after trying to catch each other lacking at the local convenience store. Von would tweet at Wooski bragging about people Wooski knew who Von or his friends had killed. Something that Wooski would do back to Von in response. In one shocking back and forth in 2012, Von even bragged to Wooski that he had more bodies and attempts than him with the two arguing about who would end up getting killed first. Not only did Von and Wooski's feud in the streets run deep all the way back before 2012, but now that Von was trying to make it as a rapper, he would be contending with the likes of Wooski picking up a microphone too, with Wooski having dropped the very disrespectful song computers at the start of 2018. A track that featured numerous lyrics insulting dead Oblock affiliates, like Big A, J-Money, White White, Chino, and O.D. Perry. Wooski even ended the song saying that they're on the hunt for the killers of Poppy and TB. Two of the prominent murders seemingly committed by Oblocks get back gang. So the beef between Von and Wooski was incredibly personal and Wooski was also very close with the recently deceased Wooski, with them having made the song shooters together. Just a few days after Wooski was killed, King Von and others from Oblock would FaceTime Wooski telling him that they were going to catch him by surprise. Oh, my God! It's like two times after tonight. So, from here, it seems like Wooski's ops hatched up a plot to shoot up Wooski's funeral because they knew that he would be there. On the afternoon of the 22nd of October, at Wooski's funeral, soon after this picture is taken, a car turns up. People jump out of that car and begin shooting into the crowd outside the church, firing indiscriminately, but looking specifically to kill Wooski. Six people were hit in this shooting, with Wooski himself being shot in the head that he would miraculously survive. Only a few days after the shoot. Wooski, I heard he didn't get shot in the head directly. I heard a bullet blast off the ground and hit him. That's what I've heard. ...shooting, Von would begin tweeting. I kid you not, comparing himself to Jesus and then tweeting, laugh now, cry later, and game over, we won. With fellow Oblock shooter Muwop retweeting and agreeing with this. Over the next few years, Von would go on to drop numerous disrespectful lyrics, referencing the shooting of Wooski, like on the track, where he raps that Wooski got shot in his head and now has to take medicine for his injuries. Von would rap on the song GTA, who shot Wooski, how would I know? Von also rapped on the track, go and get him, that he will be at your funeral on time to give your mother a tissue. And then there's the lyrics on his track back again, where he literally says that he slides at funerals, shoots everyone outside, and that Wooski is going to feel this one. Going on to say, I bet Wooski still twitching, he changed something different. Those are some of the most disrespectful lyrics I have ever come across, but it's also incredibly self-incriminating. It's honestly insane that Von was getting away with stuff like this, but it really was this kind of raw and real content that attracted so many people to his music. I did a dick thing, I told ya. Whether or not they even knew what he was talking about. From here, Von would continue to- They just like to hear it. Mock Wooski throughout his career, posting disrespectful pictures to him on Instagram, on a regular basis. But ultimately, despite being literally shot in the head, Wooski is still alive today in 2023 and still posting on Instagram. In fact, Wooski would indeed outlive King Von, just like he had promised him on Twitter in 2012, the day before Boss Trail died. But for the time being, Wooski would take a step back from the beef with Von and Oblock, and a newly charged King Von would go all in on his rap career. Continuing to roll with Lil Durk, and going on to record song after song about living the lifestyle of a shot-calling killer. But unfortunately for Lil Durk, rolling with this loose cannon would soon be causing him problems too. And it would only be a matter of months after the funeral shooting that Lil Durk would find himself in a car with a trigger-happy King Von, perhaps succumbing to peer pressure and picking up a gun of his own, with Lil Durk making a split-second decision that would nearly cost him his career and freedom.
