King Von: Death, Age, Last Song, and 63rd/O’Block Legacy

Ask anyone who followed Chicago drill rap in 2020, and King Von’s voice is unmistakable: a storyteller who turned the South Side’s Parkway Gardens into a lyrical address. He was 26 when he died in an Atlanta shooting on November 6, 2020, days after his debut album arrived, and the gaps become obvious once you separate court-documented dates from rumor.

Born: August 9, 1994 ·
Died: November 6, 2020 ·
Age at death: 26 ·
Debut album: Welcome to O’Block (2020)

Six facts anchor King Von’s public record, and one pattern runs through them: everything he released arrived in a single compressed stretch of 2020, then continued after his death.

What led to King Von’s death?

The shooting that killed King Von unfolded in public, which is why the outline is well documented even though the motive is not.

Who shot King Von when he died?

• The location: the parking lot of the Monaco Hookah Lounge in Atlanta (NPR’s obituary)
• The context: an argument between two groups escalated to gunfire (USA Today’s coverage)
• The timing: early Friday, November 6, after the shooting (Okayplayer’s report)

Lul Timm is the name that surfaces most often in connection with the case, and his exact legal status is the detail most often misstated online. Court records, not comment sections, are the only reliable way to check it.

Why did Lul Timm shoot King Von?

• Verified reporting documents the scene, not a confirmed motive
• The documented context was an altercation, not a planned ambush
• No cited record in this article establishes intent

This is where rumor fills the gap. What’s confirmed is the argument and the gunfire; what’s missing is any verified account of why. Until a court filing says otherwise, treat every “reason” posted online as unverified.

The pattern: a documented scene with an unconfirmed cause. The shooting is public record; the intent is still a legal question.

How old was Von when he died?

The age is simple; the biography behind it is what takes space.

When was King Von born?

• Born Dayvon Daquan Bennett on August 9, 1994, according to Wikipedia’s entry
• The math from the dates above: 26 years old at death

The full name matters because searches sometimes mix him up with other artists. The dates don’t move: August 9, 1994, to November 6, 2020.

What was King Von known for?

• Released Welcome to O’Block and Levon James in 2020, per Essence’s obituary
• A South Side Chicago rapper whose lyrics read like short stories
• Drill’s narrative side: street stories, named places, loyalties

Essence’s obituary pointed to two 2020 releases — Levon James and the album that followed. The storytelling style is how his catalog is usually framed; the places he named are what fans kept searching.

What this means: the biography is short and the discography is shorter. Every release carries weight because there aren’t many.

Who inherited King Von’s money?

This is the question where the record goes quiet.

What was King Von’s net worth?

• The cited records for this article do not include a verified net-worth figure
• Online estimates vary widely and should be treated as estimates
• Probate and royalty filings are where a real figure would appear

Every number you see in a search result is someone’s guess. The actual accounting sits in probate filings, estate tax documents, and royalty statements — none of which surface in the reporting reviewed here.

How many children did King Von have?

• Related searches for “kids,” “son,” and “mom” are common
• Confirmed answers would live in obituaries and legal filings, not fan pages
• No verified count appears in the records cited here

The questions about Von’s children and family are easy to find; the verified answers are harder. Until probate filings or family statements confirm the details, the responsible answer is: not publicly documented in the sources reviewed.

The catch: the money question is where speculation runs fastest because no public accounting has been published. An inheritance figure without a court record is a rumor with a dollar sign.

What was King Von’s last song before his death?

The short answer: an album and a single, both released inside the final weeks of his life.

What was King Von’s final album?

• Welcome to O’Block, released October 30, 2020, was his debut studio album (USA Today’s coverage)
• “I Am What I Am” was the latest single before the album, per Billboard’s report
• One wrinkle: Kiddle’s summary lists October 29, 2020 — the timeline below flags the conflict

So the honest split is: “I Am What I Am” was the final single to arrive before the album, and Welcome to O’Block was the final body of work, released days before the shooting. Whether Von recorded anything after it isn’t confirmed by the public record.

What does “Took Her to the O” have to do with King Von?

• “Took Her to the O” is one of the most-searched tracks in his catalog
• The “O” in the title points to O’Block, the same neighborhood behind his debut album

The title works as a boast and a map reference at the same time. It wasn’t his final release, but it’s often the first song new listeners find, which is why it keeps appearing in searches about his death.

The pattern: his final week and his biggest songs point to the same address. The catalog keeps circling back to O’Block — which makes the geography question next.

Why does King Von say 63rd?

63rd isn’t a random number in his lyrics. It’s a street, a neighborhood, and the closest thing to a thesis statement.

Is Lil Durk from O Block?

• Von and Durk were close collaborators in the same Chicago scene
• The “from O’Block” debate is a fan boundary question without a legal answer

O’Block is the Parkway Gardens neighborhood near 63rd Street, and Durk’s own roots sit in the same city and the same drill ecosystem. Whether that counts as “from O’Block” depends on the block lines you draw. The documented part is the partnership.

What area does 63rd refer to?

• 63rd Street runs through Chicago’s South Side, where Von grew up
• O’Block is the neighborhood name used in his lyrics and local drill culture
• NPR said Welcome to O’Block made his attachment to home and O’Block especially clear (NPR’s obituary)

In Von’s music, 63rd and O’Block are the same statement: this is where I’m from. The Parkway Gardens homes near 63rd give the name its weight; the album title put it on the cover.

Why this matters: the geography explains the music better than any biography line. 63rd and O’Block are the coordinates of the entire catalog.

Did Lil Durk cry when King Von died?

This is a question about grief, and the evidence is all indirect.

Why did Lil Durk cough at King Von?

• The “cough” moment comes from fan-observed video
• Neither artist confirmed what it meant
• Tribute posts and reaction clips exist but don’t prove emotion

Public grief is visible and unknowable at once. The cough happened; the meaning never got a confirmed answer.

Did Lil Durk like Von?

The partnership is the evidence that matters. Durk was Von’s most visible collaborator, and the music they made together is the strongest public record of the relationship. Everything else is interpretation.

The trade-off: fans want certainty about a friendship, and the only certainty is the collaboration. The emotional reading of any clip stays a projection, however sympathetic.

Where that leaves the record: King Von’s story is fixed at the points that matter — born August 9, 1994, dead November 6, 2020, with one debut album in between. The legal and financial aftermath is the part still in motion: estate questions, court records, posthumous releases. For anyone searching his name today, the choice is clear: build the timeline from cited reporting and court documents, or let the comment-section version rewrite it.
