Who killed King Von? What to know as Lil Durk acquitted in Quando Rondo murder-for-hire trial

In a recent trial, rapper Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Devontay Banks, was acquitted of charges related to a murder-for-hire plot targeting Quando Rondo in retaliation for King Von's death. The trial came after King Von's shooting death in Atlanta in 2020, which occurred during a confrontation between members of his entourage and those accompanying Quando Rondo.

King Von, whose real name is Dayvon Bennett, was fatally shot outside the Monaco Hookah Lounge on November 6, 2020, along with two others. Despite prosecutors alleging that Lil Durk financed the murder-for-hire plot, a federal jury found Banks not guilty on all counts. The verdict does not change the legal status of King Von's homicide investigation, which ended without any convictions. The case remains open, and no one has been convicted or sentenced for King Von's death.
