Rapper King Von had excitedly told fans about his new music just hours before he was shot dead. The talented 26-year-old musician, real name Dayvon Bennett, had hinted at a brand new video to accompany his track before he was gunned down in a car park in the early hours of Friday morning. The dad of three had shared a picture of himself sitting in a black car looking down at the camera on Thursday, the evening before his tragic death.
A stack of paper money lay at his feet in a bundle, and the rapper wore designer trainers, a blingy watch and a bright orange jacket for the promotional picture. "Armed & Dangerous Video Drops 2'morrow... y'all want it?" he captioned the moody snap on his Instagram. The rapper had been celebrating the release of his new album Welcome To O Block on the night of his death, and had urged fans to join him at a club called Opium for the launch party between 10pm and 3am.
