Q1: Was the leaked autopsy photo confirmed to be King Von?
A1: Yes. The leaked image was authentic, showing Bennett’s body post-autopsy with visible chest closure sutures. It was taken without permission inside an embalming or mortuary facility rather than released as part of an official government record.
Q2: Who was ultimately held legally responsible for King Von’s death?
A2: Timothy Leeks (known as Lul Timm) was arrested and charged with felony murder by the Atlanta Police Department. In August 2023, the Fulton County District Attorney's office formally dismissed the charges after evaluating video evidence under Georgia’s self-defense and defense-of-others legal statutes.
Q3: Did Atlanta police bullets strike King Von during the shootout?
A3: No. Forensic ballistics and trajectory analysis established that none of the bullets fired by responding APD officers struck Bennett. His fatal injuries came entirely from handgun fire discharged by Leeks in the parking lot.
Q4: Why was Timothy Leeks cleared under Georgia law?
A4: Georgia law allows the use of deadly force if an individual reasonably believes it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to themselves or a third party. Surveillance footage documented Bennett and his crew physically attacking Tyquian Bowman, which provided the basis for a statutory defense-of-others claim.
