Q1: Did the King Von autopsy photo leak from the Atlanta police or medical examiner?
A1: No. Inquiries confirmed the leak did not originate from the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office or the Atlanta Police Department. The photograph was captured inside a private Atlanta mortuary facility after county authorities legally released Bennett’s body.
Q2: Was the person who took the photo ever criminally prosecuted?
A2: No state or federal criminal charges were formally filed. Instead, the individual faced employment termination and potential administrative sanctions from the state board overseeing funeral services, alongside exposure to civil liabilities from Bennett’s family.
Q3: What happened to the criminal case against King Von’s suspected shooter?
A3: In August 2023, Fulton County prosecutors dismissed murder charges against Timothy Leeks (Lul Timm). The dismissal followed legal evaluations involving Georgia’s expansive self-defense and defense-of-others statutes. However, retaliatory tensions continued, culminating in an October 2024 federal murder-for-hire indictment against five Chicago men accused of targeting rivals in California to avenge Bennett’s death.
