According to authorities that told TMZ, the underground Chicago rapper King Von was NOT shot by Atlanta Police Department officers, contrary to rumors. Police officers say that investigators believe that the rapper was shot during the initial shoot-out between the two rivals outside the Atlanta nightclub, which happened before the cops responded and tried to stop the shooting.

Police say that King Von fled the scene but unfortunately, he was pronounced dead after and he was only 26 years old.
