"The preliminary investigation indicates that Dayvon Bennett, aka King Von, and a group of men left the Opium Nightclub and went to the Monaco Hookah Lounge. Once there, two men approached the group in the parking lot, and the two groups of men started to argue with each other. The argument quickly escalated to gunfire between the two groups," the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) said in a statement. According to an AP report, an on-and-off duty Atlanta police officer responded to the incident that took place around 4 am. "During the shooting incident, six men were shot during the group altercation and officer encounter. Bennett and two men died as a result of their injuries, and three were injured and are being treated at a hospital," the GBI said in a statement. They added, "At this time, our investigators believe Mr. Bennett was shot during the initial shootout between the two groups of males, prior to police responding and attempting to stop the shooting." According to the police, the investigation is still underway and will determine which individuals were shot by suspects, and if anyone was struck by gunfire from the officers. "Charges are anticipated against the two suspects detained on-scene and additional charges are likely as the investigation continues," Atlanta Police spokesman Officer Anthony W. Grant said in a statement. No officers were injured in the shooting, the police said. The rapper had released his third album, Welcome to O�Block last week.
