The documentary, "King Von: Rap's First Serial Killer," has returned to YouTube.

The King Von documentary, Rap's First Serial Killer, has returned to YouTube after briefly being taken down, earlier this week. The piece connects him to several alleged murders before his death in November 2020. The creator, Trap Lore Ross, confirmed that the video was taken down in a post on Twitter, Sunday.

“Video got taken down,” Trap Lore Ross wrote at the time. “Hopefully I can get it back soon, working with YouTube now but it’s Easter weekend. Still on Patreon if you’re desperate.” The video has since been re-uploaded to the platform. The documentary puts forth the theory that Von was connected to at least ten murders. In the killing of Malcolm Stuckey, Von was acquitted prior to his death.

As for reactions to the documentary, plenty of King Von fans came to his defense. “You got p5, Ki and modell. The rest of the bodies you are accusing him of are speculated but still you chose to use ‘rap’s first serial killer’ as the title and went ahead to compare a gang banger to jeffery dahmer,” one popular Reddit post reads. "Stop spreading false information on a dead man and get your shit together you are becoming like hip-hop daily which is embarrassing."

Others sided with the documentarian. One of the most-liked comments on the video reads, "The wild part is folks can’t be mad at dude for making this documentary the same information he’s sharing is the same information that Von HIMSELF and his peers put out there, NOBODY ELSE. This information was already there he just cumulated all of it into one complete video."

King Von was shot and killed in Atlanta, Georgia following an altercation with Quando Rondo's crew. He was just 26 years old. The prime suspect in the killing was identified as Timothy Leeks shortly afterward. He was later released on a $100,000 bond in March 2021. Check out Rap's First Serial Killer below.
