Detectives are investigating the fatal shooting of Dayvon Bennett, better known as King Von, 26, of Chicago. He was shot at about 4 a.m. outside of the Monaco Hookah Lounge at 255 Trinity Ave.

The shooting stemmed from an argument that began at the Opium, a downtown nightclub at 960 Spring St., police said. Witnesses told police it was a conflict between two groups of people.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has the case since two off-duty Atlanta Police Department police officers intervened and exchanged fire with the shooters.
