Atlanta police say the rapper Slim Dunkin was gunned down Friday
evening in a city music studio as he was preparing to record a video.
Police Maj. Keith Meadows said the rapper, whose real name is Mario
Hamilton, was fatally shot in the chest after getting into an argument
with another individual.
He was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Meadows told The Associated Press late Friday that police have not
been able to identify the shooter. He said investigators have been
interviewing those who were inside the studio. He said as many as 20
people were inside the small office-type building at the time of the
shooting, which took place around 5:30 p.m., but they were in different
places.
Police have not recovered the handgun that was used. Investigators remained at the scene late Friday evening.
"Right now we're just trying to....identify who may have seen what,
really just trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together," Meadows
said. "It seems everybody witnessed something very different. We're just
trying to go back and make sense of everything."
Slim Dunkin had appeared on a number of songs with the rapper Waka
Flocka Flame. The website Mtv.com reported that the Brick Squad Monopoly
rapper was on a solo track and had recently released a 20-track mix
tape that featured Gucci Mane, Roscoe Dash and Pastor Troy.
"It appears the victim was scheduled to do a photo shoot," Meadows
said of Friday's events. "Before the video shoot took place, it appears
the victim and suspect got involved in a verbal altercation. We don't
know what that altercation was about."
"The suspect produced a weapon, discharged that handgun one time, striking the victim in the chest," Meadows said.
