Rapper Slim Dunkin slain in Atlanta music studio
By The Associated PressThe Associated Press
ATLANTA â€" 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.
Meadows said the victim was in his early 20s and resided in the Atlanta
area.
Many fans were posting messages late Friday night on a Facebook page for
the rapper.
The website AllHipHop.com last February described Slim Dunkin, a Detroit
native, as an up-and-coming talent with "a unique lyrical ability and
style all his own."
In an interview with the website, he described himself as someone
"trying to provide for his family by making something out of nothing
just trying to beat the odds."
"I don't have amazing lyrical ability I just know how to speak on what I
been through and where I came from," he said.
Asked what to expect from him in 2011, he responded: "Music, music,
music!"

These are the coats we wear.
Of Devils plaid, and Witches Hair!
With a hood, or a belt, or a sleeveless one.
Doesn't count,

20 people looking the other way, in another room, "I don't want to get
involved" etc.? :P

guy in a kilt and someone else said it was a skinny 5 foot 5 inch
albino.
It is almost too much to hope that there are security cameras in and
around the building. If the witnesses are clamming up at least that
would give the police somewhere to start working.

guy was recording there. I wonder if anyone saw the crime, will think
of that and at least have a common courtesy to drop a dime here. (Cell
calls are minute based, but whatever.)

bus crashes, helicopter crashes, ODs, yeah, but not so much murder.
This whole trend of rappers getting murdered basically blows. (Murders
blow.)

I can think of one rocker so far who was murdered, that Dimebag guy
when that jerk shot up the concert.
