Slim Dunkin, whose real name is Mario Hamilton, was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died. He has lost his life because of a gun violence.
Maj. Keith Meadows of the Atlanta Police Department confirmed that the Brick Squad Monopoly rapper was fatally shot in the chest at around 5:30 P.M. after he got involved in a verbal altercation with another individual.
"It appears the victim was scheduled to do a photo shoot. 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.
'Right now we're just trying to….identify who may have seen what, really just trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together,' he said. 'It seems everybody witnessed something very different. We're just trying to go back and make sense of everything.'
