Young Vito Turns Himself In

Rapper Young Vito turned himself in to police today (December 26) for his suspected role in the shooting death of fellow Atlanta rapper Slim Dunkin, born Mario Hamilton, after an argument on December 16th. The altercation reportedly stemmed from an argument over a piece of candy.

Vito, born Vincent Hardimon, surrendered to police around 3 p.m.

“We got a call from Mr. Hardimon’s attorney. They wanted to turn themselves in to me personally,” said Detective David Quinn.

“We did get some cooperation from witnesses but we’re still urging the public, whoever was at 1074 Memorial Drive on Dec. 16, to give us a call,” Quinn said.

WSB in Atlanta reports that Hardimon was free on bond, following a previous arrest for pulling a weapon on two women in April.

Slim Dunkin Murder Details Emerge

Details have emerged in the murder of rapper Slim Dunkin. Dunkin was a member of Gucci Mane's Brick Squad 1019 camp, and he was shot and killed outside an Atlanta studio last week.

According to reports, Slim was preparing to go to a music video and photo shoot with Gucci, when he became embroiled in an altercation with someone else at the studio. During the dispute, Slim, born Mario Hamilton , was shot in the chest and died.

"It appears the victim was scheduled to do a photo shoot," said Police Maj. Keith Meadows. "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."

Anywhere between thirteen and twenty people were present in the building when the shooting took place. Authorities have yet to identify the shooter.
