ATLANTA, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- Atlanta police said Saturday no arrests had been made in the shooting death of rapper Slim Dunkin.
Dunkin, 23, whose real name was Mario Hamilton, was fatally wounded Friday night at an Atlanta recording studio where he was recording a music video, Atlanta's WSB-TV reported.
"Now it's my understanding prior to the video shoot, Mr. Hamilton became involved in a verbal altercation with another individual who we believe produced a handgun, discharged that weapon at least one time, striking Mr. Hamilton in the chest," city police Maj. Keith Meadows said.
Michael Mann, Hamilton's attorney, said Saturday afternoon the rapper was unarmed when he was shot three times after he and another performer "got into something, some type of argument, we aren't sure about yet."
Several people who were in the studio when Hamilton, an affiliate of Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame, was shot were questioned by police, who had yet to name a suspect or determine the motive for the shooting.
