Police say rapper Slim Dunkin, 24, whose real name is Mario Hamilton, died Friday night after being shot at an Atlanta recording studio.
The shooting happened along Memorial drive in southeast Atlanta.
Investigators said Hamilton was shooting a music video at the studio when something went wrong.
“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,” Maj. Keith Meadows with the Atlanta Police Department said.
Police said they have questioned about 8 people who were at the studio at the time of the shooting.
Investigators are still trying to figure out what triggered the argument and who the shooter is, along with what the relationship was between the shooter and Slim Dunkin.
Hamilton was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Hamilton was a close affiliate with Atlanta based rapper Waka Flaka Flame.
