News broke Friday night that Brick Squad rapper Slim Dunkin had been murdered at an Atlanta studio. No other details were released but as the days go by, pieces of the puzzle are slowly coming out. Apparently, witnesses are saying the fight that ultimately led to a fatal gunshot started over a piece of candy. Absolutely sickening! I hope the guy that did this is no longer welcome in ANY circle of these guys and that the police get him ASAP! More details below.
“The information we’re getting, it’s unconfirmed, but witnesses are saying this whole thing started over a piece of candy,” homicide detective David Quinn told “Action News” on camera.
According to witnesses, Dunkin, born Mario Hamilton, grabbed a piece of candy from another man while inside an Atlanta recording studio, which led to an argument and then a fistfight. The scuffle ended with Slim being shot once in the chest. He was then transported to Grady Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
There were a number of witnesses at the scene, but because police first arrived at the hospital and not the scene of the crime, they didn’t have the opportunity to properly interview all of the people who were present.
There will be a public viewing on Thursday at Atlanta’s Willie A. Watkins Funeral Home, located at 1003 Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard, from the hours of 6 p.m. ET to 9 p.m. ET.
