A suspect has finally been named in the murder of Atlanta rapper Slim Dunkin.

As previously reported, Dunkin was fatally shot in the chest reportedly over a piece of candy at an Atlanta recording studio.

Police report that at least 20 people were on the scene at the time of his murder but no one came forward as a witness.

Now according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, rapper Young Vito may be responsible for the crime.

The 28-year-old rapper, born Vinson Hardimon, is wanted by authorities who believe he may be in danger.

“We are urging Mr. Hardimon to turn himself in to authorities because we have reason to believe he may be in danger,” police said in a statement.

 

Authorities are urging anyone with any information on his whereabouts to contact Atlanta Crimestoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or contact the Atlanta Police Department’s homicide unit at 404-546-4235.
