HipHop.Org's Staff sends our deepest condolences to Mario Hamilton's family & friends.

Our thoughts and prayers will remain with you through this time of great grief and sadness.

Here is yet another unnecessary act of violence and another young life lost.

When will it cease and desist. I personally lost my cousin, he was 20 at the time of his passing.

The feeling of having a friend or family member taken from you is indescribable and yet it could be avoided so easily.

When did individuals in our society choose to pick up a gun instead of talk out our differences in opinions. It's a crying shame that shit like this happens.

God bless the family ofg Mario Hamilton and may he rest in peace. He is in God's hands now. --- Pax L. Bowling

Rapper Slim Dunkin's alleged killer, Young Vito has been taken into custody after the 28-year-old Atlanta rhymer turned himself into authorities on Monday (Dec. 26).

Young Vito, Born Vinson Hardimon, is the target suspect in Dunkin's murder case, which reportedly came about surrounding a fight over a piece of candy.

Authorities were on the hunt for Vito since Dec. 16, the day 24-year-old Slim Dunkin succumbed to his shooting injuries.

He and his attorney, Derrick Wright walked into Atlanta police headquarters on Monday to tell cops his details of the tragic incident.

Vito appeared drastically different from the man pictured on wanted posters throughout the city -- he can be seen here with his facial hair and dreadlocks shaved off.

On the day Slim Dunkin was shot, he was preparing to star in a video for 'Push Ups,' a song he was featured on alongside Gucci Mane and V-Nasty and which appears on the duo's new album, 'BAYTL.'

Before arriving on the video set, Dunkin was inside an Atlanta recording studio where the shooting and scuffle took place. Dunkin, born Mario Hamilton, has since been laid to rest in a funeral ceremony that took place on Friday (Dec. 23).

"There were at least 30 people in the studio at the time of the shooting," Det. David Quinn revealed. "They should get in touch with me. We want the facts. It's the right thing to do."

Young Vito has a history of legal troubles, which include aggravated assault, child cruelty and carrying an illegally concealed gun.
