Emerging rap star Slim Dunkin died at hospital in Atlanta, Georgia after he was shot in the chest on Friday afternoon.

The 24-year-old member of the Brick Squad Monopoly and 1017 Brick Squad rap groups, whose real name is Mario Hamilton, was at a rap video shoot on Memorial Drive when he got into an argument with another man, who shot him with a pistol, according to police. Hamilton died at the Grady Memorial Hospital.

Hamilton's attorney, Michael Mann, told WSBTV.com on Saturday that he got into an argument with one of the performers in the video shoot and was shot three times.

No arrest was made as the police are still interviewing 20 people at the studio, including rappers Gucci Mane and V-Nasty, about what happened.

"It seems everybody witnessed something very different. We're just trying to go back and make sense of everything," Police Major Keith Meadows told Ajc.com.

Hamilton was described as a childhood friend of rap artist Waka Flocka Flame, who heads the Brick Squad Monopoly label and is also a member of the 1017 Brick Squad headed by Gucci Mane. He appeared on Gucci Mane and Waka's "Ferrari Boyz" album released over the summer, according to Ajc.com.

A close friend, Nicole Westmoreland, described the victim as becoming a top rapper after only two years in the music scene.

"He was dedicated to it and I just talked to him, I saw him today. But I actually just talked to him the other day, one of the things he told me was he probably was going to make it the top. So, I can't believe this happened today. I feel like one of our greatest got his life ended, definitely short, way before his time. And I just can't believe it," said Westmoreland, according to WSBTV.com.
