Do they have any reasoning for this crime yet? I mean, there has to be some history or this guy was hired by someone who disliked the rapper to kill him, right?

If it was just... random, that is frightening in and of itself.

slim dunkin was a rapper with bricksquad and he had tremendous talent. i only started listening to them a few months before he was murdered and i will miss his music. the person who did this also went on to make a cd and brag about it. cant count how many good people have been killed over music! the tragedy is people like you dont even know who he is or why he was murdered or care he was murdered. when 2pac and biggie died everyone in the world new about it. IF NO ONE ELSE WILL SAY I WILL R.I.P. MARIO HAMILTON (SLIM DUNKIN)
