Police Name Suspect In Slim Dunkins Murder [Young Vito]
Police Name Suspect In Slim Dunkins Murder [Young Vito] Police Name Suspect In Slim Dunkin Murder Thursday (December 22) marked the first breakthrough in the Murder of Brick Squad Rapper, Slim Dunkin, as police have identified a suspect.

Vito, whose real name is Vinson Hardimon, is currently at large and authorities suspect his safety is in jeopardy. "We are urging Mr. Hardimon to turn himself in to authorities because we have reason to believe he may be in danger," the release said.

While the description of Hardimon's character may indicate his short control over his temper, by no means does it justify his behavior. The breakthrough in the case came after Waka Flocka and Gucci Mane planned a very elaborate home-going celebration for Dunkin, whose real name is Mario Hamilton. Two limos were going to transport Dunkin's family, along with a "white horse-drawn carriage, massive white floral arrangements, and a white dove release ceremony."

Gucci and Flocka have also offered to pay for a bulk of the ceremony. Police are seeking the public's help in finding Young Vito and said calls can be made to Atlanta Crimestoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or contact ...Video Rating: 3 / 5
For nearly six years, they were locked up facing a possible death sentence for a grisly 2001 triple homicide in Ypsilanti Township. On Friday, a federal judge dismissed the charges against Deondre Byrd and three other men after a federal prosecutor said new evidence came to light last Friday that prevented the government from taking the case to trial. It was the second time in three years that Byrd escaped murder charges. He has been imprisoned in recent years for both the triple homicide and the slaying of a 16-year-old girl in Ann Arbor, but he has been convicted on only a federal gun charge. "Obviously, I'm pretty upset that almost 11 years later, we still don't have any answers," said Christy Brown, 30, a close family friend of the victims of the triple homicide. She said she got a call from federal prosecutors Thursday saying the case was being dropped, but they wouldn't elaborate. "I was very surprised. I honestly thought they were making some...
