The man accused of killing rapper Slim Dunkin was found not guilty earlier day.

In a recent report from AllHipHop, Atlanta native Vinson Hardimon – also known as rapper Young Vito – was found not guilty in the murder of Slim Dunkin. Although police were unable to recover the weapon used to kill the aspiring Brick Squad 1017 alum, multiple witness reports point to Hardimon as the shooter.

Despite his acquittal on murder charges, Hardimon was found guilty of aggravated assault and possession of a handgun during the commission of a felony crime. As a result, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Craig Schwall sentenced Hardimon to a maximum 25 year sentence in jail.
