Young Vito Denied Bond Over Slim Dunkin Murder Case

ATL rap artist Young Vito, the accused killer of Brick Squad rapper Slim Dunkin, was denied bond yesterday in court. More details on the case below.


The 28-year-old murder suspect was returned to the Fulton County jail on muder and gun possession charges on Tuesday following probable cause and bond hearings.

Atlanta Police homicide Detective David Quinn told the paper that he not only has the testimony of two witnesses, but also evidence (Vito’s laptop which was found at the studio and his name was written on a dry-erase board there as well with the words “next up to rap” written next to it) that tie the suspect to the crime scene.

Young Vito has been arrested at least four times in Fulton County, dating back to 2004 on charges that included some kind of gun violation, according to jail records. His most recent arrest, in April 2011, was for aggravated assault, cruelty to children and gun offenses.
