Prosecutors say Vinson Hardimon aka "Young Vito," shot and killed fellow rapper Mario "Slim Dunkin" Hamilton in 2011.

Authorities say a fight turned deadly when Hardimon shot Hamilton in the stomach at a music studio on memorial drive in December 2011.

Hardimon turned himself into authorities two weeks later.
