Death

On December 16, 2011, around 5:30 PM, Hamilton was preparing to shoot a music video when he engaged in a verbal altercation with another person. He was then shot once in the chest with a handgun. Hamilton was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Witnesses stated that the argument that led to Hamilton's killing was over a piece of candy. Statements conflicted, however, with a police officer telling the AP, "It seems everybody witnessed something very different... We’re just trying to go back and make sense of everything."
On December 26, Vinson Hardimon, also known as Young Vito, was arrested by Atlanta police after turning himself in and was charged with the murder of Hamilton. On February 26, 2013, Hardimon was acquitted of the murder charge; however, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison on related assault and weapons charges.
