More than 50 shell casings were collected from the scene, Channel 2 Action News reported.

Atlanta police spokesman Donald Hannah said officers responded to Street Execs Studios on Defoor Place NW shortly after 11 p.m. Friday, finding “a large crowd of people fleeing the location.” Authorities later learned that the 28-year-old rapper, whose birth name is Trentavious White, had been taken to Hughes Spalding Children’s Hospital after leaving the scene “in an unknown vehicle.”

He died just before midnight.

“We are not aware of anyone else being wounded (in the shooting),” Hannah said in an email.

A possible motive was unclear. It was also unclear if any arrests had been made. Hannah said Homeland Security responded to the scene and “recovered video evidence.”

White, best known for his single “Hot Boy,” was affilitied with another local rapper, 2Chainz. He and other members of the hip hop community took to social media Saturday to mourn and offer condolences.

Friday night’s shooting was at least the fourth involving an Atlanta-area recording studio in less than two years.

In April 2014, a drive-by shooting was reported at a studio on Forrest Street, less than a mile south of Street Execs. Last July, several luxury cars were shot up outside the Defoor Hills Road studio of rapper Rick Ross. That location is less than two miles north of Street Execs.

About a month later, two men were shot after leaving 11th Street Studios, about two miles south of Street Execs and not far from the Georgia Tech campus.
