As the search for the person responsible for the death of popular Atlanta rapper Bankroll Fresh continued Monday, friends gathered outside the studio where he was shot and killed and played music.

Detectives and crime scene technicians were on the scene outside the recording studio — which is home to high-profile acts like 2 Chainz and Travis Porter — well into Saturday morning, marking and collecting dozens of shell casings. Car windows were shattered and at least one bullet struck a business across the street from the studio.

Homeland Security collected surveillance camera footage, police said.

Atlanta City Councilman Andre Dickens, who lives in the area of the shooting, said he wants the business shut down.

“After giving them a second chance, now I’m on the side of the community where we were before in saying this type of activity cannot be in our neighborhoods,” Dickens said.

Bankroll Fresh, who came up as”Young Fresh,” worked under Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz, who owns part of the studio and the record label.
