An Atlanta music producer was shot to death inside a Brookhaven apartment Thursday, and his son was arrested, according to police.

Clinton “D-Billz” Dorsey, 48, was fighting with his son at the ARIUM Lenox Park complex on Gables Drive when things escalated, Brookhaven police confirmed. The complex is just south of Peachtree Road.

“A tragic altercation over a dog breeding business ensued between a father and his son, resulting in the son, Edward Dorsey, retrieving a semi-automatic pistol and fatally shooting his father,” police spokesman Anthony Petron said.

Police were called, and when they arrived, they found Dorsey with a gunshot wound to his chest.

Edward Dorsey, 22, was booked into the DeKalb County Jail. He faces charges of voluntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, Petron said.

Clinton Dorsey was known for working with artists such as Lil Baby.
