According to Power news report ... "VP Records has expressed sadness at the passing of Joel Chin, 35, who was shot at his home by unknown assailants last night.
"Joel literally grew up in the Reggae business and put his vast knowledge and connections at the service of the music he loved passionately," according to the VP Records website.
He was the grandson of VP Records founder, Vincent Chin and the son of Reggae producer, Clive Chin.
"Joel's signings helped VP Records become the largest Reggae label in the world and bring Reggae into the mainstream music market culminating with Sean Paul's 'Dutty Rock' album which sold over seven million units worldwide," the website also said.
The producer, according to VP Records, left New York for Jamaica to years ago to spend time on music production, songwriting and exposing new talents.
The Stony Hill Police have reported that at approximately 10:45 pm, Chin was exiting his vehicle at home, when he was pounced upon by armed men.
Residents allegedly heard explosions and summoned the police, who found Joel with gunshot wounds.
The scene outside Joel's home was processed and the Major Investigations Taskforce is investigating.
He is survived by his mother, father, his newborn daughter, two brothers, and three sisters.
