David Alexander Smith, who was known in entertainment circles as "Ice," was shot in the head and chest during an argument with two men who took his keys and fled in his car, police said.
Police said they did not know the motive for the shooting.
Smith created the "Gully Creeper" that Bolt danced each time he won a race at the Olympics last August.
Bolt set world records in the 100 meters and 200 meters and was a member of the Jamaican quartet that won gold in the 4-by-100 metre relay.
