Rapper Dolla reportedly shot, killed

Posted: 18 May 2009 10:03 PM PDT

Rapper Dolla (né Anthony Burton II) was shot and killed outside of Los Angeles' Beverly Center shopping mall just after 3 p.m. Monday.

ET reports:
The Los Angeles Times reports that Atlanta-based rapper Dolla (né Anthony Burton II) was shot and killed outside of Los Angeles' Beverly Center shopping mall just after 3 p.m. PDT on Monday. Though the Los Angeles Police Dept. would not confirm the identity of the victim, the Times reports that Dolla's publicist, Sue Vannasing, confirmed to the newspaper that her client was shot outside the mall, while waiting with fellow rapper D.J. Shabbazz. Dolla is believed to be in his early twenties.

The shooting reportedly occurred during a group melee, possibly also involving a knife. Police have detained a person of interest, whom the LAPD would not name and said had not yet been arrested. Dolla is perhaps best known for the single "Feelin' Myself," which was featured in the 2006 dance film Step Up.


Updates: Aubery Berry is the Suspect Identified in Dolla Murder. TMZ reports:
A man has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of rapper Dolla -- we've learned he goes by the name Aubery Berry.

Here's what went down. Sources say after the shooting, the LAPD put out an alert that the suspect may have fled to the Los Angeles International Airport in an attempt to fly out of the city.

LAX police spotted a man who matched the description, sitting in the lobby area of Terminal 1. Cops approached Berry and almost immediately he said he knew why cops were there and then raised his hands and told them he had a 9 millimeter handgun in his waistband.

Berry (we have not confirmed if this is his legal name or an alias) -- a 20-year-old African American male -- was taken into custody.
