Dolla’s supposed killer acquitted

Aubrey Berry, the music promoter who was suspected of shooting rapper Dolla was recently found to be not guilty in the trial for Dolla’s murder. Even though the police arrested him at LAX the very same day of the murder because they thought he was trying to flee and he admitted to having “the 9 mm handgun”, Aubrey Berry apparently managed to skip prison, hopefully on good grounds. Let it not be said later on that the one who shot Dolla got away with it, otherwise somebody’s going to have review their justice system because it might just have a few bugs.

Slain rapper Dolla had earlier dispute with murder suspect

Slain rapper Dolla may have been caught in an earlier dispute with the events promoter who was arrested for his suspected murder, according to a US report.

The dispute, or altercation, was thought to have happened at a strip club that is popular with the hip-hop crowd. Police did not make the location of the incident available.

But the Los Angeles Times said it interviewed an employee of Platinum 21 Adult Entertainment who recalled Dolla in a dispute with a man going by the “initials A.B.” on May 13.

Los Angeles detectives are reported to be travelling to Atlanta where both Dolla, aka Roderick Anthony Burton II, and the promoter Aubrey Louis Berry, 23, had both been living to investigate.

Dolla was killed in the valet parking area of LA’s upscale Beverly Center shopping mall.

Berry is believed to have fled from the scene of the shooting in a silver Mercedes Benz SUV and boarded a flight to Los Angeles International Airport, where he was apprehended.
