Dolla’s Alleged Killer Pleads Innocent
The man accused of murdering rapper Dolla has pleaded not guilty.
Aubrey Louis Berry entered the plea to murder and assault charges in a Los Angeles courtroom on Friday. The 23-year-old Atlanta resident remains in jail on $5 million bail. His lawyer claims the shooting was self-defense.
Dolla, 21, was killed while waiting in the valet area at the Beverly Center shopping mall in Los Angeles on Monday. The suspect was arrested later that day trying to board a flight out of LAX.
The rapper, born Roderick Anthony Burton II, was preparing to release his debut album Another Day, Another Dolla on Akon’s label.
Akon released a statement to ABCNews.com on Tuesday. “Dolla was part of the Konvict Entertainment family and an incredible artist. This is a senseless crime and the industry has lost a real talent. Our heart goes out to his family, friends, and fans.”

FIRST OF ALL… Before you say someone LOOKS guilty know them.. He doesn’t look guilty he looks SAD.. As we all know Dolla was part of the Crips gang and we all know they are deep in LA.. Who wouldnt fear for their life if their life was threatened. No1 knows for sure what happened so lets see what the evidence brings before we make our comments.. A.B your in my prayers…
