Suspect Identified in Dolla Murder

Posted May 18th 2009 10:17PM by TMZ Staff

DollaA man has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of rapper Dolla -- we've learned he goes by the name Aubrey 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 23-year-old African American male -- was taken into custody.

2. Dolla goes by the name Aubrey Berry, and the man who shot him goes by the name Aubrey Berry?

Your story makes no sense. None.

7. Dolla was probably the last up and coming rapper of this business to realistically succeed. i helped develop him and it hurts me to hear about this

8. so sad that he passed so young. had a hard life but he is in a better place now. i hope the people that did that to him will die in jail. no one deserves to be shot in the head. R.I.P. DOLLA

10. His name was not Aubrey Berry. That may have been an alias. His real name was Roderick Anthony Burton II.

12. Actually number 4 (Josiah) was correct! It did name both the shooter and the victim by the same name. This is such a senseless thing. A life lost becasue of someone elses sorry ass!

13. what i wanna know is how this dummy thought he was going to get through security with a gun on him? no wonder he was found just sittin in the airport..prolly tryin to figure out his next move..whatever the beef was it couldnt have possible been that serious to shoot someone in broad daylight like that...now a talented young man is dead ..such a shame..

eager to see what the reason was tho behind this

15. "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."



Um... Halle Berry and her boyfriend (Gabriel Aubry), anyone?
