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.

31. Dear thugs, please have some sort of funeral plans in place, so the taxpayers don't have to flip the bill to bury your ass when you die! But thanks for helping clean up society by killing each other!

40. The people who use their wretched lives to make hurtful and mean spirited comments about Dolla "lifestyle" are clearly out of touch with the culture of his music, so why even bother passing judgment? He just died a few hours ago and people are like who cares as if his life wasn't taken away in such a senseless and violent way.....he is someone’s child that was LOVE AND WILL BE MISSED!

You should really pray that the same fate doesn't befall your own children one day, because senseless acts of violence can happen to anyone, rich and famous or working class and average. His mother is going to have to bury her ONLY SON... I care because it's sad. Someone being shot in the HEAD is sad.

Karma is a beast and a lot of you need to be preparing for her bite. RIP DOLLA

41. SEEEEEE Ya! If you want to live by the sword then you have to be prepared to DIE by the sword. He raps about guns and being a thug and bling and calls ladies bitches and hoes. You want to live that life? Then be prepared to die in that life. I dont see a shameful death of a young talented man. I see the inevitable fate of someone that chose emulate trash. Put the guns away and live like real men.

Peace

42. "Out of touch"? It doesn't take a freakin brain surgeon to understand the meaning of songs with retarded titles like "Dough Boy" and "Good Pussy". It's sad the guy died but all we'll see is another young guy churning out the same lame, generic lyrics over the same lame, generic beats. Yawn!

43. What's sad is that this young person decided to adopt a lifestyle that ultimately cost him his life! There may be many causes, like discrimination, but it was still his choice and now he paid the ultimate price for it! He thought this was a 'cool' lifestyle and look where it got him, dead! We all have choices in life, why choose a stupid path?

Posted at 1:41AM on May 19th 2009 by Yeah, sad alright....

44. "out of touch with the culture of his music"? It doesn't take a freaking brain surgeon to understand the meaning of songs with retarded titles like "Dough Boy" and "Good Pu**y". It is sad that this young man died, but the only outcome of this will be a chance for another person to write more songs with lame, generic lyrics over the same generic, repetitive beats.
Screw Karma, I'll whip Karma any day. Peace.

45. Cudos to the LAX police for their quick response to LAPD's city wide broadcast- this sad young man was ARMED in LAX ,and could have panicked and killed innocent passengers or other police and security personnel.Tragic that young people "think" they have to kill each other over ego, and even worse when they prowl our city armed and not giving a damn.good police work by LAXPD and LAPD to take a thug off the streets
