Charges Filed In Shooting of Atlanta Rapper

Prosecutors have filed a murder charge against a man suspected of killing Dolla at a Los Angeles mall. Aubrey Berry faces murder and assault charges. The 23-year-old Berry is scheduled to make his first court appearance Wednesday afternoon. He remains in custody, held on $1 million bail. Berry is accused of the shooting death of Roderick Anthony Burton II, an up-and-coming rapper known as Dolla. Burton was shot in the valet area of a Los Angeles mall Monday afternoon. He was in Los Angeles to work on a studio album. Dolla, a protege of Akon, recently released two singles with his mentor: "Like This" and "She So Fine." Police have not released a motive for the 21-year-old Dolla's slaying.
