23-year-old Aubrey Louis Berry has been arrested in connection with the Beverly Center shooting of Roderick Anthony Burton II, A.K.A. “Dolla.”
Police said in a statement Tuesday that 23-year-old Aubrey Louis Berry of Georgia was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport with a gun Monday night. His bail was set at $1 million.
Burton was shot several times in a parking structure at the Beverly Center, and was declared dead at a hospital, police said.
Police did not elaborate on the motive for the shooting. Records indicate that neither Burton nor Berry had been convicted of a crime.
Burton’s publicist, Sue Vannasing, told the L.A. Times that the rapper was waiting near a valet stand following a shopping trip when he was shot.
Dolla worked on the soundtrack for the 2006 movie “Step Up” and most recently collaborated on two singles with Akon: “Like This” and “She So Fine.”
Dolla was “an incredible artist,” said Akon’s Konvict Entertainment on Tuesday.
“This is a senseless crime and the industry has lost a real talent. Our heart goes out to his family, friends, and fans.”
