Atlanta Strip Clubs: Suspect in Dolla Murder Acquitted
Posted on May 22nd, 2010 in Atlanta strip clubs
The rapper allegedly got into an altercation with Berry and woman and was shot four times—three times in the back and once in his bicep. He later died after being transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center just blocks away.
The LAPD promptly arrested Berry about an hour later, after he fled the scene and made his way to LAX. He was charged with murder and two counts of assault.
Berry pleaded not guilty to all charges, however, and testified last week that he acted in self defense, saying 21-year-old Dolla threatened to kill him and that he believed he had a gun.
Although Berry and Burton reportedly were involved in a fight at an Atlanta strip club just a couple of weeks before the L.A. shooting, Berry’s attorney, Howard Price, emphasized the self-defense angle, saying Burton’s music and online videos were examples of his supposed gang ties.
