From the L.A. Times:

An Atlanta event promoter charged with fatally shooting rapper Dolla at the Beverly Center pleaded not guilty today to murder and two counts of assault.

Aubrey Louis Berry, 23, is accused of gunning down Roderick Anthony Burton II, known professionally as Dolla, and shooting at two other people in the Atlanta rapper’s entourage Monday in the valet area of the popular Westside mall.

Authorities allege that Berry, who had an altercation with Burton at an Atlanta strip club this month, fired at Burton, 21, and two people who were with him. Berry, who fled the scene hours after the shooting, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport with the purported murder weapon tucked in this waistband.

Berry’s attorney, Howard R. Price, said his client did shoot the rapper but in self-defense.

“At worst it’s a manslaughter case, at best it’s a case of self-defense,” he told The Times this week.

From Elites TV:

On May 13th, Aubrey Berry went to Platinum 21 (a strip club in Atlanta).  Dolla was with his immediate affiliates (Mansfeild Crips – Gang), and was pursuing the same girl Aubrey was dancing with, which led to a verbal dispute.

Dolla and about 5-7 affiliates rushed toward Mr. Berry and began to jump on him by himself. Aubrey covered his face as much as possible and fell to the ground. It wasn’t long before the bouncers started clearing everyone out. Dolla and his friends started taunting Aubrey Berry with Crip gang signs and blue rags.

The cops escorted Mr. Berry to his car so he could get to safety. Next Saturday afternoon, Aubrey Berry left the gym early to go meet with a club owner in LA. He went to PF Changs in at the Beverly Center, Monday with his point of contact in LA to discuss this party.  Dolla walked in with 3 of his crip gang members and started to eyeball Aubrey and taunted him, saying  “your on our turf now.”

Dolla got on the phone and called for backup, and within 3 minutes the restaurant was filled with the Mansfeild Crip gang members ready to kill Aubrey Berry. Mr. Berry quickly rushed out of the restaurant, scarred for his life as they followed close behind him. Dolla and 3 other gang members approached Aubrey and said “we are going to kill you.” Mr. Berry was able to remove his 9mm from his holster before the others and get a close shot at Dolla, unfortunately he was to close to aim anywhere else but his head.

Aubrey felt his life was threatened by gang members, so he protected himself. I confirmed with other gang members that Dolla was going to kill Aubrey Berry, so he can get a higher rank in the street gang notoriously known as the Mansfeild Crips. This was an act of self defense and the LAPD is going to withhold the evidence. They wont release the video tapes to Aubrey’s Lawyer nor will they investigate the gang violence.

    they are really trying to make it like he is innocent. but “he tried to purchase a plane ticket and run home to his mom” lol please Elitestv.com, get someone else to write these articles…

    who hired this guy to write this story??? words are misspelled and who says, “your on our turf now”? what is this the 50′s or something? it’s suppose to be spelled “you’re” anyway. if it was really self defense then he should of called it in to the police station to tell them what went down, instead of trying to flee back to atlanta.

    ***
    Regardless of the typos and the convenience of this story coming out now, if this man was jumped by about 7 of Dolla and his fellow ‘Crips,’ and it can be proven that SOMETHING else happened in California, he just may beat a more serious charge of murder.

    ***

    If he can bring forth witnesses that he was beaten in Atlanta, and that security had to see him to his car, THAT will support his claims of fearing for his life, because he has ALREADY had a taste of what they are capable of doing against ONE man.

    ***

    Again, people who are trying to make it in the entertainment business need to take a long hard look at what they are representing and the way they want to be remembered once they are gone from here.

    ***

    Why put your family through the agony of having your life snuffed out at such a young age
    …and for WHAT?

    ***

    It’s terribly ironic that they did end up in the same place at the same time, but that’s the hand that FATE can sometimes deal you.

    ***

    Maybe it was a “Do over” to give them the opportunity to rectify the earlier incident, but as sure as you’re up one minute…you’re down the next, and even with some of his homies with him they still weren’t enough to tag team a bullet…

    ***

    Another young brother cut down in the prime of his life, and another one who will have to live with his decision to defend himself in the deadliest of ways.

    ***

    Crips, Bloods…do what you do, but when your BLOOD is pouring out on the pavement it’s ALL red!

    I just hate it when these BUSTER ASS rappers talk about living the life and playing the game get a taste of the real gangster life.I am a real O G from the City of Compton Cali and it is understood when you walk the walk you must talk the talk.If you want not to become a statistic of the street stay in the studio.These Motherf**kers must understand that the real victims of the rap game is the millions of young and impressionalble young brothers and sisters that buy into the distruction that you B***hes Sell.I lost a young brother that was near and dear to my Heart (BIG JAKE)Campanella Park Boys Bompton California (RIP)Instead of going to Atlanta to revenge his death I continued my educations like I advised Jake to. Presently I am a Teacher in the Compton School District.( By God’s Grace)We should take the message of one more of the victims from my hood Young Mosberg killed by street violence. (Change the Game)We have made history this past election ( A Black Man in the White House)This means nothing if the Brothers and the Sisters from the Hood don’t wake up to benefit from the change.I was born and raised in Compton and I am often asked why do I continue to teach in Compton and I say if I can do my part to plant the seed of change to one Young Brother or Sister at a time it is all worth it.

    nah this is bulls**t. why didnt he got shot at after the fact. seems like he was the only nigga doing the shooting.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Elazar/ Elazar

    If this a case of self defense then the police should’nt have the right to with-hold evidence such as the video. If he had robbed the place they would release the video but since it’s “just another nigga” they don’t care if your not guilty. Charges should be brought up on the l.a.p.d for interfering with an investigation, yet black people just lay down and take it with no vasiline! Please don’t get me wrong, my deepest sympathy goes out to dolla’s family because I too know how it feels to lose a love one and no one wins in this situation but that tape can justify and clear up all the allegations. The police has taken a sworn oath to uphold the law, but when they pervert it they are no better then the criminals they arrest. Who do we call to arrest them?

    Freespiritedthinker….If it isn’t credible don’t read it. If there’s so much misspelling, write that s**t yourself. This is some stupid stuff right here, when are we as a people, not blacks and whites but as humans, going to learn to cope with one another without the use of violence or what not. Weapons are signs of weakness, if you start something use your fists to back it up. Using a gun is p***y. It pisses me off how stupid people are. Since when have we been taught to behave like animals?. This Berry guy has the dumbest story, he’ll be lucky to live another year in or out of jail. He’s done for. But I don’t back the s**t that goes on in this world up. It aint only gangs, it ranges from relationships, ethnic conflicts, politics, etc. Humans have always portrayed themselves as savages. It’s time for a change. If you not blind then stop leading blind lives. Nuff said.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MzJuicey85/ MzJuicey85

    this story doesnt even sound right…….dolla had his ppl there and got on the phone and got more ppl there…..aubrey shot 3 but killed 1 and he wasnt hurt and or killed in the process…..sounds a lil fishy to me……

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/concentration30/ concentration30

    Yall are all right! This is some bull s**t! Its seems that we have less men in the world and more emotional mommas boys who can’t express themselves without getting to damn emotional about their b***h as feelings. I see more young men getting emotional over the word “NO” than I see my little girl getting emotional period! I see people with no principals at all! No rules

    If the club has the video of the altercation that the shooter is talking about. And the altercation in the club he wanted to do the party at before dolla was killed its an open shut case…And he is allowed to carry his firearm. So young and so dumb, make money not war.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/simple_grasp1/ simple_grasp1

    the point of carrying a gun is to kill and not disarm. To me this sounds like a well made up story with bits of fact by the lawyer. There are two sides to everything. Obviously 2 or more against 1 isn’t a fair fight.
    My guess is that the shooting was a retaliation or preventive act for getting jumped the night before.

    Self-defense??? How the hell do they figure that? If they didnt physically get into a fight in Cali and Dolla didnt pull out a weapon how do they figure its self-defense? He walked up on him and shot him in the head while he was leaving. Man I pray that they throw that mess out of court because he didnt have to die like that. Its a shame for people to be killed over little sh!t. Not just that u bringing ur drama from the ATL to Cali. That mess was a set up. He locked up in Twin Towers now lettin all them dudes pass his a$$ around.

If you’re trying to stop people from grabbing your gun you’re looking down which means face is nowhere in your eyesight…if you’re in a scuffle with a weapon your eyes stay on the gun duh! Truth of the matter we do not know what happened its just said a life was taken over a female…smh

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Promisemetoo/ Promisemetoo

    Crip or no Crip, that still does not condone the act that Berry did. They’ve had to many encounters, so why Dolla didn’t just shoot him at the strip club, or when he got in the fight. He had plenty of opportunities to kill him if he wanted to. Ithink its a bunch of bulls**t. Maybe he was a crip, and usually in that gang they don’t care or wait for a certain time, or day they just shoot.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/KEVIKEV45/ KEVIKEV45

    Berry had the right to bare arms.

    “we are going to kill you.” If (gang or no gang)members reach for there weapon and they don’t get to there’s first…

    And yeah, you can reach for your weapon and pull out and hit your target WITHOUT looking down for it. You don’t have to look down at the gears in the car to know what gear you’re putting it in..do you?

    ***

    What some of you fail to realize is this, IF Dolla and SEVERAL of his fellow ‘gang’ members beat Aubrey down in Atlanta earlier this month, he very well may be able to establish that he was in fear for his life. Producing the club security’s testimony as to this beating will definitely substantiate his level of fear.

    ***

    Their chance meeting in the same place at the same time could be the most hellish of coincidences, but if Dolla began to taunt Aubrey and made THREATENING gestures towards him, his mind immediately retreated to the night when he was jumped by Dolla and crew the FIRST time, and he went into SURVIVAL MODE. There was no one there to pull them off of him, and he knows that
    ‘gang’ members don’t tag yo’ butt and leave you to be able to walk away on your own.

    ***

    Seeing Dolla on the phone, alledgly calling for more backup is not impossible, as when gangs stomp somebody’s arse they do it to send a message, and they don’t care that it’s ten of them and one of you.

    ***

    If the mall’s security cameras picked up anything of this confrontation, BOTH parties are going to be able to gain access to it via a subpoena. They (mall personnel/local police) can’t keep that information from Aubrey, as it’s a crucial part of his defense.

    ***

    Also, a head shot is about the most accurate means to STOP an attacker. A body shot wouldn’t have necessarily meant preventing Dolla from returning fire, IF he was armed or was attempting to get a weapon. Aubrey may not have wanted to KILL Dolla, but in a frightened panic he did what he did, and now the burden of proof is on him.

    ***

    It doesn’t matter whether the story to the left is true, IF Aubrey can place reasonable doubt in the mind of a jury
    …he’s going to walk away with a lesser charge.

    ***

    If he can get the video of Dolla bragging about the
    “West” side and how they’ll handle a ‘nukka’ (one he made with T. I.) it might be a lot easier than imagined.

    ***

    This is terribly sad, because we have two YOUNG brothers who have fallen victim to this AVOIDABLE crime.

    ***

    The kicker is that it’ll happen again, and again, and again because for some reason some of our people believe they can stop a bullet…

    BLACK ASS NIGGA’S AND NIGGA B***HES

    You f**kin people are crazy with these negative comments about a young black man trying to do something with his self besides being a gang member. So what he claimed a hood what black young man in L.A don’t??? You people that’s from other States no NOTHING ABOUT L.A gangs period don’t let the media fool you. Alot of my OG homies has gone beyond Crippin and on to careers. Don’t hate cuz we got a GET IT mentality and you weak ass nigga’s don’t “”L.A STAND UP”"

    BLACK HATERS, WHY CAN”T BLACK PEOPLE BE PROUD WHEN ONE IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH A GOAL???

    This young black man worked with my son, that’s also in the Industry.(ACEBERG) and it’s completely sad that his life was took at such a young age. But like I said in my previous blog. Black Haters it’s a damn shame that people don’t know half the story or even a percentage and yall run with s**t like it’s all good. Like I said this is still some black women’s baby and yes I say baby b’cuz I have six of my own and if it would’ve been my baby I’d have a case right with the weak ass nigga that did what he did.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jazzie__/ jazzie__

    WOW this article is SOO LIE
    1. Why would the police hold evidence from the lawyer, like they have something personal against the guy.
    2. If dolla called his “crip members” dont u think people wouldve seen all the people come in and confirmed that.
    3. If they intended to kill berry and they were already reaching into their wasitbands to grabs there “guns”, berry would be dead before or after he shot dolla. like wtf is this!

    RIP DOLLA!

    dis is sum garbage! i hate people who talk about murdering people and shooting others because they are “lame” or whatever.. let it happen to them tho, and everyone is all tears. but the person who killed the other prolly felt how the first one felt too!!! makes no sense, right? duh people VIOLENCE BEGETS MORE VIOLENCE.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/AYARI_02/ AYARI_02

    This doesn’t make sense to me. First off the self defense should be thrown out b/c the altercation they had was a week or two b4 the shooting. 2)Aubrey is from ATL so how did he end up with a gun in LA so quick? He couldn’t have boarded the plane w/ it and no gun store is going to let you buy a gun and take home the same day b/c there is a wait limit(?). 3) Do they now have crips living w/ their baby mommas on sec 8 in Beverly Hills that dine at PF Changs? 4) How are you going to be in a gang and live on the other side of the country and try to get promoted to top gang leader? 6)I don’t doubt that Dolla hung around thugs and people w/ affiliations, but gangs are trigger happy and don’t care who’s around so how did he get out the parking lot alive?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DESTINYSISLAND/ DESTINYSISLAND

    fIRST OF ALL THE SHOOTER IS FULL OF S**T.THE ALTERCATION HAPPENED IN ATL RIGHT. HOW THE F**K DID HE GET ON A PLANE WITH A GUN AND WHY WOULD U HAVE A BUSINESS MEETING IN A PLACE WHERE YOU KNOW THERES A POSSIBILTY U COULD RUN INTO UR RIVAL AND IF U DONT RUN INTO HIM U GONNA RUN INTO HIS PEEPS! SOUNDS AUBREY WAS LOOKING TO END SOMETHING THAT STARTED STATES AWAY!!!!

    I am sorry but I have to agree with the dude. If someone is getting all uo in my face talking bout they want to kill me, I am going to defend myself. If you don’t want to get got then don’t come near me with no drama. You sit there and threaten someone’s life and expect them not to take exception to that. It was Dolla’s bad for trying to show off to the gang. Maybe if he would have made the right choice he’d still be alive. Gangs destroy lives. When will people finally get that through their head. Leave gangs alone. When you’re trying to make it in life, you don’t need gangs. Obviously, his rap career didn’t mean much to him.

    its pre-meditated murder because he was thinking about the consequences (if this is at all true) of what would happen if the crips got to him. self-defense is spur of the moment actions. sorry but this dude going to jail and the prosecution is gonna eat this defense up

    I can’t believe the mentality of young people. They are so damn screwed in the head. No since value,or moral compass what so ever. You can not claim self defense because someone says they will kill you. If they were truly going to kill him does he think he would have had to to pull his gun? His ass along with his brains would have been spawlled out on the ground. This a*****e needs to rot behinds bars for the rest of his sorry ass life.

    dolla was gone kill dude, yeah right, he was out in l.a. working on his record, trying to make some legitimate money, aubrey berry had no legitimate reason to be out in l.a., u mean to tell me that he got his azz kicked in atlanta a few weeks before and he coincidentally appears at the mall at the same time as dolla, come on man, and dolla was with his lil brotha and his d.j. who happens to be arabic, yeah far from an alledged crip huh! the story is so full of holes its crazy.

    It amazes me how, people forget the stupid s**t they did when “they” were young and stoopid!!!! Was Dolla really, the portrait of ethical behavior, or positive moral!!! Really? This young guy, was no role model, dad was more than likely absent from the home (yeah I am assuming), and he had plenty of money to do exactly what he wanted. How is it one can believe that he would visit a strip joint, and not that, that TESTOSTERONE,WOULD NOT elevate to the degree it did???!!! C’MON picture it, strip joint, mostly naked females, dark atmospere of the joint, liquor, beer, the most fantastico “trees’, probably coke and the crips, PLZ, sounds like a weekend for these cats!!! Dolla could have working on his next record or single, whatever, but in his IDLE time, looks like he was not being very productive.

    the part that says “FROM THE L.A TIMES:” doesnt make any sense to me
    and how can you claim self defense for shooting an unarmed man and is your firearm legit ? got papers to carry ?? sorry buddy not in california this aint arizona cant carry guns out here like that if so everybody would be dead
    so youre lookin at possible premeditated murder, manslaughter, criminal possession of a firearm plus how ever many bullets were still in the clip. i hope he didnt make any plans cuz he gone be in jail for a while
