The Snellville man accused of murdering Atlanta-based rapper and Akon protégé Roderick Anthony “Dolla” Burton II, in the valet parking area of an upscale L.A. mall last week received a reduction in his bail from $5 million to $2.1 million on Tuesday.
The suspect, who pled not guilty to the shooting outside the Beverly Center, is 23-year-old Aubrey Louis Berry, an Atlanta music promoter, according to the the AJC:
Berry’s attorney, Howard Price, said his client was acting in self-defense when he shot 21-year-old Dolla repeatedly with a 9 mm handgun.
Dolla’s stepfather, George Viera, said the rapper was in Los Angeles planning a birthday party for his longtime girlfriend.
