The Los Angeles Times reports that Atlanta-based rapper Dolla (né Anthony Burton II) was shot and killed outside of Los Angeles' Beverly Center shopping mall just after 3 p.m. PDT on Monday. Though the Los Angeles Police Dept. would not confirm the identity of the victim, the Times reports that Dolla's publicist, Sue Vannasing, confirmed to the newspaper that her client was shot outside the mall, while waiting with fellow rapper D.J. Shabbazz. Dolla is believed to be in his early twenties.

The shooting reportedly occurred during a group melee, possibly also involving a knife. Police have detained a person of interest, whom the LAPD would not name and said had not yet been arrested. Dolla is perhaps best known for the single "Feelin' Myself," which was featured in the 2006 dance film Step Up.

So many things come to mind when these things happen.

One down ....

...I gotta say it was a good day

This is the culture that they have created and perpetuate, so it is life immitating their 'art'.

At the end of the day, it is just another wasted life.

US rapper Dolla has been shot dead outside a Los Angeles shopping mall after a fight reportedly broke out. The rapper, whose real name is Roderick Anthony Burton II, was shot in the head at the Beverly Center mall and later died at Cedars Sinai Medical Center.
Police said a "person of interest" was detained on Monday at an LA airport over the incident.
The 21-year-old was in LA recording his debut album which was due to be released this summer.

The artist was killed while he and another rapper, DJ Shabbazz, waited outside the mall after a shopping trip.
Although a motive for the killing is unclear, police officer Karen Reyner said the victim and the gunman had been arguing before the attack. After the shooting, the gunman fled in a silver Mercedes-Benz.
The up-and-coming rapper caught the attention of R&B singer and producer Akon at the age of just 12 as he performed with friends at showcases around Atlanta.
The two collaborated on Dolla's first single which also featured rapper T-Pain.
Another single, Feelin' Myself, also featured on the soundtrack of 2006 dance film Step Up.
The rapper's publicist, Sue Vannasing, said a funeral service, to be held in Atlanta, would be announced later.

RIP
