SPAWN shares his thoughts......RIP Dolla
Akons Konvict Musik artist Dolla was shot and killed in broad day light at the Beverly Center shopping mall in LA today. Sources on the ground in LA exclusively tell Bossip that the Atlanta rapper and former Sean Jean model was shot in the head over an unknown female. The shooter is rumored to also be affiliated with the Konvict music camp.

This is how the LA Times is covering the story: An Atlanta rapper was fatally shot at the Beverly Center on Monday afternoon, causing mall diners to dive for cover and sparking a police dragnet for suspects. The shooting occurred around 3:10 p.m. in the parking structure of the popular Westside mall. Dolla, a rapper whose real name is Roderick Anthony Burton II, was shot in the head while he and another rapper, D.J. Shabbazz, were waiting in the valet area, according to Dollas publicist, Sue Vannasing. A friend who was with the rappers at the Beverly Center as well as a Los Angeles Police Department source also confirmed his identity to The Times. Two suspects fled from the scene, police said. About two hours later, Los Angeles police detained a person of interest as he attempted to board a plane out of Los Angeles International Airport. The man allegedly drove his silver Mercedes SUV from the mall to the airport, police said. Burton, 21, arrived at LAX from Atlanta earlier in the day and went to the Beverly Center to do some shopping, Vannasing said. He had apparently had a dispute with some people, perhaps at the airport, Vannasing said. They followed him to the mall because they knew he was coming, Vannasing said. Los Angeles police officials could not immediately confirm or deny that account. Burton was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he died, police said. Burton was an up-and-coming rapper out of Atlanta who had recorded several singles. He was in town to work on his first album, slated to be released this summer on Jive Records, Vannasing said. His first single, released in 2007, was Who the [Expletive] is that? The shooting rattled shoppers and diners. At a Chipotle restaurant next to the valet area, 10 people were eating when the shots rang out. The customers were yelling close the store, close the store, because somebody is shooting, said Elsa Hernandez, general manager of the restaurant. The center is normally quite peaceful, said Hernandez, whos worked at the restaurant for six years. This is the first time this has happened here, she said. Newton Cacho, 31, works across the street from the Beverly Center. Im very surprised something like this happened here. You come to a nicer part of town and you dont expect this, Cacho said.

Our prayers go out to his family and friends.

  • this shit is so fucking stupid, he had his whole life ahead of him and a promising future, it's to bad his life was taken away from him before he had a chance to blow, he didn't get a chance to release his first album and now he will never get chance to experience the success of his first album. I really hope that dude get life in prison, he don't even deserve to live. you should be enjoying your life at 21, not being put six feet under....

  • It just sickens me to read all these moronic and illiterate comments coming from people who have no more intelligence and compassion than the taliban or al queda or the "niggas" that shot this young man. We are fucked as a nation when we have an advancement in civilization that is less than most other surrounding nations.
