Dolla Was Killed Over Gang Affiliation?

The killing of Konvict Muzik rapper, Dolla had to do with him being a Crip.
The admitted murderer, Aubrey Berry, says he killed Dolla in self-defence because Dolla tried to kill him.
“There are three victims in this case, none of which is Aubrey Berry,” the Burton family’s spokesperson, Dennis Byron, said Friday (May 22) in a statement, adding to MTV News that the family was upset by the claim. “His claim of self-defense is very colorful but the fact is that he traveled from Atlanta with a loaded firearm — for which he didn’t possess a carry permit for in the state of California — and then he assassinates Mr. Burton and attempts to shoot his cousin Will and his friend DJ Shabazz. Dolla was doing what he normally does, and that is to come to town and record in the studio and visit his family. He has been a recording artist for many years and being a member of any gang is as far-fetched as Mr. Berry’s claim of self-defense. Mr. Price is attempting to argue his client’s case in the media but the courtroom is where this matter will be dealt with.”
“If somebody has a reasonable perception that he is in danger of bodily injury or death, he has a right to defend himself,” Howard K. Price, Berry’s lawyer said. “He felt his life was in danger because of the previous altercation and what this guy [Burton] is reputed to be, which is [a member of] the Crips [street gang] and the way he conducted himself … and the way his crew approached him when they left the restaurant and followed him to the parking lot.” Source
