News of the shooting spread rapidly on Twitter where, ironically, the rapper had just opened an account earlier in the day.
Dolla had just arrived in Los Angeles earlier Monday, his publicist said. He was recording his first album, “Another Day, Another Dolla.”
“He had a very promising career,” Sue Vannasing said. “He was being hyped as the next Tupac [Shakur]. He chose music to get off the streets.”
Burton moved to Atlanta when he was 5 after his father shot himself in front of the rapper and his sister.
“He was the man of the house,” Vannasing said.
His mother, Joyce Burton, still resides in Atlanta, where Dolla’s funeral will be held, Vannasing said.
