Currently out on bond, the accused is also scheduled to make a court appearance just before trial on February 1st for an argument and hearing date.
June 2020 Fatal Shooting
If you recall, a local Louisiana man was shot and killed in the early morning hours in Shreveport. The shooting reportedly occurred around 1 AM at a Texaco gas station in the 2600 block of Hollywood Avenue.
The 33-year-old rapper told authorities that he shot the deceased in self-defense after struggling over his car. Officers dismissed his claims after security footage was obtained from the gas station and showed otherwise.
The ‘A Bay Bay’ rapper also faces a charge of one count of illegally possessing stolen things. The car he was driving at the time of the murder was reported stolen in Texas.
His attorney stated in 2020:
The prayers of Mr. Dooley are with the family of the deceased as well as his own family at this time. He is confident that at the end of a thorough and just investigation of this incident, his name will be cleared.
We reached out to his camp for comment, but they have yet to respond to our request.
