Los Angeles (myFOXla.com) - Rapper 'Dolla' was shot and killed in front of The Beverly Center Mall in Los Angeles this afternoon. A person of interest in the shooting was later detained at Los Angeles International Airport.
Dolla, whose real name is Roderick Anthony Burton II, was an up and coming Atlanta-based rapper signed to Akon's Convikt music label.
The shooting near the La Cienega Boulevard entrance to the mall's parking structure was reported at 3:10 p.m.
Publicist Sue Vannasing told the Los Angeles Times that Burton and another rapper who goes by the name D.J. Shabbazz, were waiting at a valet stand after a shopping trip when a gunman shot Dolla.
The 20-year-old was taken to nearby Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he died.
Police and coroner's officials have not confirmed the victim's identity.
Meantime, police say a person of interest with a gun was detained at Los Angeles International Airport and is being questioned.

T.I DROPS ALFAMEGA FROM HIS GRAND HUSTLE LABEL!!!!!
NEWS + AUDIO: T.I. Tells Alfamega To Kick Rocks, Dismisses Him From Grand Hustle Label
Smart move by T.I. to give dude the boot and he makes valid points as well for doing so. Being an artist is just like any other job, you gotta pass the background check and disclose any information that might potentially hurt the company. Obviously Alfamega failed to do so and T.I. already has enough question marks under his own belt to be dealing with someone else’s BS. Keep it 100% peeps. Audio and Transcript available after jump.
AUDIO: T.I. Dismisses Alfamega From Grand Hustle
“Even though all our artists and employees are asked by us to be honest and open about their past history, at no time did Alfa disclose to me or Grand Hustle what has now appeared in the media. He essentially deceived us by failing to fully disclose the truth about his past and there is no place in our organization for dishonest and misleading behavior. As I have always said, you must take responsibility for your own actions. We at Grand Hustle can not support or condone the blaming of others for our own mistakes. I hope and pray to God bless his financial plans, but I don’t foresee me or my company playing a role in his personal or professional business. End.”WWW.CROWNTHESOUTH.COM
