ATLANTA (AP) Family and friends will gather to mourn the slain rapper Dolla, who will be buried in Atlanta's Westview Cemetery five days after he was shot at a Los Angeles mall.

Funeral services for the 21-year-old performer, whose real name was Roderick Anthony Burton II, are scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday at Word of Faith Love Center in East Point, just south of Atlanta.

The man accused of shooting him, Aubrey Berry of Atlanta, pleaded not guilty to murder and assault charges Friday in Los Angeles. The 23-year-old Berry is being held in lieu of $5 million bail.

Berry was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport hours after Burton was shot on Monday. Berry's lawyer says the shooting was self-defense.

  • This just makes me mad all over again
    It's so sad but this Berry dude is makin me so mad. I just think its a bunch of BULL the way he pleads NOT GUILTY.I dont care about the reason u shot him, if u KNOW u had the gun & shot him, u ARE guilty u stupid m--, Lord help me.And this lawyer has the audacity 2 defend this guilty case, just for some money.I dont c how they do it.Self-defense? yea right. self defense would've cause u 2 fight him,self defense would've shot dolla in the leg or arm, not AIMING 2 kill him.Its so sad, cuz this dude knew what he was doing, he's lying and i hope the jury finds his butt guilty. God bless Dolla's family & send comfort.I prat your soul is in a better place Dolla*
