Louisiana rapper Hurricane Chris has been indicted in connection with a fatal shooting outside a Shreveport gas station four months ago, local media reported Thursday.
The “A Bay Bay” artist, also known as Christopher Jerron Dooley, was indicted by a Caddo Parish grand jury on a charge of second-degree murder in connection with the slaying of 32-year-old Danzeria Ferris Jr., KTAL NBC 6 News reported.
Ferris allegedly was shot several times at a Texaco station in Shreveport early on the morning of June 19.
Dooley, 31, was arrested later that day on one count each of second-degree murder and illegal possession of stolen property, Shreveport Police said in a news release at the time.
Police said the rapper initially claimed he shot a man he believed was trying to steal his vehicle. Video footage appeared to show otherwise, police reportedly said.
Dooley, a Shreveport native, is the godson of former Democratic state Rep. Barbara Norton.
His hit single “A Bay Bay,” from his 2007 album “51/50 Ratchet” has more than 30 million views on YouTube.
