Rapper Dolla Murdered in Beverly Center, Twitter Users Pay Respects to @DollaGang
Yesterday, an Atlanta rapper by the name of Dolla was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Beverly Center (a big mall here in Los Angeles, featured in Usher’s “Confessions” song) here in Los Angeles. Someone has since been arrested in conjunction with the shooting and of course, this is yet another sad story coming from hip-hop.

Something interesting about this story is that Dolla had just joined Twitter, and had just tweeted out his first message a couple hours before being shot and killed. Since then, his account has attracted over a thousand followers and numerous users have tweeted messaged of “R.I.P. Dolla” and directed them towards his account, much like Facebook walls have become online memorials to many that people have lost.
@DollaGang, R.I.P.
