AceShowbiz - Rapper Hurricane Chris has been freed on $500,000 bond following his arrest for second-degree murder.
The "A Bay Bay" star, real name Christopher Dooley, Jr., was taken into custody on Friday, June 19, 2020 after a man was found with multiple gunshot wounds at a gas station in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The victim died at a nearby hospital. According to local news reports, Chris told police he took aim at the guy because he thought he was trying to steal his car, but investigators claim surveillance video footage indicates the shooting was not an act of self-defence.
The vehicle Chris claimed as his own was found to have been reported stolen from Texas, prompting cops to also charge the 31 year old with illegal possession of stolen items, costing him an additional $10,000 in bond money, which was posted on Sunday.
Despite the criminal investigation, Chris remains positive he will be exonerated of the charges.
In a statement released on Sunday, his attorney says, "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."
