“A Bay Bay” rapper Hurricane Chris real name Christopher Dooley has bonded out of jail after being charged with second-degree murder and illegal possession of stolen goods. A rep for the Caddo Correctional Center confirmed he was released on Sunday (June 21) after posting a $500,000 bond.
Chris was arrested on Friday (June 19) after he shot a man outside of a Shreveport, Louisiana gas station around 1 a.m. local time. According to KTBS-TV Shreveport, Dooley said he believed the man was attempting to steal his car so he fired his weapon after a brief struggle.
The man suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was to Ochsner LSU Health hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Police seem to not believe Chris’ claims of self-defense. Investigators reportedly obtained video footage of the incident that “showed Chris did not act in self-defense.” Detectives also said the vehicle Dooley was attempting to protect was reported stolen out of Texas.
Dooley’s attorney issued a statement over the weekend, which read, “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.”
