Rapper Hurricane Chris was indicted on murder charges during a recent Caddo Parish grand jury session in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The Shreveport Times reported the 31-year-old, whose real name is Christopher Jerron Dooley, was indicted on second-degree murder charges.
The indictment is in connection with the June 19 death of Danzeria Ferris Jr., 32.
In the incident, Ferris was shot multiple times at a gas station after he and Dooley got into a fight over Dooley’s vehicle. He was taken to a hospital for treatment but later died.
Early reports from police at the time said Dooley shot Ferris thinking he was attempting to steal his vehicle, but police said in a news release that surveillance video “showed that Dooley did not act in self-defense."
The vehicle, a 2015 Mercedes sedan, was reported stolen.
Dooley is also charged with illegal possession of a stolen vehicle. He is out on bond, The Shreveport Times reported.
Dooley is best known for his song “A Bay Bay," released in 2007. His last album was released in 2009.
