“I’m sure you got the news by now. I was involved in a very unfortunate incident on Friday morning, a very unfortunate incident,” he said after the shooting.
“I wanna thank everybody who’s been praying for the family of the deceased and everybody who’s been praying for my family. After a good, thorough investigation, my name will be cleared. Let God work. Watch God work. God bless. Thank you.”
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.”
In addition to the murder charges, the rapper is facing charges related to the car in question.
According to authorities, the 2016 Mercedes Sedan at the heart of the shooting was registered in Texas to someone else. As such, he’s facing charges of illegal possession of the vehicle.
