A young black rapper from Los Angeles was arrested in January for shooting a man in the head in a mugging at a nightclub.
The suspect, known only as “B-Bird,” has been charged with murder and is currently in custody, according to court documents.
The rapper, whose real name is D.L., was also charged with attempted murder, a felony, according the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
B-bird, 24, was arrested after a group of men who had gotten into a fight outside a nightclub at the Plaza Hotel in Beverly Hills said they heard B-Bird shout, “I’ma shoot you!” and then fired their guns, authorities said.
One bullet struck the victim in the right side of the head, killing him, authorities added.

Bird,” became a hit.
In the song, B-bird said, “Don’t call me B- Bird.
Call me a sick nigga.”

Bucks has been accused of several other crimes, including aggravated assault and attempted robbery, according police reports.
He is also accused of assaulting a former girlfriend in 2015, and allegedly assaulting his wife in 2016.
