Hurricane Chris’ murder trial has another new date after being delayed again from its already rescheduled February date.
The “A Bay Bay” rapper, real name Chris Dooley, was arrested after shooting Danzeria O. Ferris Jr. in June 2020, who Chris accused of allegedly trying to steal his car outside of a convenience store in Shreveport, Louisiana. When officers arrived on the scene, Ferris Jr. was rushed to a local hospital with gunshot wounds in his chest, hip and stomach. He later died at a local hospital and the car in question turned out to be stolen.

The rapper was charged with second-degree murder and illegal possession of a stolen 2016 Mercedes Sedan.
The trial date was initially set for January but was later delayed to Monday (February 13), but initial proceedings were halted after prosecutors asked for more time to prepare. Chris is set to appear in court on March 6.

Chris posted $500,000 bond just two days after his arrest, and has maintained his innocence while continuing to affirm that his “name will be cleared.”
“Hello world, hello world, hello world,” he said in a video after posting bond. “I’m sure you got the news by now. I was involved in a very unfortunate incident on Friday morning, a very unfortunate incident. 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,” he continued. “Let God work, watch God work. God bless. Thank you.”
