Rapper Hurricane Chris has been found not guilty in the 2020 murder of 32-year-old Danzeria Farris Jr.Â
The jury in Caddo Parish, Louisiana, decided on Tuesday following the closing arguments in the second-degree murder trial.
Chris, whose real name is Christopher Dooley, was found not guilty on all counts. The rapper was facing life in prison for the charges.
“I wanna thank God, my attorneys at the Washington & Wells Law Firm, and my family for standing with me as my life was on the line,” Chris said. “They wanted to give me life if I was found guilty. Now I can hug my son and think about raising him to be a man.”
He added: “This situation drained me and affected my health greatly. God, I give you all the glory. I got my life back, and words can’t explain how I feel. Thanks to everyone who wished me well.”
“Hello world, hello world, hello world,” he said in a video. “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.
He continued: “After a good, thorough investigation, my name will be cleared. Let God work, watch God work. God bless. Thank you.”
