Dollar Bill (rapper)

Anthony Levy (1979 – 2 March 2009) better known by his stage name Dollar Bill was an American rapper and producer. He was shot dead by the "SRT" unit of the Miami-Dade County police in Miami Gardens, Florida after reportedly barricading himself in the attic of a house with a bulletproof vest and ammunition. When a special response team was called in, he launched at one of the officers with a knife and was shot. He was wanted on several charges including aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault, attempted murder, and possession of a firearm on school property.

The up-and-coming rapper was working on music in his studio preparing for an album release. He was the son of Marie Ascencio and had two children at the time of death, aged seven and one.[1]
