LOS ANGELES - The son of R&B singer Chaka Khan surrendered to police after he learned that prosecutors had charged him with murder in the shooting death of a 17-year-old boy, police said.

Damien Patrick Holland, 25, surrendered Monday with his lawyers at his side, according to a printed LAPD statement. He is being held on $2 million bail.

Prosecutors allege that Holland shot Christopher Baily of Los Angeles at a September 2004 party as the two struggled for a gun during a fight. Holland was taken into custody, but was released several days later when prosecutors said they didn’t have enough evidence to press charges.

Detectives have since located witnesses to the murder, which led to the present charge, the police statement said.

Khan, 51, is known for hits such as “Tell Me Something Good” and “I Feel for You.”
