Young Dolph was fatally shot in November 2021 while visiting his hometown of Memphis, bringing his life to a tragic end. Now, the West Tennessee Regional Forensic Center has released his autopsy report.
According to FOX13 News, the 36-year-old rapper was shot 22 times in his right back, center back, left back, right arm, left arm, left chest, left abdomen, right chin, right neck, right wrist and right shoulder. His death, of course, was ruled a homicide.
Dolph was picking up baked goods at Makeda’s Homemade Cookies on Airways Boulevard when he was ambushed by armed men driving a two-door, white Mercedes-Benz.
Justin Johnson, also known as local rapper Straight Drop, and Cornelius Smith were charged in connection to the case, while Shundale Barnett currently has a warrant out for his arrest for his involvement. Two other men, Devin Burns and Joshua Taylor, have been named as persons of interest.
Last month, Memphis law enforcement issued a warrant for Barnett, who was arrested in Indiana on January 11 alongside fellow defendant Johnson. Barnett was supposed to be extradited back to Memphis but wound up being released from an Indiana jail just 10 days after his arrest.
Shelby County Sheriff’s Office had “no idea” where Barnett was and Clay County Sheriff Paul Harden was forced to address the situation during a press conference on February 17.
“On January 11, Mr. Shundale Barnett was brought to the Clay County Jail by the Indiana State Police from an arrest on I-70,” Harden explained. “He was booked in the Clay County Jail on an outstanding warrant from Shelby County, Tennessee.
“We contacted Shelby County and held him on their warrant. And we were contacted on January 21 and they told us that they were no longer wanting to come and pick up Mr. Barnett and that we were to release him at that time.”
Barnett was charged with being an accessory after the fact to first-degree murder as well as criminal attempt to commit first-degree murder and theft of property. Smith and Johnson remain in custody awaiting trial.
Sheesh
It’s nothing short of tragic. He died under a hell fire of bullets. 22 should be enough to justify intent to kill and deliver guilty verdict necessary for the chair or hangman’s noose. It’s time we put a heavier price on taking people’s lives.
heavier price on the punishment doesn’t prevent the crime. We need harsher laws that would help prevent this shit from the jump. It’s way too easy for people to get a hold of a gun. Even with certain states enacting strict gun laws, you have bordering states that make it super easy to acquire. Perhaps the gun laws should be federal, to prevent this. Perhaps we shouldn’t have gun show loop holes that allow people to avoid background checks. Perhaps the penalty for selling guns improperly should be a mandatory 30 years, rather than the “up to” 5 years, which typically results in just a fine. Also…. none of that will happen since the gun lobby controls our politicians.
Damn shame! Rest Easy Dolph
what a web we weave to deceive.
How tf you miss a whole 100 shots?!!?
must’ve had a body on him or witnessed some incriminating shit. funny how black fellas mastered killing and getting caught but they still clueless bout dead body disposal
Mastered killing? These idiots had to shoot a hundred rounds to hit somebody 22 times lmao. A double tap to the chest and one in the head is the professional way somebody who knows how to shoot would do it, these bozos didn’t even know how to hold a gun properly. There’s no requirement to dispose of any body if you do the hit correctly. You’re right about the getting caught part, these clowns didn’t even burn out the stolen car after the crime, they left all that dna and other evidence in the car. These fuckboys are amateur wannabe hitmen who suck at what they do, that’s why they got pinched.
Death penalty for these have nots
LLD !!
What is this Law & Order You really think bad people care about consequences? You think they care about a GUN law? Most of them are doing it for street cred and or pennies on the dollar. Bad people don’t follow the laws they break them then go to jail and sang like WHITNEY if you have ever watched first 48 as soon as you see them accept the cig & soda it’s over they telling everything.
