Wednesday afternoon, Adolph Robert Thornton, Jr., known by many in the entertainment world as Young Dolph, was tragically shot and killed. The 36-year-old was reportedly purchasing cookies at Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies in Memphis, when someone drove up and did the final act.
No one has been arrested, as Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn Davis cited that no information has been made public yet. In recent years, Dolph’s life was threatened, with multiple assassinations attempts, including one happening in Hollywood during 2017.
