3 Men Charged After Attack on Young Dolph’s Memorial

Three men have been charged in a shooting that targeted Young Dolph’s memorial service following his death on Wednesday. The attack took place yesterday, (Thursday, November 19) in South Memphis at Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies, the same shop where Dolph was murdered.

Jailon Nevis, 19, Travis McQueen, 22, and Terrence Jones, 23, were arrested Thursday and charged in connection with the attack on Dolph’s memorial. The list of charges against the men is extensive. Among the charges include possession of prohibited weapons, reckless endangerment, theft of property, unlawful possession of a weapon.

At this time, Memphis PD is not linking these men with the killing of Young Dolph. A short statement on the Memphis PD’s Twitter post read, “There is no evidence that this shooting is related to the previous shooting”.

During the attack, one man was shot in the leg. According to the Memphis PD, the man’s condition is “non-critical”.  Following the shooting, police pursued a gray Nissan Versa, thought to be the get-away vehicle for the shooters. The chase eventually ended when the Versa crashed. From there, the three men in question took off on foot. The affidavit claims that the three men threw their handguns away following the crash. Four handguns were found by police. Two were found on the road, while the others were found in a field and trash can.

As far as Dolph’s killing is concerned, no suspects have been been named, and no arrests made.
