Young Dolph’s Execution
In November 2021, Young Dolph lost his life at a favorite bakery in his hometown. Sadly, the nature of the events sent shockwaves through Dolph’s hometown and the hip-hop community. An appropriate phrase to subscribe sentiments on the day, simply unbelievable.
Indeed, it is a sad state of affairs when one can’t go home without fearing for life. And to think the incident took place in broad daylight, where is the shame?
Investigation
After an investigation, the police identified two masked shooters as responsible parties in the execution. Per Rolling Stone,
“Two gunmen traveling in a stolen Mercedes-Benz ambushed the artist as he visited a Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies in his hometown.”
If the current findings of the autopsy are correct, the culprits are senseless assassins. Indeed, there is no justification for the level of assault Dolph was subjected to. The performer had no chance of surviving!
The Suspects in Dolph’s murder.
Justin Johnson, an aspiring rap artist, named Straight Drop, and Cornelius Smith were identified as assailants. At the time of their arrest, only one had representation. Due to circumstances, Johnson was appointed counsel. Interestingly, Johnson’s lawyer Gangulli did have a few words to say about the upcoming trial. According to a source,
“Gangulli said he’s ready to take on the challenge of the case. He said the best outcome would be to get an acquittal at trial. Not everyone gets convicted,”
For sure this strikes fear in the hearts of many and makes others’ blood boil. however, a society that upholds the statutes of justice must maintain the principle of innocence until proof of guilt.
Matters Shaping the Trial
As it stands, both Johnson and Smith entered pleas of not guilty. However, prosecutors believe they know the motive, a source indicates. Nevertheless, they are keeping the information under wraps.
For now, reports state Johnson and Smith will appear in court on March 24th. FM Hip Hop will keep abreast of breaking developments.
