Young Dolph was shot 22 times outside a store in Memphis, Tennessee, on November 17. The incident took place while he was purchasing cookies for his mother at Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies, a bakery he visited whenever he came back home.

Two unidentified men went down a white two-door Mercedes Benz and gunned him down. Hundreds of people flooded the area, and police had to prevent individuals from entering the area while they were investigating.
