Memphis rapper Young Dolph was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday afternoon in his hometown. The well-respected rapper was 36-years-old old at the time of his passing. He was reportedly picking up cookies at one of his favorite local shops when somebody pulled up and fired shots through the store's window. Dolph reportedly fired back, but he was pronounced dead on the scene shortly afterward.
As more information continues to be released regarding Dolph's murder, a couple of photos showing the rapper's alleged shooters are being circulated online. In the pictures, two men can be seen holding guns. The first photo shows a glimpse of Dolph's camouflage-wrapped Corvette, which was in the shop's parking lot, as well as a man wearing a mask and holding a handgun. A second suspect can be seen in another photo, operating a semi-automatic machine gun.

Mia Jaye, Dolph's longtime partner, has actively advocated that "Black men deserve to grow old," which makes this situation all the more heartbreaking.
