The news came as a shock to many people, and as it stands, there are dozens of fans standing outside of the crime scene as a way to pay their respects to the fallen artist.

According to DJ Akademiks, sources are saying that Dolph was purchasing cookies for his mom moments before the shooting. From there, shooters pulled up to the store in a car and began to shoot through the window. Akademiks reports that Dolph tried to shoot back, however, he eventually succumbed to his injuries. There is now speculation that the perpetrators spotted Dolph due to his camo Lamborghini which has become a staple in Memphis.




Just six days ago, Makeda's Cookies had posted Dolph on their Instagram account as he was a huge fan of their treats. The clip below is a true testament to how much Dolph loved his city and the people he came across.

This rap shit can be a blessing and curse. When you got fake industry people like Soulja start dissing you on instagram… people’s view as soft and them thinking that can cost you your life.
