The bakery, which has been boarded shut, has since become the site of a memorial for the rapper, where mourners gathered to pay their respects. Officers are on the scene of a shooting at 2630 Airways,” the Memphis Police Department tweeted Thursday afternoon. One male was shot and is listed as non-critical. Officers immediately detained two suspects, and a third was detained at Kerr and Mississippi after a brief pursuit.

During a press conference Wednesday evening, Memphis Police Chief C.

Pamela Hill, whose family owns Makedas, told ABC News on Wednesday that the rapper was a “fan” of the bakery. Young Dolph appeared in a video posted on the cookie shop’s Instagram account just last week, saying that he visited Makedas every time he was in his hometown. Dolph was born in Chicago but grew up in Memphis and released his first studio album, “The King of Memphis,” in 2016.
Over the past decade, the rapper rose to prominence in the indie hip-hop scene by releasing a series of mixtapes, and founded his independent record label Paper Route Empire in 2010. He was injured in a previous shooting in Los Angeles in September 2017. I’ve been targeted since I was 17, 18, 19,” he told The Guardian in a 2018 interview. I just knew that I was good. The news of Dolph’s killing sent shock waves through the music world and tributes poured in from his fans, friends and collaborators who want to honor the late rapper and his legacy.
