Famous American rapper Young Dolph shot dead at cookie shop


Washington: The American rapper Adolph Robert Thornton aka Young Dolph was shot dead on Wednesday at a cookie shop in Memphis.
According to Tennessee police, the 36-year-old musician Adolph Robert Thornton was reportedly shopping at a cookie shop in his hometown of Memphis when someone drove up and shot him.
The Chicago-born artist was known for hit songs such as "Major," and his 2020 album "Rich Slave" shot to the top of the Billboard 200 list.
Police said they have yet to identify a suspect.
The Memphis Police Department released a statement reporting the shooting and said "preliminary information" indicates the victim was Thornton.
Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland confirmed the news of Young Dolph's death.
"The tragic shooting death of rap artist Young Dolph serves as another reminder of the pain that violent crime brings with it," he said.
It is pertinent to remember that he escaped the death twice in 2017. Thornton was almost killed in a shooting in Los Angeles. He sustained three gunshot wounds, news reports said.
Earlier that year his car was sprayed with bullets in Charlotte, North Carolina.
