At least one person is said to have been shot during rapper Young Dolph memorial on Thursday outside Makeda’s Cookie shop. And three people are also said to have been detained by the police, ABC24Memphis reports.
According to the report, people had been gathering at the store in the 2300 block of Airways Blvd all day to remember the hip-hop star, who was shot and killed at the store Wednesday.
ABC24Memphis reported that their video showed the crowd dispersed from the Young Dolph memorial after the shot.
One man was loaded into a silver Nissan SUV after the shot was fired. Police said the man who was shot was taken to the hospital in non-critical condition.
Investigators said two people were detained immediately after the shooting, and a third was caught at Kerr and Mississippi after a short chase.
The shot was fired moments after Memphis Police released pictures of the suspects in Wednesday’s shooting.
Officers are on the scene of a shooting at 2630 Airways. 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.
The cause of this shooting is under investigation, the report added.
Young Dolph was shot and killed in his hometown on Wednesday.
The rapper was gunned down Wednesday in Memphis, TN outside a local cookie store and there’s already a massive police presence with people recording the aftermath.
A video from the crime scene shows his car parked outside the shop while police investigate.
FOX13 Memphis was the first to report Dolph’s death.
According to TMZ, a source says Young Dolph went into the store, and a vehicle pulled up, firing through a front window and striking the rapper.
Young Dolph’s attorney and friend Scott Hall told reporters the rapper was in town for his annual Thanksgiving giveaway, and he has been living in Atlanta most of the time.
Hall says Young Dolph was scheduled to hand out a truckload of turkeys to folks in his old neighbourhood on Wednesday afternoon. His plan was to head to the event right after the cookie store.
