Memphis Police Department (MPD) officials released security camera images of the suspects in Wednesday’s fatal shooting of Memphis rapper Young Dolph (Adolph Thornton Jr.)
Thornton was shot Wednesday inside Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies on Airways just after noon. On the ascent, MPD said an “unresponsive male” was lying on the floor with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead on the scene and was later identified as Thornton.
“Investigators obtained video surveillance which shows two suspects exit a white two-door Mercedes Benz armed with guns,” read a statement from MPD Thursday. “The suspects approached the victim while he was inside the business and shot the victim several times. The suspects then fled the scene.
“No arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing.”
Police officials are asking the public for any information that could help them identify the attackers.
