Man shot near Young Dolph memorial as mourners gather to pay tribute to the late rapper

A man was shot on Thursday afternoon near the site of a memorial for rapper Young Dolph, who was shot and killed in Memphis on Wednesday.

The shooting on Thursday afternoon took place near Makedas Homemade Butter Cookies, the shop that the hip-hop artist was visiting when he was killed. 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. The cause of this shooting is under investigation.”

It is unclear whether the shootings are connected. ABC News reached out to the Memphis Police Department but a request for comment was not immediately returned.

Hours before the shooting Thursday, Memphis Police released photos on Twitter of the suspects and the suspected vehicle connected to Young Dolph’s killing, and urged anyone with information to contact police.

According to police, Dolph was killed while he was inside Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies in South Memphis. The rapper, born Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., was pronounced dead at the scene. He was 36.
