Young Dolph’s Murder Trial: Security Footage Of The Shooting Revealed In Court
The three men charged with murder in the killing of Young Dolph, named Hernandez Govan, Justin Johnson, and Cornelius Smith, all began their trial on Monday morning. In court, attorneys revealed security footage from the infamous shooting that left the beloved Memphis rapper dead at the age of 26. In the clip, Dolph stops into Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies as a group of gunmen arrive to ambush him from behind.
During the opening statements, Shelby County Assistant District Attorney Paul Hagerman accused the late Big Jook of putting out a $100,000 hit on Dolph. “Big Jook, the person I told you about before, the number two guy at CMG, he’s put out a hit, a hit, $100,000 to whoever kills Dolph,” Hagerman said, as caught by Fox 13′s Jeremy Pierre. “He has met with Justin (Johnson). He has met with Cornelius (Smith) and they think they’re ready to do it.” In addition to the money, Hagerman also claimed Justin Johnson was motivated to become the next big artist for Yo Gotti’s record label, CMG.
