π£ My thoughts;
So, let me get this straight...
This guy has previously been involved in another shooting. A shooting in which he was arrested, convicted, and sentenced.
In 2017, he blindly, intentionally, and senselessly fired a rifle into an occupied bowling alley during business hours, shooting multiple times and hitting multiple people.
He committed a mass shooting, he attempted mass murder.
Why was this evil person out of prison on the day Young Dolph was killed?
He should have never been released.
If you discharge a firearm intentionally into an occupied building, home, or vehicle, with the intention on shooting an innocent human in a malice manner, you should never get out of prison.
If you discharge a firearm intentionally within city limits, in any manner other than in self defense or at a designated official indoor gun range, you should go straight to prison for 10+ years.

Background
The self-proclaimed king of his city, Young Dolph has always known how to hustle. Born as Adolph Thornton Jr. in Chicago, Illinois, Dolphβs family moved to Memphis while he was a two-year-old, a decision that would change the Memphis music scene forever.
Influenced by major Memphis rap stars of the 2000s such as Project Pat and Three 6 Mafia, Young Dolph released his first mixtape Paper Route Campaign in 2008. Dolph soon formed his own independent music label, Paper Route Empire, in 2010 and followed with his first major release Welcome 2 Dolph World.
Young Dolph released several more albums in the coming years, including his High Class Street Music series and a personal favorite, 16 Zips in 2015. But, it wasnβt until his feature on O.T. Genasisβ multi-platinum single βCut Itβ and the release of his first studio album King of Memphis in 2016 that Dolph truly burst into the national rap scene.
It was also around this time that Dolphβs independent label, Paper Route EMPIRE, began to expand operations in Memphis. The most important of all contributors to the label, Key Glock, is actually Young Dolphβs second cousin, and his debut mixtape Glock Season in 2017 kicked off a stellar five-year run of music from the Memphis duo.
While their individual releases are tremendous on their own, the combination of Key Glock and Young Dolph created a recipe that few other rap acts could follow. That much was immediately clear when their first collaboration, βMajorβ on Young Dolphβs 2018 release Role Model peaked at No. 47 on the Billboard hip-hop charts.

π£ My thoughts;
Here the alleged killer, Justin Johnson, aka StraightDrop, professes his innocence and says he will be turning himself in on Monday at 201 Poplar, in a recent Instagram post.
He also shared a video that was initially posted by ABC-24 News. It is a video of the judge making excuses for letting Johnson out of jail early, it can be viewed here.
IMO, I hope he is jailed before the night is over.
The havoc he has caused previously at that bowling alley paired with what happened to Dolph, he does not deserve another night of freedom.
π°β οΈ $15k reward for info leading to the arrest of Justin Johnson, aka StraightDrop.

I just read a new article on his death and being shot at so much over the past few years leading to him releasing 100 shots. Why was he shot at so much? Was that just a part of his lifestyle?
