Horror pics show Young Dolph's body and camouflaged Lamborghini being towed away from cookie shop death scene

DEVASTATING pictures have been released of rapper Young Dolph's body and camouflaged Lamborghini being towed away from where he was reportedly shot dead.

The artist, whose real name is Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., was reportedly shot at Makeda's Cookies in Memphis Tennessee on Wednesday afternoon.



Images from Thursday show the scene taped off with cop cars blocking the street in front of the store.

Other emergency services were seen located in the parking lot of the bakery.

Young Dolph's Lamborghini was seen parked up outside of Makeda's Cookies where the rapper regularly visited.

Other pictures from the crime scene show a large police presence with people recording the aftermath on their phones.

Maurice Hill, the owner of the shop where the shooting happened, told FOX13 his employees said Young Dolph walked into the store to buy cookies.

The owner then claimed that someone drove up and shot and killed the rapper at roughly 1pm. He also told WREG that the star was hit while he was buying cookies.

Fox also reports that three law enforcement officers confirmed the young rapper's death.

The artist was reportedly not alone when he was shot, the outlet reports, however, it is not clear who he was with or if they were hurt.

The owner of the local store Comfort Coin-Operated Laundry told The Sun: "My worker who was here hit the floor when she heard the gunshots.

"We're closing up real soon. Everything is shut down. The street in front of the store and all the side streets are blocked off because people are coming over here to see what happened."

A local reporter at the scene showed cops in bullet-proof vests outside of the store taping off the area.

Reports claim that a window of the cookie shop was broken following the shooting.

Eagle-eyed fans believe that they spotted the rapper's vehicle, a camouflage print two-door, in the parking lot.

Police confirmed that one male victim was pronounced dead following the shooting, but insisted that their identity will only be revealed when the next of kin have been contacted.

Those with information on the shooting have been asked to call 901-528-CASH.

Reporters at the scene claimed that members of the community were turning up to the scene, with some lying on the ground in tears.

RAPPER WAS A REGULAR AT THE STORE

No information about the shooter has been released and it is not yet clear whether or not the suspect is on the run.

In a statement, Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland called the shooting “another reminder of the pain that violent crime brings with it.

“My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.”

Just days before his reported death, the rapper was filmed at the store helping to advertise their products.

"Young Dolph says every time he comes home he has to stop by Makeda's Cookies," the company posted alongside a video of the star outside the store.

Young Dolph was a 36-year-old rapper who has been on the scene for years. His debut mixtape, Paper Route Campaign was released in 2008, years before his first studio album King of Memphis in 2016.

He has collaborated with multiple rappers including 2 Chainz, Key Glock, T.I., Gucci Mane, and Megan Thee Stallion. 

Megan Thee Stallion posted a tribute to Young Dolph on her Instagram. "He was so genuine so real so kind to me."
