Young Dolph’s killer was sentenced to life in prison Thursday after being found guilty of taking the life of the Memphis rapper.
Justice has been served in the murder of Young Dolph who was killed in Memphis, Tennessee in 2021. Failed rapper Justin “StraightDrop” Johnson was previously arrested in connection to the murder along with Hernandez Govan and Cornelius Smith. As the trial began this week, prosecutors laid out their case perfectly with undeniable amounts of evidence.
Goven and Smith also testified against Johnson giving a play-by-play of how this all unfolded.
One of the biggest bombshells revealed in court was that Yo Gotti’s brother Big Jook, who was murdered in January, ordered the hit on Dolph with a promise of $100K for the murder. Police evidence showed the alleged killers contacted Jook before and immediately after the shooting.
As previously reported the faux-assassins for hire revealed that despite being told they’d make six figures, they only received $800.
According to Rolling Stone, Johnson was found guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Johnson will now serve life in prison.
