Young Dolph Shot 22 Times, Autopsy Reveals

Young Dolph was shot 22 times in the hail of gunfire that ended the famed rapper’s life at a Memphis bakery last November, new autopsy results reported by WHBQ-TV reveal.

The findings from the West Tennessee Regional Forensic Center say that the musician, born Adolph Thorton Jr., was shot in his left chest, left abdomen, right chin, right neck, right shoulder, both arms and multiple times in his back, the station reported.

Young Dolph’s aunt, Rita Myers, said Tuesday she was still waiting to see the report and bracing herself considering the details already reported by local media.

“It’s difficult to process. This takes us through it all again. We’re going through a whole lot right now, and this adds to it,” Myers tells Rolling Stone.

In a January interview the week her nephew’s murder suspects were publicly identified, Myers said her family was still reeling: “Our family has suffered a tremendous loss, because he was the glue that held our family together.”

Young Dolph’s brazen daylight assassination unfolded Nov. 17, 2021, when two gunmen traveling in a stolen Mercedes-Benz ambushed the artist as he visited a Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies in his hometown.
