The two men accused of shooting and killing Young Dolph, Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith, have reportedly hired the lawyer that helped Blac Youngsta get off when he was charged with shooting Dolph’s car in 2017.
According to Fox 13 Memphis, Johnson and Smith are working with Horne, who will be defending them in court. They stand accused of murdering Young Dolph at Makeda’s Cookies, a local bakery that the rapper often visited.
Horne will be addressing the media shortly, previously claiming that he would make a statement once Johnson turned himself in. The accused killer, who is also a rapper named Straight Drop, claimed on social media that he would be turning himself in earlier this week. Instead, he took advantage of his increased profile and released a music video while on the run. Johnson and Smith were arrested on Tuesday (January 11).
Johnson has maintained his innocence in recent weeks, and Smith’s social media pages have yet to be exposed.
