The IdaMae Foundation will launch a number of community service initiatives on Nov.17, which is marked as Adolph “Young Dolph” Thornton Jr. Day of Service in Tennessee and Georgia, to pay tribute to Young Dolph’s legacy. No act of service is too modest to be done in the spirit of Young Dolph Day, which inspires people everywhere to give back to their communities.
The IdaMae Foundation will offer lunch, free haircuts, and free winter kits filled with coats, blankets, socks, and gloves at the Hospitality Hub in Memphis, where he was born and raised, from 9 am CT to 1 pm CT.
In Atlanta, they will provide free haircuts and serve dinner at the Evolution Center from 5 pm ET – 7 pm ET. A year after Memphis rapper Young Dolph died, the city still mourns him.
Tributes and reminders of him are scattered across the city he loved, as his fans still want to know why this happened.
Here's what we know so far about Young Dolph's killing. On Nov. 17, 2021, around noon, gunmen charged Makeda's Homemade Butter Cookies on Airways Boulevard and shot and killed Dolph, whose real name was Adolph Thornton Jr., inside the shop.
In photos circulated by the Memphis Police Department, two suspects in the shooting are seen holding guns. Authorities said the suspects pulled up to the cookie store, jumped out of a car and fired into the store — ultimately striking and killing Dolph.
Hernandez Govan was arrested Nov. 10 as a suspect in Dolph's death, according to Shelby County District Attorney General Steve Mulroy. Mulroy, in a newsletter sent out Wednesday, said: "We allege that this individual solicited the murder and put it in motion. We will continue to seek justice in this killing.”
Justin Johnson was arrested Jan. 11 in Indiana by the U.S. Marshals Service as a suspect in Dolph's shooting death.
Cornelius Smith was arrested on Dec. 9, 2021, in Southaven on an auto-theft warrant stemming from the white Mercedes seen in surveillance footage from the day of the shooting.
