Young Dolph was shot and killed on the afternoon of November 17 as he picked up cookies at Makeda’s Homemade Cookies. The bakery’s owner, Maurice Hill, said his employees had just waited on Dolph when bullets rang out from a white Mercedes-Benz.
The 36-year-old rapper, who was in town for his annual turkey giveaway at St. James Missionary Baptist Church, ultimately succumbed to his injuries. Despite Young Dolph’s murder, Paper Route Empire artist Snupe Bandz and other supporters stepped up and helped execute the event, promising to continue it for years to come.
“It’s very important because we still have folks out here unfortunate and probably don’t have money to buy turkeys,” Snupe told FOX13. “We’re just representing Young Dolph. And, just keeping the legacy going. And, getting people to know we’re going to do this every year.”
