Young Dolph: Paper Route Empire Standing On Business

Will TV

A man who was named by police as a person of interest in the 2021 murder of rapper/music exec, Young Dolph, has been killed. Allegedly, family members identified Joshua Taylor as the victim of a fatal sh*oting in the city on Wednesday afternoon. Taylor, who reportedly went by the alias CEO Teezy was named as a person of interest in the Dolph murder case in February 2022 and according to the report he was wanted on a number of other charges including theft of property upwards of sixty thousand dollars and possession of a prohibited weapon. News reported that Taylor was found shot to death inside a car, and that he was thought to have been a friend of Justin Johnson, one of the two alleged shooters who’ve been charged in Dolph’s killing. Police never charged Taylor directly in the killing and he had not been mentioned in the case, though investigators reportedly wanted to find out if Taylor knew where Johnson was on the day of Dolph’s killing, or if he knew anything about the murder. Dolph, born Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., was gunned down while shopping at Makeda’s Cookies near his childhood home in Memphis, in November of 2021. Jermarcus Johnson, 26, pleaded guilty to three counts of accessory after the fact, after officials said he helped two other men during the daytime ambush. Johnson was the first of four defendants to plead guilty or be convicted in Dolph shooting.
