On November of 2021, the “1 Scale” rapper was killed during a targeted shooting at Makeda’s Home Cooked Cookies in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. As previously reported by HOT 97, an autopsy revealed that he received 22 gunshot wounds, some of which hit his forehead and back. Five men, including Govan, have been accused of his murder. The names of the other suspects are Justin Johnson, Cornelius Smith, Jemarcus Johnson, and Shundale Barnett. According to law enforcement, Govan organized the killing of the rapper and ordered Johnson and Smith to carry out the hit.

May Young Dolph continue to rest in peace.
