It's unclear what role the two men played in the rapper's death

Dolph, whose real name was Adolph Thornton Jr, was buying cookies at a bakery he has frequented in the past when two suspects opened fire, killing him.

It’s unclear what roles the two men allegedly played in the rapper’s death as police did not provide any details.

Police gave descriptions of the new suspects. Burns was described as a Black male who is 5’6 and weighs 135 pounds. Taylor, also a Black male, is 6’6 and weighs 180 pounds.

Two other suspects, Justin Johnson, 23, and Cornelius Smith, 32, pleaded guilty earlier this month to first-degree murder charges. It is believed that the two acted as the gunmen during the incident.

Johnson, who performs under the name Straight Drop, released a song called Track Hawk which included the lyrics “50 shots in 20 seconds.”

In a music video for the track, he’s seen holding a stack of $100 bills and rapping in front of a gas station: “The only time he see my face when I’ma blam him.”

OTHER SUSPECT ON THE RUN

Another suspect, Shondale Bennett, 27, is currently on the lam despite his arrest being announced on January 11 by US Marshals.

He was being held in a Clay County Jail in Indiana awaiting extradition to Memphis, however, jail records show that he is no longer behind bars and it’s unclear what happened to him.

Barnett is accused of being an accessory in the rapper’s death and the alleged attempt of killing Thorton’s brother, who was also at the bakery at the time of the shooting.

Clay County Sheriff Paul Harden said that Barnett was arrested and booked on January 11 on an outstanding warrant from Shelby County. He was taken into custody by Indiana State Police but Shelby County had called Clay County days later.

“…they told us that they were no longer wanting to come and pick up Mr Barnett and that we were to release him at that time,” said Harden.

The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that that is a warrant for Barnett’s arrest but details regarding the case could not be provided.
