Johnson, who was previously said to have ties to organized criminal gangs and was considered armed and dangerous, also has an outstanding warrant for breach of federal supervised release on a charge of weapon offense. 

Cornelius Smith, 32, is the second suspect charged in Young Dolph’s death. He was already being held on an auto-theft warrant after being arrested in Southaven, Mississippi, roughly 210 miles northeast of Memphis, on December 9. 

The auto-theft warrant stemmed from the white Mercedes Benz used in Young Dolph’s murder. The vehicle was reportedly taken in a carjacking at a Memphis gas station on November 10, 2021, according to the district attorney, and found abandoned a few days after the rapper’s death. 

ABC 24 News reported Smith is now charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, felon in possession of a firearm, use of a handgun in the commission of a violent felony and theft of goods worth more than $10,000. The victim in the attempted murder charge is reportedly Young Dolph’s brother, who was with him at the time of the shooting.
