As the hip hop community mourned the death of 36-year old star Young Dolph, his home city of Memphis took the loss a lot harder. According to reports, Dolph was back in Memphis for his annual Turkey giveaway when he was gunned down at Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies in South Memphis on Wednesday afternoon. Police have released video footage of the gunmen, which showed two gunmen with heavy artillery, shooting inside of the cookie shop. The footage also gives a quick glimpse of Dolph's camo Corvette parked outside.
Shortly after the shooting, which shook the entire city of Memphis -- locals experienced another shake up after a 4.0 Earthquake shook Williamsville, Missouri and effects made it's way to Bluff City. Folks quickly took to social media to share their theories on how the sudden quake relates to Dolph's untimely death. One fan tweeted:
