More Details On The Verdict For One Of Young Dolph’s Suspected Killers
On Thursday (Sept. 26), the court found Justin Johnson guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy in the murder of Young Dolph. Judge Jennifer Mitchell also convicted him of possessing a handgun as a felon, according to TMZ.

Justin is one of the two men responsible for murdering Dolph outside of a local bakery in Memphis, Tennessee, in November 2021.

VIBE revealed that Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith admitted to shooting into Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies in 2021. Smith testified that they carried out a $100,000 hit on Young Dolph at the request of Yo Gotti’s brother, Anthony “Big Jook” Mims. Mims was later killed in a shooting in January.

Earlier this week, Cornelius Smith Jr. testified, further implicating Big Jook in Young Dolph’s murder, as TSR previously reported.

He revealed that he and Justin Johnson FaceTimed Jook after the murder to confirm it had occurred. Smith stated he had never met Dolph but claimed that Jook promised during the call to “get up” with them. He also mentioned he expected to earn $40,000 from the hit.

Shortly after Justin Johnson received his sentence, Dolph’s fiancée, Mia Jaye, shared her reaction. She released a statement on Instagram, thanking the public for supporting her and her family during this difficult process.

“Today’s verdict brings relief and restores my confidence in the justice system. On behalf of my children, family, and myself, I would like to thank law enforcement, the prosecution, and everyone involved for their diligent work in presenting the facts that led to this conviction. We are also grateful to the public for standing with us and advocating for accountability throughout this process,” Mia’s statement reads.

Additionally, Miya expressed that the past three years have been incredibly challenging due to losing Dolph and everything surrounding the trial.

However, his tragic murder has inspired her to remain strong in her pursuit of justice, not just for him but for all Black men.

“This is just the beginning of our journey toward achieving full justice for Adolph, and we will patiently support the unfolding of that process,” Mia concluded.

Miya Jaye wasn’t the only one to respond to the guilty verdict; Dolph’s sister, Carlisa Brown, also shared her thoughts.

In a clip obtained by TSR, Brown urged everyone to remember her brother, not his killers.

“We ask you to remember the man who enjoyed being a father and spending time with his family. We ask that you remember the man who enjoyed giving opportunities to those who were often overlooked and counted out. We ask that you remember the man who enjoyed giving back to others and being an inspiration to those who come from less-than-ideal backgrounds,” Carlisa said as tears streamed down her face.
