The "Cut It" rapper, age 36, was on his way to live a typical day, stopping by Makeda's Butter Cookies to buy treats. 

As per the owner of the bakery, Maurice Hill, just as he was leaving the place, an anonymous car pulled up and shot him, resulting in his death around 1 pm, as Daily Beast reports. 

Call it a mere play of destiny, the 36-year-old was a regular on the Cookie place. The place had also posted a video on Instagram of his appearance in the store. 

“The tragic shooting death of rap artist Young Dolph serves as another reminder of the pain that violent crime brings with it,”

The Mayor of Memphis, Jim Strickland, said on his Twitter account. He also forwarded his thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. 

The sudden death of the American rapper has shaken the hip-hop community, and more so, all of the social media as condolences have not stopped pouring for him and his family.
