Rapper Young Dolph has died in a shooting incident that took place on Wednesday (November 17) at Makeda’s Homemade Cookies in South Memphis. He was 36. Owner of the store revealed that Young Dolph walked in to buy cookies when someone drove up, shot and killed him around 1 pm.

Young Dolph, whose real name was Adolph Robert Thornton, Jr, was born in Chicago. He was the cousin of late rapper Juice Wrld. He made his debut with the album King of Memphis in 2016, which reached number 49 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
