Two months ago two of the men wanted for the murder of Dolph , Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Shundale Barnett, another man wanted in connection with the murder has not been arrested and there is still a warrant out for his arrest.

The report says the bullet wounds include the forehead, temple, face, right back, center back, left-back, right arm, left arm, left chest, left abdomen, right chin, right neck, right wrist and right shoulder.
