Dolph had his camo Lamborghini parked in front of the shop when police arrived at the scene. It appears Dolph was standing inside the shop during the shooting.
Just a week before, Young Dolph visited the same cookie shop. In a video, Dolph hypes the shop and brags on his oven-fresh, chocolate chip cookies.
Cops have released photos of two suspects with guns who are seen driving away from the scene in a white Mercedes Benz. As of now, no arrests have been made, and his shooting death is still under investigation.
