Earlier this month, U.S. Marshalls, Memphis Police Department and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced that Johnson is one of the suspects in Dolph's murder. He is wanted by police in connection with several charges.
"#TNMostWanted: We need your help to find Justin Johnson, wanted by @MEM_PoliceDept and TBI for 1st Degree Murder, Criminal Attempt-1st Degree Murder, & Theft of Property $10,000-$60,000," so read the post shared on Twitter alongside his photo. "He should be considered armed & dangerous. Seen him? Call 901-378-3132 or 1-800-TBI-FIND."
Dolph's aunt Rita Myers, however, claimed that the news mad her "feel worse." She told Rolling Stone, "There's not any closure for us with this news, because [Johnson] is not in custody, and we still don't have all the facts."
"We still feel the same. This news just made me feel worse," Rita continued. "I thought it would make me feel better, but it didn't. All I know is, anyone who could walk up and take the life of another person for no reason is someone with hate in their heart, a person who has no regard for life, a person who cares about nothing."
On the next day, a photo of the late star and the 23-year-old circulated on social media. In the snap, the "RNB" rapper was seen enjoying himself while holding a stack of cash in a party. There were some people standing behind him, including a man who looks like Johnson.
Dolph was gunned down in Memphis while he was shopping inside a cookie store in mid-November 2021. He reportedly was in town for his annual Thanksgiving giveaway.
