Young Dolph was murdered in cold blood while on his way to pass out Thanksgiving turkeys in his old community. The case has drawn national attention and captivated hip-hop fans. Two persons of interest were recently named in the case.

Devin Burns was named as one of the potential suspects on the Memphis Police Department’s Facebook page. Police had been unable to locate Burns or 26-year-old Joshua Taylor as of earlier this week. One of those two men is now in custody on unrelated charges.

Fox 13 Memphis reports that Devin Burns had two active warrants out for his arrest. Devin was picked up early Tuesday morning for aggravated assault. Burns also faces property theft charges ranging somewhere between $10,000 and $60,000.

Police are still searching for Joshua Taylor as well as another suspect, Shondale Barnett. Barnett was last seen in Brazil, Indiana, and could be anywhere. The opportunity to question Burns could give the police some leads.
