Three people were arrested after a man was shot near a memorial for rapper Young Dolph, Memphis police said on Thursday.
Dolph, whose real name is Adolph Robert Thornton, Jr, was shot and killed while at a Memphis cookie store on Wednesday. He was 36.
A day later, police said a man was shot down the street from the same store, which has become a memorial for Dolph.
The man had "non-critical" injuries, police said.
"Officers immediately detained two suspects, and a third was detained at Kerr and Mississippi after a brief pursuit," Memphis police wrote on Twitter, adding that the shooting "is under investigation."
Police said Terrance Jones, Jailon Nelvis, and Tavis McQueen were arrested and charged in the incident.
Young Dolph — who released a debut album in 2016 — is known for his 2020 album "Rich Slave," which is his fifth solo studio album.
Police said there is "no evidence" that the two shootings are related.
