In a shocking development in the ongoing investigation into the murder of Big Jook, the brother of Memphis rapper Yo Gotti, authorities have arrested three members of the PRE (Paper Route Empire) crew. The arrests follow revelations that an AirTag was allegedly placed in Big Jook’s getaway vehicle, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding his fatal shooting outside a Hickory Hill restaurant earlier this year.
The Memphis Police Department has been working diligently to uncover the truth behind Big Jook’s death, which occurred amid a long-standing rivalry in the Memphis rap scene. Big Jook, a prominent figure associated with Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group (CMG), was shot in a brazen attack that left the community in shock. Despite months of investigation, details have remained scarce.
Sources close to the investigation indicate that prior to his death, Big Jook had been advised to avoid certain vehicles due to the ongoing scrutiny from law enforcement. Reports suggest that tensions escalated leading up to the shooting, with allegations that Big Jook was involved in discussions that may have provoked rival factions. Notably, his brother, Yo Gotti, reportedly made a hasty phone call shortly before the incident, further complicating the narrative surrounding the events.
Witness accounts have surfaced, indicating that Big Jook was in close proximity to the scene of Young Dolph’s shooting, leading to speculation about his potential involvement. Young Dolph’s murder has reignited discussions about loyalty and betrayal within the hip-hop community, particularly concerning the dynamics between rival crews and their associates.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is now involved, with a focus on collecting forensic evidence and witness testimonies to piece together the events leading to Big Jook’s death. As the investigation unfolds, the families of both Big Jook and Young Dolph seek answers and justice, hoping for closure amid the chaos of their intertwined legacies. The situation remains fluid, and the Memphis community continues to grapple with the fallout from these tragic events.
