In a shocking turn of events, Anthony Mims, known as Big Jook and brother of rapper Yo Gotti, was fatally shot in Memphis shortly after attending a funeral, raising suspicions of a targeted hit linked to the violent fallout from Young Dolph’s murder. The incident unfolded around 4:15 p.m. outside a restaurant and event center on Winchester Road, where witnesses reported multiple gunshots ringing out. Authorities found two victims on the scene, with Big Jook later pronounced dead at the hospital.
The backdrop to this tragedy is an ongoing feud that has engulfed Memphis’s rap scene in violence since Young Dolph’s death in 2021. Big Jook had previously taunted Dolph on social media and associated with individuals connected to Dolph’s murder, igniting speculation that his ๐๐พ๐๐ing was an act of retaliation. The police now consider his death potentially linked to the same forces behind Dolph’s assassination.
Witnesses claim that individuals dressed in black were seen leaving the funeral early, possibly following Big Jook to his car before opening fire. Surveillance footage captured a white SUV with removed license plates fleeing the scene, intensifying fears of an escalating gang conflict. Social media erupted with claims that this was just another chapter in a deadly cycle of revenge, with many pointing fingers at Dolph’s camp for orchestrating the hit.
As the investigation unfolds, the streets of Memphis remain tense, with both camps bracing for further retaliation. This shocking incident not only underscores the lethal consequences of the longstanding rivalry but also highlights the deep-rooted violence that continues to plague the local rap community. The repercussions of Young Dolph’s murder are far from over, and the bloodshed shows no signs of abating.
