A
private
vehicle
drove
the
second
victim
to
St.
Francis
Hospital.
The
unidentified
man
had
to
be
airlifted
to
Regional
One
Health
in
critical
condition.

Memphis
police
have
not
yet
released
more
information
about
the
shooting
or
the
suspect.
As
of
a
press
conference
Saturday
night,
they
are
still
reviewing
evidence.

They
believe
the
suspect
specifically
targeted
both
men.
There
is
at
least
one
shooter,
but
police
have
not
yet
ruled
out
more
people
involved.

“Right
now
we
do
have
video
that
we’re
analyzing,
but
we
don’t
have
a
clear
suspect
identified
at
this
time,”
Memphis
Deputy
Police
Chief
Paul
Wright
said.

Big
Jook
Was
Murdered
Right
After
Attending
A
Funeral

In
a
tragic
twist,
Big
Jook
had
just
attended
a
funeral
for
a
loved
one
earlier
that
day.
According
to
Deputy
Chief
Wright,
both
victims
were
at
the
restaurant
to
attend
a
repast.
On
Instagram,
Big
Jook’s
last
story
was
a
tribute
to
his
loved
one.
“RIP
UNK
LAS
VEGAS
ERIC
LEGENDARY
KINGPIN,”
he
wrote.

It’s
unclear
if
Yo
Gotti
was
also
at
the
scene
when
his
brother
was
gunned
down.
The
two
siblings
were
very
close.
Big
Jook
appeared
to
work
behind
the
scenes
with
Gotti’s
Collective
Music
Group
record
label.
He
dedicated
his
social
media
to
releases
from
artists
like
Glorilla
and
Money
Bagg
Yo.
He
also
regularly
appeared
in
the
label’s
music
videos.

Two
more
CMG
artists,
Big
Boogie
and
10Percent,
reacted
to
the
tragic
news
and
confirmed
Big
Jook’s
death.

Several
social
media
comments
suspect
this
violence
is
related
to

Young
Dolph’s
murder.
Immediately
following
the
2021
shooting,
Memphis
police
rushed
to
Gotti’s
restaurant
in
fear
of
retaliation.

In
a
clip
of
Grove
Hero’s
IG
Live
circulating
online,
he
claimed
Big
Jook
allegedly
“put
a
$40,000
hit
on”
Dolph.
Other
social
media
users
noted
that
Big
Jook
repeatedly
mocked
Young
Dolph’s
murder
and
grieving
loved
ones.
