The trial of Hernandez Govan, 45, began Monday in a Memphis courtroom. Govan is charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and first-degree murder. He is not accused of shooting Young Dolph, but prosecutors claim he directed the two people who did and was criminally responsible for the commission of premeditated murder.

Police said two men got out of a car, armed with guns, and fired multiple shots into the cookie store. Young Dolph was killed at the scene. An autopsy report found that Young Dolph had almost 24 bullet wounds. Mourners quickly flocked to Makeda's, turning the boarded-up storefront into a memorial site for the Memphis rapper.
