A Tennessee man, Jermarcus Johnson, has been sentenced to six years' probation for his involvement in the aftermath of the murder of rapper Young Dolph at a Memphis bakery. Johnson pleaded guilty to three counts of serving as an accessory after the shooting, where he assisted the two hired killers, Cornelius Smith Jr. and Justin Johnson, in communicating while they were on the run.

Justin Johnson, Jermarcus' half-brother, was convicted of first-degree murder and other charges and sentenced to life in prison plus 35 years. Smith, who testified at Justin Johnson's trial, has been charged with first-degree murder for his role in the shooting.
