Three men are facing charges in a shooting that happened near the memorial that has been set up to honor the memory of Young Dolph.
The rapper was shot and killed as he visited Makeda’s Butter Cookies in Memphis earlier this week.
Police said the second shooting is not related to the murder of Young Dolph, but it did happen about 24 hours after the rapper was killed, WHBQ reported.
The man shot was wounded, but his injury to the leg was listed as non-critical, police said, according to WHBQ.
Police have charged Terrance Jones, 23, Jailon Nelvis, 29, and Travis McQueen, 22, in connection with the shooting.

Police said a car drove by with three or four men inside and that a shot was fired from the backseat, hitting the victim in the thigh. They then left the scene. Police followed the car and when it was involved in a wreck, police said the men ran and threw guns from the vehicle.
They were taken into custody after a brief foot chase.
They face charges including reckless driving, evading arrest, possession of prohibited weapons, theft and unlawful possession of a weapon, WHBQ reported.
