At the beginning of the year, Shundale Barnett and Justin Johnson were arrested together in Indiana for the murder of Young Dolph, but shortly after, authorities in Indiana released Barnett, who was charged with being an accessory to helping Johnson flee Memphis. Now, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office is searching for Barnett and he cannot be located.

Clay County Sheriff Paul Harden said in a statement, “On Jan. 11, Mr. Shundale Barnett was brought to the Clay County Jail by the Indiana State Police from an arrest on I-70. He was booked in the Clay County Jail on an outstanding warrant from Shelby County, Tennessee. We held them (Barnett), contacted Shelby County, and held him on their warrant and we were contacted on Jan. 21 and they told us that they were no longer wanting to come up and pick up Mr. Barnett and that we were to release him at that time.”

 Cornelius Smith the first person to be charged in Young Dolph’s death, was charged with auto theft in connection to the Mercedes used as the getaway car in the murder.

Several media reports have confirmed that a third man has been taken into custody in connection to the November 17 murder of Young Dolph in Memphis.

27-year-old Shundale Barnett was charged by the U.S Marshals with being an after-the-fact accessory to first-degree murder today(January 12). Barnett was a passenger in the vehicle with Justin Johnson, the first suspect who was identified, when he was apprehended in Terre Haute, Indiana. Johson, 23, surrendered to authorities without incident.

“Shundale Barnett is a person who, we believe, was providing assistance to Justin since we’ve been looking for him,” said U.S. Marshal Tyreece Miller at a press conference detailing the arrest, which was held in Memphis.

Prosecutors have identified and arrested 32-year-old Cornelius Smith as being the second gunman in the deadly shooting. He has been charged with first-degree murder alongside Johnson.
