Rapper Young Dolph hospitalized after Hollywood shooting

Rapper Young Dolph has been hospitalized after being shot repeatedly in Hollywood, Fox 11 LA reports.

It’s not currently known what condition the rapper, whose real name is Adolph Thornton Jr., is in. He was shot near the intersection of Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Ave., a major intersection popular with tourists that is close to landmarks like the TCL Chinese Theater and El Capitan Theater.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department would not confirm the identity of the shooting victim to TheWrap, but said the shooting took place at approximately 1:12 p.m. on Tuesday. There was only one victim.

The LAPD spokesman told TheWrap that there was no suspect in custody. However, according to Fox 11 LA, police were looking for a gold Cadillac Escalade SUV in connection with the shooting.

Young Dolph, whose most recent full-length studio album “Bulletproof” was released in April, has reportedly been targeted by gunfire before. According to the Charlotte Observer, the rapper boasted that the SUV he was traveling in during a shooting in Charlotte, North Carolina, had been reinforced to be bullet-proof.

Young Dolph, 32, was born in Chicago but is based in Memphis. He released his debut album, “King of Memphis,” last year.
