U.S. Marshals and local police are on the hunt for Johnson, who has an alleged history of gang activity and is considered armed and dangerous. He is currently on the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s “Most Wanted” list and there is a $15,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
Johnson was initially connected to Dolph’s murder after the getaway car that was captured on surveillance footage was found outside of the same house where Johnson, who is rumored to have fallen out with Dolph prior to his death, recorded one of his own music videos.
