He is accused of helping his cousin Justin Johnson evade police. Court documents reveal more shocking details about the case. Legal consequences for the suspects are mounting.
In a twist in the pursuit of justice for Young Dolph’s murder, Shundale Barnett has been arrested after avoiding law enforcement for two years. He faces charges including accessory after the fact, attempted first-degree murder, and property theft.
The arrest comes as Barnett is believed to have assisted his cousin, Justin Johnson, in evading capture. Johnson, also known as “Straight Drop,” was convicted of first-degree murder and is serving life in prison.
Barnett allegedly rented a car for Johnson to use after Young Dolph’s murder, according to court documents. His arrest warrant was issued in 2022, but he remained at large until now, suggesting a prolonged evasion.
This legal drama continues to unfold with other family members involved. Jemarcus Johnson, another of Justin Johnson’s relatives, was sentenced earlier this year. He pleaded guilty to being an accessory and received a six-year diversionary sentence.
As for the other suspects, Cornelius Smith Jr. and Hernandez Govan, their legal battles are ongoing. Govan’s trial is set to begin soon, keeping the spotlight on this high-profile case.
The arrest of Shundale Barnett marks a significant development in the ongoing Young Dolph murder case.
