MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Police scoured the city of Memphis, Tennessee, on Thursday as they searched for suspects in the killing of influential rapper Young Dolph at a popular local cookie shop, a shooting that drew shocked and mournful reactions from the music world and throughout his hometown.

Few details have emerged about the shooting of the 36-year-old rapper Wednesday at Makedas Cookies, a well-known bakery not far from Memphis airport. Police have not released suspect information or a possible motive of the shooting of Young Dolph, who was inside the store when he was gunned down.

A throng of the fiercely independent rappers supporters descended on the cookie shop after the shooting, and the business was boarded up late Wednesday. Police asked the public to remain calm and local leaders called for a curfew Wednesday night in fears of retaliatory violence. No curfew was issued.

At a news conference Wednesday evening, Memphis Police Director Cerelyn CJ Davis did not say if police think other shootings under investigation were related to the rappers killing.

Young Dolph was in Memphis doing charity work, including visiting a cancer treatment center and giving away turkeys at a church ahead of Thanksgiving. He had recently performed at a concert at the University of Memphis. The rapper had loyal fans in Memphis, where they admired him for his success and love for the city. Some fans wept as they gathered outside the bakery.

In a letter calling for the curfew Wednesday, Memphis City Council member JB Smiley called the shooting an act of senseless gun violence.

We lost a very talented Memphian and star known all across this country, wrote Smiley, a Democrat who is running for Tennessee governor. I am growing tired of issuing statements that speak to or highlight crime in our communities.
