In February 2022, Joshua Taylor was named as a person of interest in the Young Dolph murder case. According to reports, he was wanted on a number of other charges, including theft of property between $10,000-$60,000 and possession of a prohibited weapon.

Taylor was reportedly friends with Justin Johnson, one of the two alleged shooters who have been charged in Dolph’s killing. Investigators initially wanted to know if Taylor knew where Johnson was on the day of Dolph’s killing or if he knew anything about the murder. Police never charged Taylor in the killing and he had not been mentioned in the case.
