A judge on Monday reset the trial date for a man charged with killing rapper Young Dolph in a daytime shooting ambush at a cookie shop in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. Shelby County Judge Jennifer J. Mitchell set a Sept. 23 trial date for Justin Johnson, 26. Mitchell ruled in February that the trial jury will come from outside of Memphis because of intense media coverage of the 36-year-old rapper's slaying, which shocked Memphis and the entertainment world.
