Back in January, Shundale Barnett was arrested alongside Justin Johnson in connection with the murder of rapper Young Dolph. However, shortly after his arrest, officials in Indiana say Shelby County told them to release Barnett, who was charged with being an accessory to helping Johnson flee Memphis. Barnett also faced charges of criminal attempt to commit first-degree murder and theft of property.
Now, Barnett is wanted by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, as they have no idea of his whereabouts. Clay County Sheriff Paul Harden addressed the situation in a statement.
"On Jan. 11, Mr. Shundale Barnett was brought to the Clay County Jail by the Indiana State Police from an arrest on I-70. He was booked in the Clay County Jail on an outstanding warrant from Shelby County, Tennessee. We held them (Barnett), contacted Shelby County, and held him on their warrant, and we were contacted on Jan. 21, and they told us that they were no longer wanting to come up and pick up Mr. Barnett and that we were to release him at that time." Harden added that they have "no idea" where Barnett is currently.
In addition to Barnett and Johnson, Cornelius Smith was the first person to be charged in connection to Young Dolph's murder. He was charged with auto theft in connection to the Mercedes used as the getaway car in the murder.
