<p>Authorities are offering a $15,000 reward for Justin&#8217;s capture. In addition, the U.S. Marshals are offering up to $10,000, MPD and Crime Stoppers are also offering up to $2,500 for his arrest. Justin has also been added to TBI&#8217;s &#8220;Most Wanted&#8221; list. It looks like this isn&#8217;t his first run-in with the law. <a href="https://www.localmemphis.com/article/news/local/teen-arraigned-on-charges-in-shooting-at-billy-hardwicks-all-star-lanes/522-64cdf9af-f173-43cf-8198-c4db6cf81bd0">ABC 24</a> reports that in February 2017, the rapper was charged for a shooting that took place on January 31st at Billy Hardwick&#8217;s All-Star Lanes in east Memphis.</p>
<p>Before the shots rang out, a large group started fighting in the venue&#8217;s lobby. Justin, who was 18-year-old at the time left, retrieved a gun from a car in the parking lot and fired several times into the bowling alley from the front door. Justin fled the scene in a silver 4-door sedan. Once apprehended, the rapper was held on a $250,000 bond.</p>
<p>As the news continued to spread about the search for Justin, people flocked to his social media and began flooding his comments. Several wrote, &#8220;FBI looking for you.&#8221; In addition, people went back to his photo from November 2021 and pointed out he had a Paper Route Empire (PRE) emblem on his belt.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re not aware, PRE is Dolph&#8217;s record label. One commenter alleged that Justin stole the emblem and claimed he posted this picture before Dolph died. We can&#8217;t confirm the allegations, but we will keep ya&#8217;ll updated as more info becomes available!</p>
