The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office announced on Tuesday that Young Scooter, an Atlanta musician, had died after cutting his right knee on a sturdy fence, which had “marked” body damage.
The medical auditor stated that” this wound was not a gun wound.”
Researchers are still looking into the rapper’s death, who they claim was the rapper’s death after falling while fleeing from officers responding to a 911 call. According to the M. E.’s business, his death has been declared an injury.
The Atlanta Police Department made more inquiries for authorities Monday after details were released about what transpired after officials arrived at a house in east Atlanta on Friday afternoon.
Law enforcement is looking into who made the 911 telephone that led to the arrest of William Nye Drive residents. And police claim they are still unsure as to why the singer fled the home when another man retreated within.
The rapper’s real-name Kenneth Bailey’s relatives, who is currently in debt, even needs clarifications. Bailey passed away on his 39th holiday.
His family and friends are” completely heartbroken” by his loss, according to Bailey’s writer, Abesi Manyando, who is awaiting “more knowledge to understand the circumstances.”
According to Lt. Andrew Smith, captain of the APD killing system, a 911 caller reported a person being dragged from a house and assaulted, leading to the dispatch of soldiers to the house.
The caller, a woman who claimed to be a member of a neighborhood watch group, informed the dispatcher that a naked woman was being “beaten bloody” by a man outside a house. Additionally, the caller claimed she overheard three gunshots.
The woman claimed that “he’s really hitting her and there’s a child involved.” ” The house has seven guys in it, and they all have weapons.”
However, after the police released the 911 call’s audio, they requested assistance in finding the caller, who might not have been present to witness the events unfold.
According to the conversation that took place during the call, it turns out the call was taken from DeKalb County and transferred to a Fulton County operator. According to a police spokesperson, the caller used an” SOS” phone or a cellphone that is no longer connected to a cell network. The woman’s phone number, which she provided to the 911 operator, has been unavailable for investigation.
Police can’t simply call the person back to identify them because” SOS” phones are not on a network. The phones can make emergency calls, but they are unable to receive or make connections to other devices.
At a news conference on Friday night, Smith claimed that the officers who came to the house knocked on the door. According to police, a man opened the door and then immediately shut it, and two men were then seen running away from the back of the house.
According to police, one of the men, who has not been identified, left the house. However, according to Smith, the other man, later identified as Bailey, ran until he fell.
According to police, Bailey apparently injured his leg by jumping two fences in a chase against officers. According to the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office, Bailey was given a tourniquet and transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he was later declared deceased at 6:41 p.m.
On Saturday, an autopsy was performed. According to investigators, the final report could take up to 90 days to be completed.
According to Smith, no officers fired at Bailey. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was informed by the GBI, which is also looking into the incident, that the incident wasn’t an officer-involved shooting.
Smith claimed that the officers on the scene did not cause the injuries that were sustained. ” It was when the man was fleeing.”
Because Bailey was in police custody at the time of his death, the APD requested that the GBI conduct an investigation.
Despite the 911 caller’s claims that there had been gunfire, there was no evidence of anyone being shot at the residence, according to Smith. Additionally, according to the 911 caller, an injured woman was not easily located by the police.
According to police, no arrests have been made in the case. Investigators say they are hopeful for more details, including the 911 caller’s identity.
One of the first artists to sign with Future’s Freebandz label was Bailey, who was raised in Atlanta’s Kirkwood neighborhood. He gained popularity in the mixtape industry in the 2010s, most recently with his 2013 release” Street Lottery.” His most recent major release,” Fast Lane Juugin,” was in 2024.
Young Scooter was more than just a hip-hop artist, according to the legend. Manyando shared with the AJC via text that he had been a fantastic father and mentor to many Atlanta youths interested in sports and music. ” Scooter was their support system and advocate. He consistently urged young people to pursue their dreams regardless of circumstances.
Bailey’s funeral arrangements are still pending.
Manyando wrote,” The family is appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from the city and throughout the country.” They are requesting privacy and prayers at this time as they grieve.
