911 Call Raises Questions About Young Scooter’s Death
As the Atlanta Hip-Hop community continues to mourn the tragic loss of rapper Young Scooter this past Friday (March 28), authorities are now looking into the suspicious 911 call that prompted Atlanta Police to arrive at the house where the chase began.

As reported by TMZ, Atlanta Police released the 911 audio that summoned them to the 200 block of William Nye Drive on Atlanta’s Southeast side. The unnamed female caller made several disturbing claims about what she says she observed at the residence.
The caller told authorities that she saw a naked woman being dragged out of the house in a dispute over drugs.
More from TMZ:
The caller – claiming to be “the neighborhood watch” – added she had long suspected the residence was a staging ground for either a drug-dealing or prostitution ring, and urged officers to hurry because the woman was “bleeding profusely” from her head while being held hostage.
There was also supposedly a child in danger – but when Atlanta police rushed the scene, they encountered NONE OF THAT … only someone who slammed the door in officers’ faces when they approached the front.
It was then that Scooter, likely unaware of the 911 call, fled from the back of the house with another man. Scooter, real name Kenneth Bailey, hopped two fences and likely tore a femoral artery. Cops rendered aid at the scene, but Scooter would later succumb to his injuries.
According to additional reporting by FOX 5 Atlanta, the Fulton County Medical Examiner is working to determine the official cause of death.
Dr. Cecil Bennett of Newnan Family Medicine said leg injuries that impact major arteries could quickly become fatal.
“One can bleed out in seconds from a laceration to a femoral artery. The femoral artery is under pressure, which means that once it’s cut, it’s not just a matter of bleeding, but there’s a pulse. So there’s an increased loss of blood because of the pulse of the femoral artery.
“Running just makes things worse. A high heart rate makes things worse.”
As the medical examiner continues to work on the autopsy, Atlanta Police is now looking to identify the woman behind the 911 call.
Anyone with information on this case can submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS (8477), online at StopCrimeATL.org or by texting CSGA and the tip to CRIMES (738477).
