The death of rapper Young Scooter, whose real name is Kenneth Bailey, has prompted new inquiries into the events leading up to the shooting incident on Friday.
As per Fox 5 News, a 911 call reporting a violent attack on a woman has drawn the attention of Atlanta police, who are now investigating its legitimacy and the identity of the caller.
The 911 caller described a chaotic scene at the 200 block of William Nye Drive, mentioning a woman bleeding, a child present, and gunfire.
"He's beating her bloody. He's dragged her back in the house," the caller reported. Police responded to the scene but have not confirmed if a victim was found.
Upon arrival, officers knocked on the door of the residence but were met with resistance when a male opened and quickly shut the door.
As police established a perimeter, two men fled from the rear of the house. One returned to the residence while Young Scooter attempted to escape by jumping two fences before being discovered injured.
Serious Leg Injury
Young Scooter suffered a serious leg injury during the incident and was later taken to Grady Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to authorities.
Fox5 quoted a police spokesperson as saying, "He appeared to have suffered an injury to his leg."
Leg injuries are hazardous if they involve significant arteries, Dr. Cecil Bennett of Newnan Family Medicine said.
"One can bleed out in seconds from a laceration to a femoral artery," Bennett explained.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner will determine the official cause of death.
Meanwhile, Atlanta police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the 911 call and are offering a $5,000 reward for information that could lead to identifying the caller.
It was said the call was made from a phone that only calls 911, making it harder to track.
Individuals are urged to call Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS (8477), or you can visit them online at StopCrimeAtl to submit tips.org.
