Young Scooter Dies On 39th Birthday, Hip-Hop Community Reacts
Tragedy struck the Atlanta Hip-Hop scene as rapper Young Scooter tragically died on his 39th birthday reportedly following a confrontation with Atlanta police. The 'Jugg King' artist, neé Kenneth Bailey, allegedly attempted to flee on foot when officers responded to reports of gunfire and alleged abuse against a woman on Friday (March 28). Authorities stated that Scooter injured his leg while attempting to jump a fence. He was later transported to Grady Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The exact cause of death remains undisclosed, pending an autopsy conducted on Saturday (March 29), but during a press conference, Lieutenant Andrew Smith provided details on the incident. 'Once officers arrived, they knocked on the door. A male opened the door and immediately shut the door on the officers. During [the officers'] process of [then] establishing the perimeter, two males fled out of the rear of the house,' he said. He further explained, 'One male returned back into the house. The other male jumped two fences as he was fleeing. When officers located him on the other side of the fence, he appeared to have suffered an injury to his leg. Officers rendered aid, and he was transported to Grady Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.' He also clarified that Scooter's injury 'was sustained not via the officers on scene' but occurred while he 'was fleeing.'
