The performer allegedly fled from police officers and sustained a gruesome leg injury in the process, before dying at a local hospital later that night. Young Scooter had turned 39 on the same day he later died.



On Monday, the Atlanta Police Department released audio of a woman's 911 call in which she claimed to have seen a nude woman engaged in a fight related to drugs who was dragged from a house. The woman who is heard on the 911 call alleged that the woman was bleeding severely from a head wound sustained in the fight, and she urged police to arrive as quickly as possible. The call — which police say was a complete fabrication — appears to be an instance of 'swatting,' in which someone falsely reports a crime to police in hopes of getting them to respond in ways that are embarrassing at best to the victims and potentially deadly at worst.

It's unclear if a swat team or regular police officers responded to the call, but Young Scooter (real name: Kenneth Bailey) appears to have died while fleeing from police who responded to the scene as a result of the 911 call.
