Woman Arrested For Fake 911 Call Leading To Young Scooter's Death!

Honey trap sets up Young Scooter.

Atlanta Police announced the arrest of a woman who made a false 911 call that led them to a fatal encounter with rapper Young Scooter.

Young Scooter died on his birthday on March 28.

Kenneth Edward Rashaad Bailey was 39 years old.

Scooter was born in Walterboro, South Carolina. When he was nine, his family moved to the Kirkwood Community (also known as "Lil Mexico") of Atlanta, Georgia. In 2008, after he was charged with drug trafficking, he decided to start pursuing a career in music. Scooter was a childhood friend with fellow Atlanta rapper Future.

While his first mixtape Plug Talkin didn't receive much attention, with his second release Finessin and Flexin' he made a name for himself, already collaborating with Future.

Scooter's real breakthrough came in January 2013, when he released his mixtape Street Lottery. SPIN named it "Rap release of the week" and XXL featured it on its "Best mixtapes of January" list. Eric Diep of XXL called Scooter "one of the hottest street rappers coming out of Atlanta" and wrote that tracks like the single "Colombia" and "Street Lottery" (featuring Bun B) are "proof of his undeniable talent". The tape was also a viral success gaining over 100,000 downloads on DatPiff.

Scooter apparently injured himself on a fence and led to blood loss resulting in cardiac arrest.

Police were dispatched to the 200 block of William Nye Drive in southeast Atlanta on Friday evening after reports of gunfire and a woman being dragged into a residence.

"When officers arrived, they knocked on the door and a male opened the door and immediately shut the door on the officers," said Lt. Andrew Smith, commander of Atlanta’s homicide unit.

Police then set up a perimeter around the home.

As officers surrounded the area, they said two men fled from the back of the residence. 

One of them returned to the house, they said. The other man jumped two fences before being found injured nearby.

Rapper Young Scooter was later identified as the man who ran off. 

Scooter made the Street Lottery.

Recordings of the call obtained by FOX 5 described a woman bleeding, a child present, and shots fired. "He's beating her bloody. He's dragged her back in the house," the caller said.

The woman described herself as part of a neighborhood watch. She claimed the house had several armed men inside it and was involved in potential drug activity and possible sex trafficking. "There was literally a shooting… literally the neighbors next door, the house of the address that I just gave you, the 273," the caller told a 911 dispatcher. "There is literally a whole domestic dispute going on. There’s like seven guys that live in this house."

The woman described a chaotic and dangerous situation, alleging that the men were armed and possibly selling drugs from the home. She said a woman — described as a light-skinned female with black hair, approximately 5-foot-3 and 130 pounds — had been physically assaulted and forced back into the house. "She ran outside naked, and then he was fighting her outside," the caller said. "She tried to get away. He dragged her back in the house… she's being held hostage."

The caller added that the victim was bleeding profusely, particularly from her head, and that a child may have been present during the incident. "She has a baby," the woman said. "This situation is really serious, and he’s punching her. If you guys don’t get here, she’s going to be really hurt."

Gunshots were reportedly heard—"three shots," according to the caller.

The woman reporting the incident was not at the scene. "They're definitely doing illegal stuff over there and it’s disturbing the area," she told 911. "You guys need to hurry and get here before she... doesn’t make it."

Young Scooter's family issued the following statement through their publicist:

"We are completely devastated by the loss of Kenneth "Young Scooter" Bailey and are currently still waiting for more information to understand the circumstance. 

Young Scooter was more than just a hip hop artist he was a phenomenal father and mentor to a lot of Atlanta youth pursuing both sports and music. Scooter was their advocate and support system. He always encouraged his children and the youth to pursue their dreams no matter what.  

The family is grateful for the outpouring of support and love from the city and all over the country. At this time, they are requesting privacy and prayers as they grieve and wait for answers."

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
