Young Scooter’s Home Was “Swatted” Before He Passed Away
Written by djfrosty on April 1, 2025
Over the weekend, the Hip-Hop community was shocked when news began circulating that Young Scooter had passed away from a self-inflicted injury during a police chase in Atlanta. While specifics about the encounter were minimal at the time, more information is coming out about what led to the deadly incident.
According to TMZ, Young Scooter seems to be the latest victim of a “swatting” as someone called the police to his residence to disturb the man’s peace, only for it to lead to the man’s death on his 39th birthday. On Monday (March 31st), Atlanta police released audio of the 911 call they received the day of the incident, and in the cal,l a woman who said she was part of the “neighborhood watch” claimed to be witnessing a naked woman on Scooter’s premises being dragged out and fighting over drugs. The caller added that the woman was calling men over to shoot up the place and then stated that the woman was “bleeding profusely” from a head wound while being held hostage.
The caller also said that she always suspected that the residence was used for drug-dealing or prostitution, imploring police to go inspect the premises. That’s when things went awry.
Per TMZ:
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 Young Scooter, likely clueless to the 911 dispatch, fled from the back of the residence with another man … only to tear a femoral artery by jumping a fence as cops gave chase.
Officers never discovered a woman “bleeding profusely” … and Scooter eventually succumbed to his injuries at the Grady Marcus Trauma Center later that night.
No word on whether the police are going to investigate the call and track down the woman who made the call, but fans do want answers as to what prompted that call and how it all went horribly wrong.
