Rapper Young Scooter, whose real name was Kenneth Edward Bailey, reportedly died on his 39th birthday while attempting to evade police.

The Atlanta-based hip-hop artist sustained a serious leg injury after jumping over a fence during the incident. On March 28, 2025, around 5:23 PM, police responded to reports of a dispute and possible gunfire at 273 William Nye Drive SE. Upon arrival, officers tried to engage with a male who came out of the residence, but he fled immediately.

After a short foot chase, officers found the individual suffering from a significant leg injury.

During this encounter, none of the Atlanta Police officers fired their weapons. Officers provided assistance by applying a tourniquet, and he was subsequently taken to the hospital for further treatment.

Sadly, medical personnel later informed the officers that the male succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.

Investigators from both the Homicide Unit and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) have been sent to the scene to look into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The investigation is still ongoing.
