Young Scooter died on Friday, his 39th birthday. According to reports, police responded to a disturbance on the 200 block of William Nye Drive in southeast Atlanta due to 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, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

Police said that one of the suspects who fled the scene, identified as Young Scooter, sustained a leg injury while jumping over fences as he attempted to escape. He was later pronounced dead at Grady Hospital. 

“The Atlanta Police Department has not been involved in any shootings tonight and the incident on William Nye—no one was—there was not a shooting at all,” Smith added, addressing conflicting reports that initially suggested that a shooting was involved.

Following his death, popular hip-hop artists including Playboi Carti, Quavo, and ATL Jacob hopped online to pay their respects to him.
