Young Scooter
White Doves Released at Atlanta Funeral
Published
Emotions ran high as a funeral for rapper Young Scooter was held today — just over a week after his tragic death on his 39th birthday.
The funeral went down Monday at Atlanta’s Saint Philip AME Church … with photos and clips showing Scooter’s casket carried out by heartbroken loved ones — all while other family and friends looked visibly shaken, saying their final goodbyes. He’ll be buried in his hometown of Walterboro, South Carolina.
Monday’s service was marked as a celebration of his life — white doves were released into the sky after the ceremony, symbolizing peace, hope, and freedom.
Young Scooter’s death occurred after a 911 caller claimed a naked woman was being attacked and dragged back inside a home … a house where Scooter was inside.
In what appears to be a case of “swatting,” Atlanta cops say they rushed to the scene, but none of the reported details checked out. During the chaos, Scooter — legal name Kenneth Edward Rashaad Bailey — ended up running out the back door, and seriously tearing an artery in his right thigh on a fence — an injury that sadly turned out to be fatal.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner released Young Scooter’s autopsy results, listing his death as an “accident.” He died on March 28 … his 39th birthday.
The woman who made the call, Demetria Spence — a reality star contestant on the Zeus Network series “Baddies” — was arrested and charged with making a bogus emergency call. She was released on $7,500 bond.
