Officers said Demetria Spence, 31, has been charged with transmitting a false public alarm and was taken to the Fulton County Jail on Tuesday.

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Police Department arrested a woman who they said was wanted for her involvement in making a false 911 call before the events that led up to rapper Young Scooter’s death.

Officers said Demetria Spence, 31, has been charged with transmitting a false public alarm and was taken to the Fulton County Jail on Tuesday. Officers released the 911 call Monday related to the death of Young Scooter, whose real name is Kenneth Bailey.

The 39-year-old died Friday, March 28, after injuries to his leg that caused serious bleeding, while APD said he ran from officers who responded to a home in Lakewood Heights.

Officers responded to William Nye Drive SE about a dispute involving a weapon and reports of a woman being dragged into a home. However, Atlanta Police say they never confirmed those reports once on scene. 

In the 911 call, the caller claimed there were men with guns at the house and a naked woman who tried to escape before being dragged back into the house. 


“He was fighting the girl, he literally fought the girl,” she said. “I’m not sure what they were fighting over, if they were fighting over drugs—that’s what it sounded like. It sounded like they were fighting over drugs, then they started shooting.”

The dispatcher asked for more details about the reported gunfire.

“How many shots were fired?” they asked.

“I would say three, three shots,” the caller responded.

The caller also alleged that a child may be involved, mentioning a baby in the woman’s hands.

The 911 call is what sent police to the William Nye Drive residence. Officers knocked on the door, but a man briefly opened it before shutting it again, according to Atlanta Police Homicide Commander Lt. Andrew Smith. 

Smith said they established a perimeter and that two men ran out of the back of the home. While one returned, police said the other jumped two fences. He was later identified by the medical examiner’s office as Bailey.

“When officers located him on the other side of the fence, he appeared to have suffered an injury to his leg. Officers rendered aid, and he was transported to Grady Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased,” Smith said. 

During the same news conference, Smith reiterated that no shots were fired by police during this incident. He also mentioned that police not substantiate the claims in the 911 call about a woman there at the scene. 


The investigation into the incident continues. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office said on Monday an autopsy revealed Bailey “injured himself on organic (wooden) fencing material or woody debris” after he jumped at least one fence, ruling the manner of his death an accident.

Bailey was a prominent figure in Atlanta’s hip-hop scene, known for collaborations with artists like Future and Gucci Mane. He gained recognition with his 2012 mixtape “Street Lottery” and the single “Colombia.” Throughout his career, he released numerous mixtapes and worked with various artists, including Lil Wayne, Migos, and Rick Ross.
