Rapper Young Scooter Dies on 39th Birthday in Atlanta: Report

Young Scooter died Friday night on the rapper's 39th birthday, according to Atlanta Police, who say "the injury was not via the officers on scene."

According to Smith, police responded to a call about a dispute with a weapon at a home and then set up a perimeter outside the house after a man shut the door on officers. During the news conference, Smith denied widespread reports spreading on social media that Scooter had been fatally shot by Atlanta PD officers. He broke out locally with the song “Colombia” in 2012 before joining forces with hip-hop heavyweights Future, Juicy J and Young Thug for “DI$Function” in 2014.
