Instead, police say they encountered two men running from the area. One of them was Young Scooter, who tried to leap over a wooden fence and severely injured his thigh.

According to the Fulton County Medical Examiner, the wound caused a torn artery and led to fatal blood loss. His death was ruled accidental, with the cause listed as a “penetrating injury to the thigh” caused by wood or debris.

Authorities later arrested Demi Blanco, a reality TV figure from Zeus Network’s “Baddies.” Blanco, whose real name is Demetria Spence, was charged with transmitting a false public alarm.

Police say she made the 911 call that triggered the chain of events leading to Young Scooter’s death.
