Atlanta police arrested a woman who placed a 911 call that led to the death of aspiring rapper Kenneth Edward Bailey, aka Young Scooter.
Bailey, 39, died on Friday, March 28, after suffering a serious leg injury while running from a massive SWAT team response to the 911 call.
Demetria Spence, 31, was arrested a day after she claimed she was a victim in the case. Police say Spence, aka Demi Blanco, placed a Swatting call that led to Bailey’s death.
Spence was booked into the Fulton County Jail on Tuesday. She is charged with transmitting a false public alarm.
911 audio, obtained by FOX 5, described a woman bleeding and being beaten outside a house in which a child was present, and shots fired. “He’s beating her bloody. He’s dragging her back in the house,” the caller said.
The woman identified herself as the “neighborhood watch”, but her call was transferred to the Atlanta 911 center from another county.
Police in Atlanta are trying to identify the woman who made a 911 call linked to the incident that led to rapper Young Scooter's death.

Officers responded to a home on the 200 block of William Nye Drive in southeast Atlanta, and knocked on the front door of the residence. A man opened the door and quickly slammed it shut.
While police established a perimeter outside the house, two men fled out the back door of the home and jumped over 2 fences.
One man returned to the house, but Bailey suffered a serious injury to his leg while jumping over a wooden fence.
Police found him bleeding profusely from his leg and rushed him to Grady hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Rumors spread online that Bailey died during a shootout with Atlanta police.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office released the preliminary cause of death for Bailey. The report stated he died from a serious leg wound, not a gunshot.
On Tuesday, Spence claimed she was the victim being beaten. “I was physically abused. So I called to protect myself,” Spence said.
“In the narrative it looks like I was trying to set this man up,” Spence said. “I never had any intentions to get anybody hurt. I was the one that was getting hurt.”
