In a shocking turn of events, Demetrius Spence, a 31-year-old woman, has been arrested for her involvement in the tragic death of rapper Young Scooter, whose real name is unknown. Spence was taken into custody by the Atlanta Police Department on April 1, 2025, after allegations surfaced that she made a false 911 call, which led to a series of events culminating in the rapper’s death.
The incident occurred on March 28, 2025, when Young Scooter was reportedly at a gathering with friends. According to sources, Spence, who was dating a member of Young Scooter’s entourage, made the false emergency call out of jealousy, claiming that there was an ongoing violent situation at the location. In her call, she fabricated a chaotic scene involving an assault, gunfire, and even a child in danger. This prompted police to respond, leading to Young Scooter attempting to escape from the situation, ultimately resulting in a fatal injury when he fell and ruptured an artery.
Spence’s motivations for the false call have sparked outrage online, with many questioning her actions. Critics have described her behavior as reckless and deeply irresponsible. The 911 call was not only deceptive but also escalated a situation that led to a tragic loss of life. Following public outcry and pressure on the Atlanta Police Department for swift action, Spence was arrested and charged with transmitting a false public alarm. This charge is classified as a misdemeanor; however, because serious bodily harm or death resulted from her call, it has escalated to a felony charge.
Under Georgia law, if someone is convicted of making a false emergency request that leads to serious consequences, they may face imprisonment for a minimum of one year and up to ten years, along with a fine. As the case unfolds, Spence could potentially face up to a decade in prison if convicted.
In a controversial move, Spence took to Instagram Live to defend herself shortly after the incident, where she admitted to making the 911 call but attempted to justify her actions by claiming she was in a violent situation herself. This social media appearance has drawn even more scrutiny, as many argue that her statements could further implicate her in the events leading to Young Scooter’s death.
The case has sparked a broader conversation about accountability and the consequences of false emergency calls. Many in the community are calling for justice for Young Scooter, who was a father and a prominent figure in Atlanta’s music scene. As the investigation continues, the public is left to grapple with the implications of Spence’s actions and the tragic outcome that followed.
The Atlanta Police Department is expected to release further details as the case progresses, and public interest remains high regarding the criminal proceedings against Spence. The outcome of this case could serve as a precedent for similar situations in the future, highlighting the serious implications of false emergency reporting.
