The hip-hop world launched tribute after tribute following the tragic loss of Young Scooter, who passed away late last month. Now, according to AllHipHop and 11Alive, plans are in place to expand on these celebrations of life via a balloon release event in his home city of Atlanta. The tribute will reportedly take place at 6PM local time today (April 3) at Bessie Branham Park on Delano Drive. Mourners are reportedly encouraged to attend with red, blue, or white balloons to honor the late rapper. This follows many other MCs such as Future, Playboi Carti, and Young Thug paying their respects to him on social media.
Also, many other developments in the loss of Young Scooter emerged last week, so this tribute event carries a particular weight behind it. Authorities arrested Demi Blanco, a cast member on Zeus Network's Baddies, for allegedly making a fake 911 call that led to police responding in the Lakewood Heights neighborhood on Scooter's birthday. She received a $7,500 bond, although her motive for the call and her alleged connection to his death remains unclear at press time, so we will see if more investigation leads to a big update.

Young Scooter Cause Of Death
As for the cause of death, the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office revealed Young Scooter died due to an injured thigh. When police responded to the fake 911 call, he reportedly fled the scene and jumped over various wooden fences. Apparently, a piece of wood punctured Scooter's right thigh and led to significant blood loss. Atlanta police previously denied the allegation that a bullet wound was what took his life, and this autopsy report backs that up. Still, many people expressed their skepticism over these circumstances. While the official report clears the air, there are still many vague questions that keep fans critical.
For example, Young Thug questioned Young Scooter's passing, as he seemed to suggest he actually died due to a gunshot wound. There are more important questions to answer, though, such as the motive of the 911 call and the exact circumstances around police's involvement and what he and others were doing at the time. Hopefully this balloon release provides at least some closure for pained loved ones.
