On Monday, March 31, the Atlanta police department released audio of the 911 call. Furthermore, the call totaled over 10 minutes and featured a woman requesting police and EMS assistance. To note, the woman identified herself as the “neighborhood watch.”
“There was literally a shooting,” she said. “…There is literally a whole domestic dispute going on. There’s like seven guys that live in this house… these guys are like selling drugs in and out of the house… The situation that’s going on right now, this girl doesn’t have on any clothes — they threw her outside [and] he was fighting the girl… I’m not sure what they were fighting over…”
As the call continued, the woman alleged that another person accompanying the girl came to the residence, and a shooting broke out and was currently in progress.
“I believe the girl was hurt — she was, like, bleeding profusely — blood everywhere,” the caller alleged.
Furthermore, the caller insisted that the fight involved one man with a “caramel complexion and a low haircut” from the residence. Ultimately, the 911 call concluded with the caller becoming frustrated with dispatchers’ repeated questions along with their request for an EMS from Grady Memorial Hospital.
Police Recently Commented On The Claims Of The 911 Caller
To note, on Saturday, March 29, Atlanta police held a press conference to discuss the incident and the subsequent death with the press.
“There was a 911 call of a dispute with shots fired and a female being drug back into the residence,” an officer shared. “When officers arrived, a male initially opened the door -[and] closed the door on the officers’ face without communicating completely. That’s when the officers established a perimeter, and the two males fled. Why they fled? Obviously, we can’t speak for them.”
Furthermore, the officer noted that police were unable to locate the woman allegedly involved in the dispute.
“We have not been able to substantiate any of that,” the officer noted while speaking about the claims of an alleged woman being harmed at the residence. “Which is also a part of our investigation.”
