The woman fatally shot at a bowling alley in Atlanta has been identified as 31-year-old LaKevia Jackson, the mother of at least one of rapper Young Thug’s six children.
Police arrived at the Metro Fun Center just before 11 pm on Thursday after receiving reports of a shooting incident.

Investigation revealed that Jackson was fatally shot as she was leaving the center. The victim was reportedly involved in a heated argument with a man over a bowling ball. The man then waited in the parking lot to shoot her.
“I didn’t know that was going to be the last time I talked to my baby. I could hear her over the phone crying and screaming then her best friend said she’s not breathing!” Jackson’s mother, Sherina Jackson, told CBS46.

She said that her daughter and the rapper met before the rapper was famous. They were both reportedly living in the same apartment complex.
The rapper is yet to make an official statement on the incident.

“This is truly an atrocity. A young lady has lost her life over a bowling ball.

Ralph Woolfolk said.
