Police were called to the Metro Fun Center, an entertainment venue with an ice rink, bowling alley and more, shortly before 11 p.m.
And according to investigators, a 31-year-old woman was killed during a party at a business on Metropolitan Parkway in southwest Atlanta.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office identified her as Lakevia Jackson. MTO News has confirmed that Lakevia is one of rapper Young Thug’s babysitters.
MTO News spoke to a person close to the rapper who told us, “LaKevia went to her best friend’s birthday @ bowlingalley, a fight for bowling balls happened after which the suspect was waiting for LaKevia 20 minutes in the parking lot before he shot her while she. had left.”
“This is truly atrocity. A young woman lost her life tonight due to an argument over a bowling ball,” said Lt. Ralph Woolfolk, APD Murder Commandant.
Lieutenant Woolfolk added, “We talk about conflict resolution time and time again, and again this is an escalating dispute over a bowling ball.”
Investigators say they only have one male suspect at this point, and according to Lieutenant Woolfolk, police know who he is.
“We will find out who is responsible. You know who you are. Go ahead and submit yourself. We assure you that we will arrest you,” he told the unnamed suspect.
