Mother of One of Young Thug’s Children Killed After Bowling Alley Dispute

LaKevia Jackson, a 31-year-old woman who has a son with Young Thug, was shot and killed at a bowling alley in Atlanta on Thursday, March 17.

Per a preliminary report from the Atlanta Police Department, officers responded to an incident at the Metro Fun Center at around 10:50 p.m. after receiving reports that a woman had been shot. Jackson was found dead at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds. 

Detectives are still investigating the crime, but it’s believed that the incident began with a dispute over a bowling ball and escalated to gunfire. A suspect in the shooting has not been identified. 

Representatives for Young Thug did not immediately return a request for comment. Jackson’s family was not immediately available for comment, either.

Per CBS 46 in Atlanta, Jackson’s mother said her daughter was at the bowling alley to attend her best friend’s birthday, and was apparently shot while leaving the venue. “I didn’t know that was going to be the last time I talked to my baby,” Sherina Jackson said. “I could hear her over the phone crying and screaming then her best friend said she’s not breathing! … I lost my baby all over a bowling ball.”

LaKevia Jackson reportedly has a 14-year-old son with Young Thug (real name Jeffrey Lamar Williams). The pair met when they were living in the same apartment complex before Young Thug’s rap career took off.
