Mother of Young Thug's Child Shot and Killed Over Bowling Alley Dispute
The mother of Young Thug’s child was reportedly shot and killed at an Atlanta bowling alley.
LaKevia Jackson, 31, was attending a birthday party at Metro Fun Center on Thursday evening (March 17) when she was gunned down over what Atlanta police say was a dispute over a bowling ball.
Investigators tell CBS46 that Jackson got into a fight that escalated into gunfire. She was apparently shot as she was leaving the bowling alley after celebrating her best friend’s birthday.

“I didn’t know that was going to be the last time I talked to my baby,” said Sherina Jackson. “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,” she added.
The Atlanta Police Department is closing in on an arrest based on ballistic and surveillance evidence, along with witness testimony, gathered from the scene.
“This is truly an atrocity. A young lady has lost her life over a bowling ball,” said APD Homicide Commander Lt. Ralph Woolfolk. “We know who are so go ahead and turn yourself in.”
