While the Fulton Medical Examiner’s
office has not identified the victim in the crash, the rapper’s brother
and a manager confirmed Carlos “Shawty Lo” Walker, known for the hit
“Dey Know,” died in the accident on the I-285 southbound ramp to Cascade
Road. Shawty Lo was also a member of the Atlanta rap group D4L, who
scored a hit with “Laffy Taffy.”
After initially describing the crash
as a hit-and-run, “it has been confirmed now that it was a single car
accident,” Fulton police spokeswoman Cpl. Maureen Smith said.
The crash happened about 2:20 a.m. and temporarily blocked the ramp to Cascade Road.
According to police, a white Audi
went over a guardrail, hit two trees and burst into flames. The driver,
described as a man about 40 years old, was ejected from the Audi and
pronounced dead on the scene, Smith said. Two women, also in the car,
were injured and taken to Grady Memorial Hospital with
non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Just before the deadly wreck, Shawty
Lo was at the Blue Flame on Harwell Road. He referenced the Atlanta
strip club early Wednesday in several posts on his Instagram page.
Shawty Lo made news in 2013 when the
Oxygen television network announced plans for a special about his
blended family, which includes 11 children with 10 women. After calls
for a boycott and online petitions, the special entitled “All My Babies’
Mamas” was scrapped before it even aired.
So sad.
