She also lost a $ 1,500 deposit after a simple battery charge last month. There were no details on this fee.

According to a police report, an officer responded to a phone call about shooting at the Intercontinental Buckhead Hotel on December 1. The officer found a 24-year-old man with gunshot wounds to the head, CBS46 said.

The victim was able to answer a few questions and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where her last known condition was critical.

The officer said Ann Marie screamed hysterically and needed to be evacuated from the hotel room. She allegedly told a police officer that “a gun fell from a table in the hotel room and detonated after it struck the victim.”

The report also alleges that Ann Marie repeatedly questioned officials about the victim’s condition, claiming that she and the victim grew up together in Chicago and traveled to Atlanta. No additional details were given.

Ann Marie is best known for her 2018 single “Secret,” which was number 22 on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart.
