Three days before his scheduled high school graduation, 18-year-old Bryant Jr. Lee was shot in the head while leaving a graduation party in his North Baton Rouge neighborhood on the night of Saturday, May 13, 2017. A student-athlete with a 3.5 GPA who planned to study engineering at Southern University, Lee had been struck in a previous drive-by shooting the prior November, when he was shot in the leg.

Police say roughly 150 people attended the party, but investigators were hindered by a lack of cooperation from witnesses. Family and friends described Lee as an innocent bystander caught in crossfire and urged the community to come forward. There has been no public announcement of an arrest or identified suspect.

If anyone was at that party or remembers seeing something that night, please share information with the Baton Rouge Police Department.
