Keisha Parker, 36 and pregnant, was killed along with her unborn child in a shooting on a Sunday night in April 2023 in Baton Rouge. She had been at a party on North Carrollton Avenue and was leaving to pick someone up when gunfire struck her. Authorities say she was not believed to be the intended target and may have been mistaken for a person who had been firing a gun into the air near the gathering.

Three 19-year-old men were arrested in connection with the deaths and charged with second-degree murder and first-degree feticide: Marques Porch, Gregory Parker, and Derrick Curry. One of the suspects, Marques Porch, had worked for the West Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office earlier as a full-time jail corrections deputy and returned briefly in a part-time transportation role; his employment ended after the arrest.

Anyone who was at the party or in that neighborhood on the night in April 2023 and has information is asked to come forward.
