Gunner Williamson, a 22-year-old white man, was found unresponsive in the early hours of a Thursday morning in March 2012 on the 1300 block of Bob Pettit Boulevard in the Tigerland area of Baton Rouge. He had reportedly walked to a nearby store for a soft drink and, a short distance from his apartment, was brutally attacked, beaten, and robbed. First responders arrived about 2:15 a.m. and transported him to a hospital where he was listed in critical condition. He died of his injuries on March 8, 2012. His family chose to donate his organs.

The Baton Rouge Police Department opened an investigation into the robbery and beating and asked the public for information. If anyone knew Gunner, witnessed the attack, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
