Darren Smart, an 18-year-old Black male from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was shot to death on a Thursday evening around 7:30 p.m. while sitting outside a friend’s house in the 4700 block of Bradley Street, just off Winbourne Avenue. Investigators said two men on bicycles rode past the group and opened fire; police described the attack as targeted rather than random. Authorities also linked the shooting to an altercation the week before, a connection Darren’s family disputed.

Darren was a senior at Istrouma High School and was expecting a son in December, whom he planned to name Jace. His family said he enjoyed the outdoors, hunting and fishing, and appealed for anyone who saw the two men on bicycles or who knew the shooters to come forward so they could have answers.

Does anyone in North Baton Rouge remember seeing two men on bicycles in that neighborhood that evening or have other information that could help investigators?
