On the morning of September 7, 2011, Robie Knight, a 28-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on the 2400 block of Louisiana Avenue in Baton Rouge. The Baton Rouge Police Department received a call shortly before 3:30 a.m.; officers who arrived found Mr. Knight lying in the roadway with fatal gunshot wounds.

Investigators worked to piece together what happened but did not release a motive, and no suspects were identified publicly in the days after the shooting. As of September 2011, no arrests had been made and the killing remained unsolved.

If anyone was in that area in the pre-dawn hours of September 7, 2011, or has information about Robie Knight’s movements that night, please come forward.
