LaTevin Charles Tevin Bankston was 20 when he was shot dead after a brief stop at a Fuel Zone gas station in Baton Rouge on the evening of Friday, April 22, 2011. He had been on the phone with his mother shortly before 10 p.m., having finished his workday and was heading home. Inside the store he and two friends spoke with an unidentified Black woman who left in a blue vehicle occupied by a Black man.

When Bankston and his friends returned to their car, the male in the blue vehicle opened fire with a high-powered rifle. Bankston was struck in the head; his two friends were uninjured and drove him to Our Lady of the Lake hospital. He was removed from life support and pronounced dead at 1:47 p.m. on April 23, 2011. Police released a surveillance image of the woman seen in the store and say five to seven people were in the store plus others in the parking lot, but no one has come forward and no arrests have been announced.

If anyone was at the Fuel Zone that night or recognizes the woman or the blue vehicle, please share what you know.
