Eli McGee was a 29-year-old Black man who was shot and killed at his home on Shay Avenue in Baton Rouge in January 2011. Late on a Tuesday night, shortly before 11 p.m., two men knocked and, after McGee answered, an argument broke out. The confrontation escalated and one of the men shot McGee in the stomach. Both suspects fled the scene.

McGee was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and died from the gunshot wound the next morning. The Baton Rouge Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but as of January 2011 the two shooters had not been identified and no arrests had been made. Anyone with information was asked to contact the Baton Rouge Police at 389-4869 or Crime Stoppers at 344-STOP.

Does anyone have information about that night or remember seeing suspicious activity near Shay Avenue in January 2011?
