Timothy Chapman, 21, was fatally shot in the parking lot of the Broadmoor Plantation Apartments on Florida Boulevard in Baton Rouge on the evening of December 19, 2022. The shooting occurred about 7:15 p.m. during what authorities believe was an attempted robbery. Chapman died at the scene; a passenger who was with him survived.

The Baton Rouge Police Department opened a homicide investigation without a named suspect initially. Detectives later arrested 23-year-old Jeremiah Ezara Hayes in February 2023; arrest documents allege Hayes shot Chapman during the commission of an armed robbery and that Chapman and his companion had been lured to the location by Hayes and another person referred to as CJ. Hayes was booked on a charge of first-degree murder.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, was in the Broadmoor Plantation Apartments parking lot that evening, or has information about CJ or other people involved, please share what is known with investigators.
