Emmanuel Oneal Barnes was 36 when he was shot on September 16, 2022, in the 100 block of Fitzgerald Street in Lafayette, Louisiana. Police found Barnes with a gunshot wound and he was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.

Within a day of the shooting, investigators identified and arrested 17-year-old Damarcus Skipper in connection with the killing. Skipper was charged with second-degree murder and a grand jury returned an indictment in November 2022; he pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The matter proceeded to trial, which began in October 2023. Who has information about Barnes, his movements that night, or the events on Fitzgerald Street that could help clarify what happened?
