Twenty-year-old Terrian Benn of New Orleans was found dead inside a vehicle left at the intersection of Highland Road and Terrace Avenue in Baton Rouge on Thursday, July 28, 2022. A state trooper who stopped for what was reported as a stalled car discovered Benn’s body; investigators determined she had been shot multiple times and classified the death as a homicide.

Baton Rouge and New Orleans detectives announced they were coordinating after saying they suspected a connection between Benn’s killing and a separate shooting earlier that same day in New Orleans. No arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly released, and the motive and exact sequence of events leading to her death have not been disclosed.

If anyone has information about Terrian Benn, the vehicle, or events around July 28, 2022, please come forward to investigators.
