A routine afternoon errand turned deadly in Baton Rouge on June 23, 2022. Richard Demond Marquise Eackels Sr., 27, was at the vacuum area of Benny’s Express Car Wash on Perkins Road with two young children and another adult when a vehicle with 19-year-old Kamaryion Glasper pulled up beside him. Eackels was fatally wounded and died at the scene; the two children in his car were unharmed. The adult passenger with Eackels reportedly fled on foot and was being sought by police for questioning.

Glasper sustained a minor injury, was treated at a local hospital, and was arrested by Baton Rouge Police Homicide Detectives. He was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on first-degree murder and three counts of attempted first-degree murder. The investigation remained ongoing as authorities worked to establish the full sequence of events and motive.

Did anyone witness activity at Benny’s Express Car Wash that afternoon or have information about the other passenger who fled the scene?
