Delta Hunt, 30, was fatally shot and found with critical gunshot wounds on June 13, 2022, in the 10000 block of Avenue L near the Bayou Ridge Apartments in Baton Rouge. Emergency crews took him to a nearby hospital, where he later died. Baton Rouge Police Department homicide detectives investigated the case over the following year.

In July 2023, authorities arrested 26-year-old Deondrae Green on charges including second-degree murder, illegal use of a weapon, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in connection with Hunt’s death. Investigators said the shooting grew out of a dispute between acquaintances. In July 2025, a second arrest was announced: 23-year-old Demetris Parker faced similar charges. Arrest paperwork states the fatal confrontation followed an argument in which Hunt allegedly confronted Parker and Green about a separate shooting in Jackson and about claims Hunt had posted on social media.
