Ronald Vernon LeDuff Jr., 25, was shot dead outside his home on West Chalfont Street in Baton Rouge on May 14, 2022 after a dispute with a neighbor. The neighbor, 34-year-old Henry Williams III, confronted LeDuff while wearing a ski mask and a bulletproof vest and shot him multiple times during the daytime incident.

After the shooting Williams barricaded himself inside his residence, leading to a prolonged standoff with the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office. SWAT and other specialized units responded; during the standoff Williams shot at deputies and wounded two of them before being taken into custody. Williams was later indicted on second-degree murder and attempted murder charges.

Video evidence shown at trial reportedly captured Williams shooting LeDuff in the back seven times. Does anyone in the Baton Rouge area remember the neighborhood or have information about the days leading up to this confrontation?
