A 21-year-old man, Darrius Malik Ross, was shot and killed on May 10, 2022, at the Pretty Creek Apartments in Clinton, Louisiana. Ross was found beside his vehicle after a confrontation with 37-year-old Ron Thompson; Ross was struck multiple times and died at the scene. Thompson was also wounded in the incident, suffering a gunshot wound to his foot and was treated at a hospital.

Police say the shooting followed a heated argument tied to an ongoing dispute between Ross and Thompson’s family. Investigators from the Clinton Police Department and the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested and booked Ron Thompson on one count of second-degree murder and one count of aggravated assault with a firearm; bond was set at $405,000. The weapon used was not recovered.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember the argument that morning or who saw vehicles entering or leaving the complex?
