On the evening of Friday, April 29, 2022, a burst of gunfire on the 1700 block of Boulevard de Province in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, left 23-year-old Jaylon Carlin dead from fatal gunshot wounds. The shooting occurred around 7:50 p.m.; Ryan Priest, 38, was also killed and a third man suffered critical injuries and was taken to a local hospital. Carlin, a Black native of Baton Rouge who lived not far from the scene, was described by family as a victim of senseless violence.

Investigators have treated the case as part of a violent period in the city and have considered whether the two men may have been killed after witnessing an earlier shooting that day on North Harrels Ferry Road. By August 2022 police had not made any arrests; an aunt of Ryan Priest said there was a potential suspect but that authorities lacked sufficient information to arrest anyone. The investigation remains open.

If anyone saw or heard anything on Boulevard de Province the evening of April 29, 2022, or has information about the earlier shooting on North Harrels Ferry Road, please share what you know with investigators.
