Ryan Kirby Marlow, 37, was shot and killed in the pre-dawn hours of March 19, 2022, near the intersection of Cedarlane Avenue and Silverest Avenue in Baton Rouge. Officers who responded at about 3:55 a.m. found Marlow lying in the roadway of the street where he lived; he had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the shooting followed a planned meeting to exchange a car title. A witness reported Marlow had driven to meet 32-year-old Bobby Earl, who was waiting in his vehicle; a brief verbal altercation reportedly escalated and Earl allegedly fired multiple shots, then fled. Law enforcement located and arrested Bobby Earl with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force; he was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison and faces charges of Second Degree Murder and Illegal Use of a Weapon or Dangerous Instrumentalities.
