On February 25, 2022, 19-year-old Clifton Lindsey was killed in a drive-by shooting near the Mall of Louisiana in Baton Rouge, at Bluebonnet Boulevard and Picardy Avenue. He was a passenger in a vehicle that was struck in an attack that left the car hit by more than 70 bullets. Another passenger, 18-year-old Donte Dorsey, known as TrueBleeda, was also killed. Two other males, aged 19 and 21, were wounded and survived.

Authorities described the attack as targeted and planned, apparently connected to a feud between rival groups. Investigators later arrested 21-year-old Demetriyon Grim after DNA from an abandoned vehicle tied to the assailants was linked to him; he was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, and illegal use of a weapon. A grand jury declined to indict Grim, and he was released in August 2022; the District Attorney stated charges might be revisited.

Clifton’s death compounded family tragedy: his 16-year-old sister, Tremiyah Lindsey, had been killed in a separate shooting in November 2021, and their mother was wounded in that incident. His brother, Tremayne Lindsey, has faced multiple charges for violent crimes, including attempted murder. If anyone has information about the February 25 shooting or the events leading up to it, please share what is known.
