On the morning of December 16, 2021, a verbal dispute on Evangeline Street in Baton Rouge turned violent and 51-year-old OW Turner was shot around 10:06 a.m. Turner died at the scene after the altercation. The male suspect fled before officers arrived and the Baton Rouge Police Department’s Homicide Division opened an investigation.

Detectives worked for several months to identify the shooter. On March 4, 2022, Baton Rouge Police apprehended 49-year-old Marquette Alexander and booked him into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. Investigators say Alexander was the man who argued with Turner and then shot him; he was charged with second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon.

Are there witnesses or anyone with information about the December 16 confrontation on Evangeline Street who can help investigators?
