On November 12, 2021, 16-year-old Tremiyah Lindsey, a senior at Glen Oaks High School, was fatally wounded in a shootout on Avocado Drive in Baton Rouge. She, her older brother Tremayne Lindsey, and their mother had gone to confront a resident when Tremayne reportedly exited the vehicle and opened fire on a home. Someone inside the residence, described as a relative of the resident, fired back; authorities characterize that return fire as self-defense and do not expect charges for that person.

All three members of the Lindsey family were struck. Tremiyah was pronounced dead at the scene; their mother was wounded and expected to survive. Tremayne was taken to a hospital in critical condition, and after his release was arrested and charged with five counts of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated criminal damage to property for his alleged role in initiating the shooting. Another brother, Clifton Lindsey, had previously been killed in a separate shooting incident.

Does anyone have information about the events on Avocado Drive that morning or about the Lindsey family’s interactions in the neighborhood?
