On the night of June 27, 2021, Xavier Batiste, 19, was fatally shot outside a Waffle House on North University Avenue in Lafayette, Louisiana. Police found another 19-year-old, Brandon Arnold, dead in the parking lot; Batiste was located inside a vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds and died after being taken to a hospital.

Investigators identified 23-year-old Dejuan Clay as a suspect; Clay turned himself in the day after the shooting and was arrested on charges that included first-degree murder, obstruction of justice, and armed robbery. Reports say Batiste had been in a vehicle driven by Clay at the time of the shooting and that robbery, with Arnold—reported to be a Waffle House employee—believed to be the intended target, was the suspected motive.

Does anyone have information about Xavier’s movements that evening or witnessed the events outside the restaurant?
