A road-rage incident on Interstate 10 in Baton Rouge ended with a fatal shooting at a nearby car wash. Joseph Tatney Jr., 40, was shot multiple times and died at the scene on June 7, 2021. The altercation began with tailgating and a verbal exchange at a red light; according to the other driver, Tatney brandished a handgun during that exchange.

After the interstate confrontation, Tatney followed the other driver to Benny’s Car Wash on Perkins Road. Witnesses said Tatney approached while the other man was vacuuming his vehicle and punched him twice in the face. The other driver retrieved a handgun from his car, then stood over Tatney and fired multiple times. Officers who were at the adjacent gas station apprehended the shooter at the scene; he was booked on second-degree murder and weapons charges.

What additional witnesses, surveillance, or forensic evidence might clarify the sequence of events that led to the shooting?
