On the morning of June 7, 2021, 19-year-old Michael Brock was shot dead at point-blank range in an apartment at the Sunset Acres housing complex in Bogalusa, Louisiana. Brock had been staying with a relative of his girlfriend after receiving death threats on social media tied to a rivalry between two rap groups; Brock was affiliated with a faction called Three-13.

A 7-year-old child was in the room but was not physically harmed. Surveillance video and multi-agency intelligence helped identify two 19-year-old suspects: Tauj Chardez Taplin, accused of being the shooter, and Quardavion Tyvon White, accused of driving the getaway car. Arrest warrants were issued within 24 hours, and the pair were later located and arrested in Texas to be returned to Bogalusa to face second-degree murder charges.

Does anyone have information about Michael’s movements in Bogalusa or the Sunset Acres complex in the days before June 7, 2021?
