A spring 2021 shooting in Baton Rouge ended with the death of 16-year-old Joseph Antoine III. On the evening of May 23, Antoine was inside a black Honda Accord on Sharp Lane outside an apartment complex when a gun battle broke out. He was gravely wounded during the exchange and died a few days later at a local hospital.

Detectives concluded the shooting began after a rear-seat passenger in the Honda fired at a group of people, and those people returned fire as the vehicle drove by again. Investigators identified three people as involved and later arrested them: 18-year-old Jesse Harris, charged with second-degree murder; a 15-year-old charged with second-degree murder; and a 16-year-old charged with nine counts of attempted second-degree murder, both juveniles held in detention.

Does anyone have footage or eyewitness information from Sharp Lane the night of May 23 that could shed more light on who fired first?
