On a May afternoon in 2021 a quiet Richmond Street home in Baker, East Baton Rouge Parish, became the scene of a double killing. Deputies found 26-year-old Brandon Parker and 32-year-old Christin Parker inside the house, both fatally shot. The initial 911 call disconnected before more information could be obtained.

Investigators identified Christin Parker’s ex-boyfriend, Eric Smith, as a suspect. Smith led law enforcement on a multi-state pursuit from Louisiana into Mississippi that ended on Interstate 10 in Biloxi after his vehicle was disabled with spike strips and rolled into the median. Smith was shot and killed by police during the stop. An eyewitness in Baker said one of the victims’ daughters ran to a neighbor shouting that her mother had been shot; the neighbor found Christin Parker unresponsive with a large head wound and significant blood loss. The pursuit and its aftermath resulted in four fatalities, including the suspect and a young child who was with him.

If anyone knew the Parkers, their routines, or saw activity on Richmond Street that day, please share what was seen.
