Keldric Deon Lewis, 42, was fatally assaulted in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was found unresponsive in the 1500 block of North Acadian Thruway West at about 9:00 p.m. on May 1, 2021, and taken to a local hospital. He died of his injuries two days later on May 3, 2021. His organs were donated through the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency, reportedly saving four other people.

Witnesses at a nearby crawfish boil said Lewis had been sitting under a tree with another man shortly before the attack. That man, later identified as 38-year-old Antonio Palmer, allegedly struck Lewis in the head multiple times with a stick and took money from his hand. Investigators say robbery was the suspected motive. An anonymous Crime Stoppers tip led to Palmer’s arrest on June 30, 2021; he reportedly admitted to the attack but the victim’s family disputes Palmer’s claim to be related.

Does anyone who knew Keldric or was at that crawfish boil have additional information to share?
