Woodrow Wisham, 48, was found fatally shot on the pavement in the 2300 block of Convention Street in Baton Rouge on the night of May 1, 2021. Police reported the shooting occurred around 9:45 p.m.; Wisham was discovered in the roadway with apparent gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Baton Rouge Police Department opened a homicide investigation but the public release provided only the time, location, and that Wisham had been shot. The statement did not give a motive, name witnesses, describe a sequence of events, or identify any suspect or arrests. The case was described as ongoing and investigators asked anyone with information to contact the BRPD Violent Crimes Unit or Crime Stoppers.

Are there witnesses or anyone with information who can help clarify what happened that night?
