Aaron Batiste was 29 when he was shot at an apartment complex on Plank Road in Baton Rouge shortly before 6 a.m. on April 23, 2021, a day after his birthday. Emergency crews took him to a nearby hospital, where he died later that day. The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation into the deadly shooting.

Batiste, an African American man known as Ziploc, was a father to two children and remembered by friends and family as lively and humorous. Authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the Baton Rouge area know Aaron or see anything on the morning of April 23, 2021 that could help the investigation?
