Leroy Roy Crum III, 34, was found dead in the early morning hours of April 21, 2021, inside a vehicle on Greenwell Springs Road near Monterrey Boulevard in Baton Rouge. The East Baton Rouge Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

Baton Rouge Police Homicide Detectives initially had no identified motive or suspect. Investigators later released photos of a person believed to have vital information and sought the public’s help. On July 9, 2021, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Task Force, 27-year-old Niya Green was arrested; investigators say surveillance video captured Green fleeing the scene after shots were fired. Green was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison and charged with second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon in connection with Crum’s death.
