On the evening of Sunday, April 18, 2021, a dispute at the Colonial Terrace Condominiums on Wooddale Boulevard in Baton Rouge ended when 50-year-old Shelton L. Watson was found with fatal gunshot wounds inside an apartment. Emergency responders arrived but Watson was pronounced dead at the scene.

Baton Rouge Police detectives identified a suspect quickly; the following morning 28-year-old Tevin Gooden of Baker was taken into custody. Authorities reported an argument between Gooden and Watson before the shooting. Gooden was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison and charged with second-degree murder, illegal use of a weapon, obstruction of justice, and being a felon in possession of a firearm; he had reportedly been out on bond for a prior weapons charge with a court date the next day.

Does anyone have information about the argument or was in the area that evening and could help clarify what happened?
