Andre Johnson Jr., 26, was fatally shot on January 20, 2021, on Sherwood Common Boulevard in Baton Rouge. A woman who was with him was also struck and injured during the same incident. The early investigation produced few leads and the case remained unsolved for more than a year.

Investigators later recovered a discarded cigarette butt from the scene and extracted a DNA profile that was matched to Demondra Gaines. In December 2022 Gaines was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder in connection with Johnson’s death and the assault on the woman.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything on the night of January 20, 2021, that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
