A January 5, 2021 shooting on Jefferson Avenue near Plank Road in Baton Rouge left 34-year-old Trikee Kelly dead. The shooting happened around 8:30 p.m.; Kelly, an African American male, was fatally wounded and pronounced dead at the scene. Two other people, a 31-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman, suffered life-threatening injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital after fleeing the scene in a vehicle to seek help.

Baton Rouge Police investigators initially searched for a motive and the person or persons responsible. Police later identified a suspect, and Lyndon B. Johnson was arrested during a traffic stop and booked into the parish jail on charges that include first-degree murder for Kelly’s death, as well as attempted first-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon related to the injured victims.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the events leading up to it, please share what is known with investigators.
