James Queen Jr., 40, was found fatally shot outside the Serenity Apartments on North Ardenwood Drive in Baton Rouge in the early morning of December 11, 2020. Police were called to the complex around 1:45 a.m. and discovered Queen lying near one of the apartment buildings; he had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooting was the third homicide at the apartment complex within a few months, part of a string of violent incidents in that area. Investigators from the Baton Rouge Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit canvassed the scene and appealed for the public’s help, but authorities had not identified any suspects or a motive and no arrests have been publicly announced.

An obituary lists his name as James Micheal Queen Jr. and remembers him as a son, father, and brother. Can anyone with information about what happened that night come forward to help the investigation?
