Clarence Augustus, 36, was shot and mortally wounded in Baton Rouge on the evening of December 9, 2020. The shooting happened about 5:57 p.m. in the 200 block of South 20th Street near North Boulevard. Responding officers located Augustus inside a vehicle; he was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries.

Investigators identified a suspect and in January 2021 the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force arrested 20-year-old Jarvis Bowie, who was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges that included first-degree murder and assault/drive-by shooting. Later court proceedings addressed those charges, including a trial outcome in August 2024.

Are there any witnesses or neighbors who remember seeing activity on South 20th Street that evening or who have other information about the shooting?
