On the afternoon of September 9, 2020, Daryl Chaney, a 45-year-old Black man, was found near the roadway in the 1300 block of Convention Street in Baton Rouge after sustaining apparent gunshot wounds. First responders pronounced him dead at the scene; the shooting was investigated as a homicide.

The Baton Rouge Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit handled the inquiry, but in the days and weeks that followed no suspects were publicly identified and no arrests were announced. The motive and circumstances that led to the shooting remain unclear, and the case is still open.

Does anyone who lived near Convention Street on September 9, 2020, or who knew Daryl Chaney have information that could help investigators?
