Nizual Whittine was 19 when he was shot and killed in Baton Rouge on the evening of August 15, 2020. The shooting happened during an attempted robbery on Delaware Street; a second person was wounded and survived with non-life-threatening injuries. Whittine was moved from the scene to Hyacinth Avenue, where he was found and later pronounced dead that night.

The Baton Rouge Police Department investigated and identified two 19-year-old suspects, D’Quan Lee and Treavon Lowery. On September 1, 2020, U.S. Marshals arrested both males and they were booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. They were charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, along with armed robbery and aggravated criminal damage to property.

Anyone who knew Nizual, was in the area that night, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
