On the evening of May 13, 2020, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 18-year-old Trent Jones was shot and killed on San Juan Drive. Jones had arranged to meet someone there to conduct a firearm transaction. A dispute between Jones and 17-year-old Daylon Banks reportedly escalated and Banks allegedly shot Jones. Jones was found with gunshot wounds, taken to a local hospital in critical condition, and died of his injuries.

Investigators used eyewitness accounts, video surveillance, and fingerprint analysis to identify Banks as the suspect. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, illegal use of a weapon, and armed robbery. At the time of the shooting, Jones was wearing an ankle monitor as a condition of his release on bond in an Iberville Parish case that included two counts of attempted second-degree murder.

If anyone witnessed the meeting on San Juan Drive or has information about the firearm transaction, please share what is known.
