On a late Sunday night in November 2019, 25-year-old George Pikes of Baton Rouge was found on Cyrus Avenue, just off Airline Highway near Prescott Road, suffering multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency responders arrived and Pikes was taken from the scene in critical condition; he later died of those injuries and the street was cordoned off as detectives processed the scene.

The Baton Rouge Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit opened a homicide investigation and canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses. In the days after the shooting authorities said they were working to establish the circumstances and urged anyone with information to come forward. Initial reports did not name any suspects, and no arrests have been announced.

If anyone has information about George Pikes, his movements that night, or saw activity on Cyrus Avenue in November 2019, please share what is known with investigators.
