Amanda Authement, 34, was killed on October 16, 2019, in Baton Rouge. Police were called to an apartment in the Tigerland area that Wednesday evening around 9:25 PM and found Authement and a 37-year-old man, Stan Riley, both dead of multiple gunshot wounds. The initial motive was unknown.

Within a week investigators announced arrests. Twenty-one-year-old Tyrese Magee was charged as a principal to first-degree murder after an anonymous Crime Stoppers tip. The next day two more suspects were taken into custody: 17-year-old Cedric Turner, charged with two counts of first-degree murder, and a 15-year-old male juvenile, booked on two counts of principal to first-degree murder. Magee reportedly told detectives that he and Turner had gone to the apartment intending to buy drugs and that the transaction escalated into the fatal shooting.

What information about Amanda, Stan, or that evening could help clarify why this visit turned deadly?
