A late-night fight on Rogers Road in Hammond turned deadly for 19-year-old Adrius AJ Warren. The confrontation occurred shortly before midnight on September 20, 2019, when witnesses say Warren was striking 22-year-old Tyrius Young. According to Young’s account to law enforcement, Young had a handgun that accidentally discharged while he was being struck; the single bullet hit Warren in the chest.

The gunfire also wounded Young’s mother, who was struck in the hip. Both victims were taken by friends or family to North Oaks Medical Center, where deputies already on a separate detail encountered them in the emergency room. Warren was taken into surgery but died shortly after 1:00 a.m. on September 21, 2019; Young’s mother was treated and released.

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office investigated and Tyrius Young was arrested and booked on a manslaughter charge in connection with Warren’s death. Does anyone have information about that night on Rogers Road or knew Adrius Warren?
