Ivy Frank was 32 when he was killed on June 27, 2019, in a shooting at a home on Palmer Lane in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Described by loved ones as funny and outgoing, he was a father of three. Authorities say Michael Lee Wade, 48, forced his way into the home just before midnight and opened fire, killing Frank, 35-year-old Christa Sudduth and her 72-year-old grandmother Ruby White.

Sudduth’s two sons, ages 14 and 12, were in the house; the 14-year-old called 911 and later identified Wade to deputies, giving a vehicle description that led to Wade’s capture after a short pursuit in the Shenandoah neighborhood. Wade was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon; prosecutors filed a motion seeking the death penalty. As of May 2024, the case had experienced years of legal delays, including a change of judge in 2023, and Wade remained held on bond of more than $1 billion while awaiting trial.

Did anyone who knew Ivy or his family live in the Palmer Lane or Shenandoah area and have information that could help this case?
