Burt Anthony Templet, 53, of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, died on June 6, 2019, after a violent confrontation at home in the early hours of June 3, 2019. His then 17-year-old son, Anthony Templet, placed a 911 call during which he admitted to shooting his father three times and said the two had fought and that he had retrieved a gun after running into his father’s room and closing the door. Burt was taken to Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center and later died of his injuries.

Family members later described a history of long-term physical and mental abuse and said Burt had taken Anthony from their home in Texas when Anthony was five, leaving his mother and sister unaware of his whereabouts for years. The defense presented Anthony’s actions as self-defense, and prosecutors acknowledged the severe neglect and abuse Anthony reportedly suffered.

Did anyone in Baton Rouge or Texas know the Templets or have information about the family’s history or the night of June 3, 2019?
