A long-running dispute in Sunset, Louisiana, ended with the fatal shooting of 34-year-old Kendrick Lawrence, known as Coppee, on the afternoon of March 25, 2019. He was found on East Martin Luther King Drive with a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene; an autopsy confirmed the gunshot as the cause of death. The shooting occurred on the one-year anniversary of his marriage to Tawana Calais Lawrence.

Investigators identified 36-year-old Walter Savoie Jr. as the primary suspect. After fleeing the scene, Savoie returned and surrendered at the urging of his family; he was taken into custody and booked into the St. Landry Parish Jail. He was charged with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Kendrick worked for U.S. Lawns and was remembered by the community as a devoted family man; his funeral was held April 6, 2019, at St. Charles Borromeo Roman Catholic Church.
