In the early morning hours of a Sunday in November 2018, 22-year-old Ketron McDonald was driving a Nissan Altima on eastbound Interstate 10 near the Perkins Road exit in Baton Rouge when gunfire from a passing vehicle struck him. The shots caused McDonald to lose control; his car was then hit by another vehicle on the interstate. Responders found him deceased at the scene around 4:00 a.m.

Baton Rouge police homicide detectives opened an investigation and asked the public for help, but investigators were unable to immediately identify a motive or name suspects. No arrests had been reported in the initial coverage. If anyone has information about the drive-by shooting that killed Ketron McDonald, please come forward to assist the investigation.
