On the late afternoon of September 23, 2018, 18-year-old Jaquincy Jawan Ross was found on Swan Avenue in Baton Rouge with fatal gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Ross was described as an African American teenager who helped care for his girlfriend’s young daughter and protected his younger brother; in the week before his death he was saving to buy a scooter for the child’s birthday.

The Baton Rouge Police Department opened a murder investigation. Authorities arrested 22-year-old Wilfred Celestine on October 2, 2018; he was booked at the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of second-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Court documents and witness accounts reported a possible motive: witnesses said Celestine was retaliating for the theft of a PlayStation earlier the same day.

Did anyone in the Baton Rouge area have contact with Jaquincy or saw him on Swan Avenue that day who can add details?
