Travis Washington, 24, was fatally shot on the night of September 12, 2018, or in the early hours of September 13, on LA 1 in Plaquemine, Louisiana. First responders initially thought they were dealing with a crash; when they reached the scene they found Washington, the driver, had suffered a gunshot wound and was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died.

Investigators concluded the vehicle collision was the aftermath of a planned killing and believed a passenger in Washington’s car shot him. Authorities arrested a suspect named Darrius Washington, but law enforcement did not publicly disclose a motive or the precise nature of the relationship between victim and suspect. Family and friends remembered Travis through an obituary that emphasized the impact he had on those around him.

Several key questions remain unanswered for the public about that September night and the case’s legal resolution. If anyone has information about what happened on LA 1 that night, please share it with investigators.
