Christopher Randall Goudeau, 23, was fatally shot at his home on Black Bayou Road in Gonzales, Louisiana during an argument with two acquaintances in the early morning hours of Tuesday, June 12, 2018. Deputies arrived shortly after 6 a.m. and found Goudeau dead; the people involved had left the scene.

Investigators quickly identified 24-year-old Kirpatrick Morrison and 22-year-old Lauren Donaldson as suspects. The two were located after a traffic crash in neighboring East Baton Rouge Parish; deputies at the wreck discovered they were the individuals sought in the Gonzales homicide. Both were arrested and booked on charges of first-degree murder. The three had been together at Goudeau’s home when the dispute escalated into the fatal shooting.

Anyone who knew Christopher, or who has information about the events that morning, is asked to come forward.
